Checking In and Checking Out

This is me officially checking in. I am checking into the Lenten season. I know, I know Lent started a few weeks ago....but I guess it is better late than never. This morning my husband pulled me out of bed at 6:00am. I know that is not that early but I was up until 1:00am reading so 6:00 came to fast. We made our way to prayer at 6:30. Our church has opened its doors to prayer Monday-Saturday for an organized prayer time. When our Pastor said he was going to organize prayer, I felt a desire to go but I am not a morning person and I hate getting up in the morning so I haven't made it. This morning I really did not want to get up, but Tyler got up to go so I got up and went. It was AMAZING! My peace has been slowly slipping away from me. There are so many things up in the air. Where will we live? Will Tyler get a job? How will I finish school? What if, What if, What if...The group prayed for us and I couldn't help but bawl. I felt the heaviness and worry float away. I felt closer to Tyler and I just felt good. My peace has been restored, and I feel beyond blessed to have the church family we have found here in Mississippi. I'm not sure if they realize how much they impact my life. God put us in that church to be prayed for at that moment, and it was beautiful. When I asked Tyler what he thought, he could only say, "Powerful." And it was powerful.
 
Now that I'm checking in with my prayers, I am checking out, or logging off of facebook. I have never "given up" anything before, but for some reason I had it on my heart to give up facebook. I waste soooo much time on facebook it is absolutely ridicules.
 
If you need to contact me, text, call, email but don't facebook me.I won't get it. I might have Tyler check it for me and respond to specific messages, etc. but if you read this and need to contact me please don't do it on facebook. And if you see me on facebook, please yell at me!

what a week!

This week has been awful. Just awful. Too much homework and not enough time, but I knew it was going to be all over tonight. I just had to make it through my night class...just till 8:30. Unfortunatly, our washing machine broke and flooded our bedroom, our office and my bathroom...so it's not over yet...ugh..

BUT! and this is a big big BUT! I get to drive home in one week. Not only will I get to be apart of one of my best friends wedding but I'll be at home with the family for a whole week! There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is only 7 days away!
