| Wow today's sermon at church was great to hear. To know that if Christ did not rise on the third day like He said He would than there would be no hope. I'm so thankful for the Lord I serve. THe church I'm going to now is called "Grace church of gulf coast" One thing that I keep hearing over and over from other visitors is " Grace, is a license to sin" I had to think about how I would reply to that response if I had someone tell me that. I thought it out and began searching my Bible. I know that that GOd's grace for me is not a license to sin because if I have accepted Christ as my savior than I have been changed. I'm under the Lord not myself therefore I live in Christ and not in my flesh. That's when I try to be more like Jesus which in return keeps me from my sins. If I don't have the relatioship with Christ then yes I would be taking advantage of the salvation that Christ has provided. SO if I ever come face to face with someone who says, aw...you go to that church where it's a license to sin, I'll simply reply and say it's not the grace that licenses anyone to sin, it's living in the flesh that causes your sin...I've died to sin and now have taken on the cross and Jesus lives within my heart.....therefore sinning is not a habit for me because I'm thinking it through like the old saying was "WWJD" What would JEsus do? | | |
| I'm coming to OKC just in two weeks and can't wait to visit everyone...I"m so excited and I just can't hide it...I know I know I know...lol...oh today I started my first class and boy was I glad that I finally got over my nerves...the only problem that I may fall into is when the students I teach are some students that I went to school with at the beginning of my AF career...sometimes they like to challenge me...too and it can be a bit frustrating because I feel like they may be trying to pick at me for being a new instructor...I just have to nip it in the bud...lol ... | | |
| Finally, I've got some time to spare to post my thoughts...ahh...wheww this week has been long for me getting up at 0430 and not getting home till about 5:30 pm just about every week day makes it pretty long but I do enjoy what I do except I do miss my friends. I really need to get into the groove of a bible study or something. I've been going to kick boxing a couple of times that is offered on our base at a gym but today they were locked down...I so wanted to do it too! The lady that teaches it is so cute she's a senior citizen and she has so much spunk or I should say endurance. She's funny too! The first thing she said was I'm old and I won't tell you how old I am but I'm getting Social Security. SHe reminds me of the little asian lady in the"Incredibles" movie. She is just like her...it's so funny but I love to go because it's something different other than running 2 miles for two of my days. Well, I've just taught a couple of lectures yesterday and today and boy was I nervous but I felt a little at ease with the class because I've got to know them a little bit better since I've been sitting behind. THe only one thing I had that was not really a problem but confrontational when another member/student argued with me about an answer to a question. Luckily, though some others interjected to back me up....I don't know if I can deal with someone who's overbearing at times but I know I'll have GOD to call upon at times like that....thank goodness because I would probably lose my mind if I didn't restrain myself. Anyways, Sydney is getting smarter everyday and it just simply amazes me how much she changes from day to day....like today she started to sing her ABC's by herself...you can't clearly understand it but she's trying and she knows what she's singing it's so adorable it makes my heart melt....I know that is how GOD sees us when we do something so precious in HIS eyes or even when we do things with our children especially...just marvel over them...I really do like that we can become parents to relate even more to our heavenly father...children really do bring things into perspective...WEll I better stop rambling on...it's getting longer and later in the night..I do miss everyone and will say a prayer for my YA-YA sisters who are close to my heart...I'll never forget you all....Remember that even when I'm not there that you can count on me to pray for you when you need someone to...that's what I'm here for...love yall | | |
| Ryan is coming home tomorrow!!! YEAH!! He's only been gone for a few days but I just miss him when he's not around he's my bestest friend and of course MY Husband...who wouldn't miss their own spouse. Well Ryan still hasn't found out for definite if the marathon is off or not. It's not the marathon being cancelled it's his coworkers from OKC that may just not follow through. I hope they still consider going so that I can come to OKC and visit everyone, Well I've been watching American Idol this season and I really get hooked to it since I just love singing and hearing others sing. I dont' think though I would be good enough to stand in front of Simon Cowell. He's brutally blunt...and he did get back what he sewn. There was a young lady on the show who's still on the finals,,Mandisa I think is her name anyways he commented on her weight and it hurt her very much so when it was time for her to face him again she did it so humbly...I mean it made him really feel bad..which is what i meant by reaping what you sew. I really believe that what you put out in this world is what you end up getting back so make sure you make it the best. | | |
| Well today was a great Valentine's day...I got some flowers from Ryan..roses..I didn't think he had done anything since he told me this morning after I gave him a little gift for valetine's day that he wasn't getting me anything...so yes I fell for it because I don't expect much from him anyways because he's not the one in the relationship that is a gift giver...anyways...I just felt today was a good day...I got to sit around in my office and do some lesson plans and then at the end of the day I had some of the instructors that I work with come in and sit down to just share with me their horror/funny stories that they had while being an instructor. LEt me tell you I'm not looking forward to some of the scary stories at all to happen to me but if I do ever encounter them I hope that God would give me wisdom because all I would do is panic or not react very well without His help.
Well Ryan today called his coworkers at Tinker and it seems as though they are not sure if they are pressing on with the marathon...which really is not good because that was my ticket to come visit OKC. I'm trying to get him to go and visit OKC anyways for the same timeframe since I miss everyone and do want to see you all. I hope that they do have some motivation and still decide to follow through versus dropping out of it because of lack of motivation. I know Ryan was pretty psyched about it too and now it seems as though the rest of the guys have lost a little of inspiration or desire to go. I need to take my vacation anyways because we're losing instructors by the summer and our replacements are few. That means alot of hours at work and no down time to relax which I'm hoping doesn't get too overwhelming.
My mom is coming to visit me next week which is so exciting because she hasn't seen our house actually no one has yet except the pics that I've sent through email. I just miss her company and inspiration. She's such a positive role model for a prayer warrior and witness of GOd's word. She's where I want to be a godly mother and wife. She's very unselfish and caring. That's what makes everyone fall in love with her. | | |
