What in the world is going on?!

Ok, so I haven't written a blog post in forever. And there have been a few things going on in my world, so I thought it was high time to catch you up. Where do I start?
Highlights:
- Church building is up for sale (lots of interested parties), any day now
- Looking for acreage for church but most affordable in size we need are FAR away from Spring
- Let's move the church 30 miles away! Willis, TX here we come!
- Laid off from job of 15 years, to throw a kink in the mix
- Let's move our family first so we can 'make it home'!
- But first, Christmas holidays and all the fun!
- Look for rentals, find a rental house, get approved and register kids for new schools in less than a week.
- Move family into beautiful, weird rental house near the lake and start taxi mom life.
- Work on painting and fixing up house to put on the market, done (multiple showings every day), also any day now
- Kid #1 makes baseball team, kid #2 is playing golf and has already played in several tournaments in new school, hence the taxi mom life
- Start mobile church at a theater just a couple miles from the house - Way to go Alive Church!
- Watch God work miracle after miracle to make all these things happen and help me to keep my sanity in the midst of it all

It will be fun to look back at all of this one day and see how God put all the puzzle pieces together to work things out for His glory and our good. What a wild ride!

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility. I am a Promise, With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality! And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up? That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning. Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work. No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05. But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up. I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then? After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it. Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection. The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 m...

Winter Storm 2011

Well, I think we're going to make it. The threat of 5 inches of snow is now past - and we've not missed a single moment of electricity or heat. The biggest dilemma at our house is that the Xbox won't play right now. Kid #1 continues to ask "What are we gonna do today?" and we finally answered with "Nothing!" I do need to introduce you to the newest members of the family. . . The two tetras have been around for several years and just got upgraded to a bigger tank. They have now been joined by 2 beautiful guppies and a molly. None of them have been named yet, but I'm putting in my vote today: the black one should be 'Vader' (as in Darth), and I think the guppies should be Phineas and Ferb. The tetras would have to be 'Peat' and 'Repeat' since you can't tell the difference between them. What do you think? (Which is funny that I ask, because a. you probably won't respond and b. they're not my fish to name) I...
