Hello World!

Life has been pretty interesting lately. New things have happened, old things have resurfaced and some current things still remain. Vague, I know. Where shall I start?

How about I start with the super-duper superficial?

saturday night, I colored my hair for the very first time. It's taken me years to bring myself to do it. The end result? Well, folks, looks like this hair is too dark for "Color in a box" hair coloring. Sigh. It was a fun process with some fun folks to help me!! Thanks Linds, Nikki, and Hope!

For all you men out there, when a woman does something to her hair, there is usually some kind of meaning behind it. Now, as to what meaning that actually is, that's always up for debate. It could be good, it could be bad. As for the meaning behind my adventures is changing the style of my hair, well, I'll leave that up for debate.

Lately I have also flirted with the idea of getting braids. In all my 25 years of life, I have never had braids in my hair. I've always had my own hair and a lot of it and never thought to put fake hair in my hair. So really, you all will just have to wait and see what I do here in the next few weeks.

Moving right along...

I graduated from Vineyard small group leadership class!! What's up leadership class 07!! I had a really great time getting to know others who have a heart/desire to be small group leaders. I learned from the people I went through class with and can't wait to see where God takes them, as well as me.

I want to follow God wherever he takes me. Being a leader/being a leader at JH is not something I want to do in order to "be cool" or "fit in" or "be popular". I'm not looking for rewards; not looking to climb any kind of leadership ladder, if one exists. I desire to be developed as a leader for the glory of God, growing in intimacy with God as well as sensitivity to God's spirit. I'm looking forward to living life along side of women and developing them as well.

So here we go!!

Today, I found a special spot at the church to go and sit with the Lord. I usually find myself there at least once during the business week because a client of mine lives near the church. I'll usually hang there for an hour before my meeting. Today was different. I didn't have a meeting, as my client couldn't make the appointment. I just wanted to get away; find a quiet place to be still. God lead me to a nice little room where I could do just that. It's been a journey to once again find time to just sit with Jesus. But I know that he wants me to want him. I'm thankful that God is drawing me back to him...my heart has missed him.

Well, there you have it. Just a small piece of my world for you to read.

Have a wonderful night!!
