What's Happening?

We are definately moving. Everything was finalized last week. We sold the house and all the papers are signed. I'm sooo excited! And at the same time it is sad. Looking at pictures of our backyard in the summer doesn't help things either. And the fact that boxes are starting to appear and book shelves and closets are starting to look a little lonely. But I'm not going to let that dampen my spirits. I am excited about the move. And not only because of the new house, the music room (yahoo!) and the big new bedroom, but because now dad will be home sooner and we will be closer to his shop. And hopefully we can have more dinners together. And not eat at 7 at night as much.

I have heard a lot of sermons and speaches and read some blog posts lately about evangelizing. Too much that I can't ignore it anymore . . . and the fact that I have wasted sooo many opportunities to talk to people I am around and get out of my comfort zone and get involved in someone elses life. I have decided that that is not going to happen anymore. I have deliberately kept myself from saying something when someone swears too many times at the ballet studio where I work. And lately I have been getting to know two girls from the studio that I am talking to more. One of them is actually my neigbors cousin and she keeps reminding me of the time quite a few years ago when my mom asked her not to take God's name in vain. Unknown to us, because I haven't really talked to her until just a few months ago, she was totally freaked by that and doesn't want to meet my mom again. I hope I can somehow, with God's help, stear that conversation next time towards sharing the gospel with her. She is Roman Catholic, so I don't know how effective I will be. But I can't just let these opportunities get away from me anymore. I am slowly seeing how unfailfull I have been to my awesome, all-powerful, miracle-working God, who can do things way beyond what we could ask or hope.
