Not Much Going on
Well ladies and gentleman, sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but to be quite honest nothing is really going on. Work is keeping me busy with traveling. I have been away at least once a week this month. Tomorrow I leave for our North American Conference in Las Vegas. I'm excited about that. Last year was my first conference and it was slightly overwhelming. It is always fun getting to spend time with the coaches and get to know them on a more personal level.
Jimmy is busy with school and work. Now that winter is kinda on its way out the door they are starting to get ready for spring. Jimmy says they are doing spring cleaning. How do I get them to do spring cleaning around the house?!?!?!?!?! The school work doesn't seem to stop for him. I just keep telling him not much longer.
Tabber is getting bigger and bigger. Took her to the vet last Monday and she weighs 9 lbs. Holy cow!!! She's doing a lot better with potty training, so that's a relief.
Jimmy got me MarioKart for Wii!! I've been wanting it since we got the Wii and couldn't find it anywhere. I came home on Valentine's Day after a fun and bargain finding shopping trip with my mom, Auntie M, and Gremmy to find a beautiful flower (which Jimmy calls our Love Fern, it's a gerber daisy and I'm not doing very good at keeping it alive), some homemade chocolate covered strawberries (which were to die for) and the game. Needless to say we didn't do anything else for the rest of the weekend except play Wii.
My Grandmother had a mastectomy the middle of the month and is doing pretty good. I'm sure she wishes things would heal right away and that she could be the 'superwoman' that she is right away, but she can't. Try telling her that!!! We LOVE her though!!
Other than that, got some things coming up soon. The weekend after I get home from Vegas we are celebrating Sara and Jimmy's birthday in Bloomsburg. Judging high school cheering tryouts in March. Trying to figure out when Alicia, Ang and I can do a Girls Weekend in March sometime. Going on a bus trip to AC in April with my mom and Jimmy for the American Cancer Society. And very patiently waiting for June to get here so I can go see Sarah Louise and Abby Hope (it sure does seem like forever till that gets here).
Much love to everyone!!!

Purpose
I got an e-mail newsletter today and I thought it was a great message. So I thought I'd post it...
Lord I’d love to rise to a new level, but I’m afraid of heights.
I read a convicting statement today about why most of us don’t accomplish our goals. The writer said that it is because we come up with great excuses that shift the responsibility from ourselves to things that seem out of our control. For example one might say, “If I made more money…” or “If only I had more opportunities…”, or “Things would be different if they….” Passing off responsibility can be the kiss of death. When you start to believe that all the negative things that happen in your life are out of your control then you quickly loose hope. A hopeless person is a dead person. Hope will keep us alive. (Pretty sure that’s a song lyric) If we don’t have hope we will quit trying.
I believe in hope. I believe it is a powerful gift from God. I believe that we have the ability to nurture and grow it by taking responsibility for the life we have been entrusted with. The book QBQ by John Miller teaches that the answer is in the question if the question is asked properly. Q: How can I become a better husband? A: I can become a better husband. Q: When can I make time to spend more time with God? A: I can make time to spend more time with God. Q: What can I do to help someone in need? You guessed it. A: I can help someone in need. When you take responsibility for yourself instead of making excuses, something amazing happens. God will give you hope. Hope will give you vision. Vision will give you purpose. Purpose will change your life and every life you touch.
What are you waiting for? God is calling you to another level. Quit making excuses. START, GO, MOVE, DO!!! These are powerful words that once acted out are sure to propel you to success.
“If people can’t see what God is doing they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals they are most blessed.” Proverbs 29:18 (The Message)
