We're Raising a Baby Bird...

Or maybe a Pterodactyl? I can't decide which one it is. See for yourself.

Rockin' PCB.

So, we are in Panama City Beach this week. It's our first "official road trip as parents of a toddler". Wow. PCB looks different as parents than it did as college bound spring breakers, that's for sure.
Lake Austin is unsure about the sand. He's not really a fan. He does enjoy the pool, however. He's not been sleeping nearly as well as he should be at night. He's so busy during the day that he should sleep like a champ, but it's been on and off. He was up five times last night.
The weather has been so-so..It's actually been warmer at home for part of the week. I have managed to read some great books while here..and am working on ignoring the work email--at least until Monday.

See you next week!
We miss Jackson C. Boo.

Pick up the phone!

You always hear about people in their Christian walk who are "called" by God to do his work in the world. I'm getting my call. I had no clue it would be so loud. Really, really loud. It's not unlike a fancy cell phone ringtone. Think of the ones you hear in the supermarket, or an elevator..when people can't figure out how to shut it off...Yeah, that's my call. It keeps ringing. And ringing. And ringing. I'm glad it's been this loud, actually. It helps me realize I'm heading in the right direction. I feel the change God is bringing about in my life, and I'm wholeheartedly excited, and open to where the Spirit is leading me. I'm getting really fired up for this part of my journey. Who knew I would end up with a heart for ministry? Well, God did. But aside from him. Anybody else know this? If you knew, why didn't you give me a head's up? I could have been more prepared! In all seriousness, please pray for me as I continue down this path. God is leading me into a healing ministry for women who have been sexually abused or sexually assaulted. As of now, I do not know the direction it will go; but I do know it is going, and I do know God will use me to make a difference in the lives of women who have been victimized in this manner. I'm not sure what it will look like, but I do know it's coming... Thanks!
