We knew it wouldn't last.....

the Christmas break that is. School has now started once again and once again our lives are filled with ridiculously expensive books that don't get used as much as thier price tag would warrent, hours of coffee downing lectures, more homework and group projects than we care to list and of course tuition and fees. This is all in addition to that little thing we all like to partake in called LIFE.

Yes this semester will be very busy for us both, especially since Lindsay is working more than ever and we are both attending two different Universities, but it will be the last one for Lindsay and I know that this too shall pass. We will just take it one week at a time with the support of our awesome lifegroup, family and friends.

A quick recap on the last week of events for us:
1) My knee is much better, but is still only at about 70% maybe.
2) I rear ended an Accord in the truck at a stop sign, but no damage was done and I have heard nothing from the owner so hopefully I am in the clear.
3) We have been keeping Kaitlyn for a couple days at time, giving us our first taste of parenthood.......I am soooooo not ready! Kaitlyn is an amazingly well behaved and smart child, but even she almost wears me out. 2 thumbs up to you parents!!(even though I know Lindsay and I were the most well behaved and sweet children EVER)
4) We really want to go on a mission trip this year but don't know where to yet so if you come across any good ideas let us know. We would like to leave the country, but are not necessarily set on it.
5) Lindsay knocked out 2 intercession classes worth 3 credit hours. Way to go her!
6) We have a problem of sorts with our plumbing. Our toilets just don't quite have the flushing power they used to so Jack (our landlord) is coordinating with the plumber to come take a look. Hopefully that gets resolved before our plungers need replaced. :) I hope that wasn't too much info for ya.
7) We bought the Louie Giglio "Passion" series dvd's and are discussing those at lifegroup. He tries to put in perspective just how INDESCRIBABLE our God is. I would highly recommend at least watching "Indescribable" and "How Great is Our God". I believe 268store.com is the cheapest place to purchase them.

That is about all we can think of for now and it's past our bedtime so I will end it here.

Oh, one more thing. The Lord has really been telling me that I need to work on establishing new relationships with people I am around on a regular basis but don't typically interact with. There are several co-workers that I would love to witness to or invite to church but I have never really talked with them before so I am going to focus on trying to establish a foundational relationship with them so they might have a more open mind when I mention Jesus or chuch in a conversation. This also applies to school. I need to at least build some type of relationship with the students around me so they would be more open to accepting a church invite. Please pray that I will be sensitive to the Spirit prompting me to talk with others and give me the courage to initiate that conversation.

Good Night.

I am too tired to proofread this so I apologize for mistakes.
