-FELLOWSHIP:
Two of my best friends who were in my wedding, Aleks Snowden and Stacey Williams, both moms and former college roommates of mine came to visit me in Texas in the beginning of April. We had a blast trying to recapture the energy of our youth! And we found a new favorite drink the Moscow Moose, or was it donkey? Ha! We shopped till we dropped and I fixed turkey in about 8 gourmet ways to keep our waistlines slim. Lots of laughter and lots of love; it was a blessed weekend!
(I look so short next to Nick)
I was able to attend a Christian women's conference, PINK IMPACT, where Christine Caine spoke (AMAZING) and Dove Award winner Kari Jobe and Hillsong's Miriam Webster led worship. Pink Impact is renowned for providing women with an opportunity to hear from the most dynamic and inspiring Christian leaders of our generation. Along with gifted communicators, there's anointed worship, Prophetic Word, talented performers, special surprises and lots of fun. It was an amazing time of fellowship with the girls from my lifegroup. It was so impactful we encouraged our hubby's to attend the men's conference, Alpha Summit. Nick will be going next weekend so lets pray for God's work in him during that time.
(I felt super tall. I need to stand near women more often!)
Nick and I also got to hang out with local friends & host dinner at our place several times for Stephanie Barr whose friend was in from California this month. I got to learn all kinds of amazing things about the movie industry including how they have about a $1500 daily budget for snacks. I also learned how to play Texas Hold Em and taught three people from three different states how to play euchre!
--SERVICE:
Nick and I had the opportunity to serve side by side during the CARES Spring dinner which honors current CARES teams. We had a great time serving dinner, drinks, and clearing away the tables for this event. It also gave us a great chance to meet the CARES corporate staff and our placement agent, Marie. We also have gone through our first training session GO CARES! this past weekend. We can't wait to be placed on the mission field!
--FUN:
Nick and I learned how to make sushi and had a fun sushi date at home!
And joined friends this month for a seafood broil! I brought deviled eggs (who knew they'd be such a hit?!?) but the cornbread and sausage were my favorites!
--WORK: Summer months are upon us and my private practice caseload is slowing down while the workload of the section 8 housing complex is beginning to pick up, there were 15 kids creating scrapbook pages for mom last week. I've also developed my very own website which should be finished this week and then published on the www! Nick has been hard at work, as always, trying to save his company big bucks by providing 24/7 IT coverage for all of their accounts. He's a genius to say the least.
-ON OUR NIGHTSTAND: Nick's reading "Wild at Heart" by J.Eldredge and the latest Dresden Files (Butcher); I'm reading "God Chasers" by T. Tenney and have "The Pursuit of God" by Tozer up next.
-PRAY FOR:1)our CARES placement--that the Lord prepare the residents and management staff's hearts, that we be placed in a wonderful community where we will be well received, for Nick and I as we prepare our hearts for serving others together, that the apartment we're placed in is large enough (1300sqft) and allows pets! 2)My client caseload at both CCA and Burson counseling to pick up 3) Healing. My body is still running amuck and after a multitude of costly tests (CT, Sonogram, blood, urine, etc) they still don't know what is wrong with my abdomen or what is the source of the pain. We want to start getting pregnant soon, but have to postpone until my health is 100%. Please keep us in your prayers! 4) That Nick would continue to have favor in the eyes of his employer 5)That Nick have a blessed time at Alpha Summit; pray for the speakers and the worship team who are delivering a Word from the Lord and for the attendees to be blessed and ministered to. 6)For safe travels in June when we go to INDIANA!!!!!!
