2008!!!!!

WOW!!! it's HERE!!!! What an AMAZING gift! Well, I can honestly say that while our family was all split up...This years/last years transition was the BEST New Years I have ever experienced! We went over to the Miller's along with their dear friends GiGi - husband Mark & 3 kiddos, and the Waldron's. We ate, laughed, Played games, ate some more...laughed laughed laughed!

Then Joel, Alan, and I shot out quick style to make it home before midnight (arriving aprox. 11:57) so we could pray out the old year and pray in the new year. I have to say that it truly was such a powerful experience! WOW! The Holy Spirit just filled the house! A really cool thing was knowing Che' and Lindsey Hendrix were praying at the SAME time! (GOOSE BUMPS)

John brought in the new year quietly. He is preparing for his NEW JOB!!!! He officially starts tomorrow at Gateway Church in South Lake! He has been added to their IT team :) Can I just tell you.....I AM SOOOO OUTRAGEOUSLY EXCITED!!!! YAAAY!!! He is thrilled and excited as well :)

Laura babysat for/with a friend then went to a dear dear friends house for a ZANY night of FUN! I love love love her PRECIOUS friends at Faith Christian! God has blessed her with some DYNAMIC friendships. Her whole senior class has a whimsy personality! I will miss seeing them when they all graduate and scatter to various colleges! But am soooo pumped for Laura going to ACU in less than 7 MONTHS !!! :0

I am sooo excited because she will re-join AMAZING friends there in Abilene :) ANOTHER bunch of ZANY whimsy friends she went to school and church with when we lived there. They are just all so goofy and NUTTY NUTS! She is EXTREMELY ANXIOUS as well and CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Emily stayed the night at the Miller's....yet another ZANY WHIMSY BUNCH! LOVE LOVE LOVE those peeps! Didn't see her or Laura till after 3pm today! CRAZY! But when I did boy OH boy...did they fill me in on all the crazy antics they experienced!


We are so so so so BLESSED! Thank you Lord for they safety of our family at what can be such a DANGEROUS time! There were many many more people I wish we could have been together with praying out the old and praying in the new year with!

I pray a BLESSED, JOY-FILLED New Year for all of you! I pray especially for you to be prepared to receive the FULL MEASURE of His POWERFUL Blessings! I pray you understand the depth of God's love and what He has planned for you as I have been praying for our family! May your eyes seek the Kingdom of God, your heart feel HIS every beat, your ears to hear His every word, your hands/feet to share His every blessing and your lips to SHOUT all that has been added unto you!

May you sing out the song that He has engraved INTO your heart...

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
