On Sunday evening, at one of the housing projects I work at, a young man was shot. Yesterday at work one of my kids told me he had seen the shooting and watched the young man get shot in the head. Dear God, I pray that you will please have mercy on these sweet kids and watch over them, keeping them safe and with a feeling of Your security.
I am also working on redecorating the living room. Right now it is kind of just - blah - but I have great ideas for it - just need the money! :) Big prayers that money will come and assist in the needs of my blah living room.

Day One of Blogging
Well, I decided to jump on the wagon train and join a world of technological advances to share my life with others. With this new way of communicating with others, I am excited to be able to share my thoughts, visions, goals, and dreams with the world.

God has been doing some amazing things in my life lately. Getting married is one of the best things to every happen to me, second only to my marriage to Christ. Jeff and I have been working on making our little garage apartment into a home. Though it is taking a LOOOOONG time and a huge toll on our energy and ability to think clearly, it is really starting to come together and is looking quite quaint. We aren't satisfied with it yet, but are on our way to really making it uniquely ours.
While I love my job, work has been emotionally testing since we got back from our honeymoon. A mixture of loving the time off with my husband, wanting to be home with him full time, and the emotional stressors my kids at work face in their day-to-day life has started taking a toll on the amount of energy and brain power I have at the end of the night. I love these kids as if they were my own, and my heart breaks with their stories of abandonment, fear, and the hope that someone somewhere would care for them and love them. I have not been sleeping well, praying for their safety and security - but mostly praying that they will come to have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus so that they might know someone loves them more than life itself.
Yes, I think I will like having a blog and using it as a way to destress and unwind from the day.
