this and that

drum roll please.....after months and months, i have finally acomplished having all my laundry washed. dried. folded. hung. and put up! this is cause for celebration. hehe! i failed at doing the best job of laundry when it was just hubby and i; and with 2 additions this past year, it often seemed like an unreachable goal. but ive done it. and am happy beyond words.

what else...well, after taking a year off work, i applied for a human resources position with a large fashion corporation in mid-december. i heard from them Sunday, had my first interview monday, and got a call today for my second interview tomorrow. so far, i feel very confident that this is going to be the best career move ever! i dont want to tell all the bells and whistles of the job, just yet, as i dont want to jinx myself. but, i will post again after i get offered the job [please say a little prayer!]

the kids have been doing good. hubby and i wonderful. finally got the house back to normal after the holidays; what a relief! next big event: Con's b-day...he turns 5 in February. think he's going with dinosaurs. he wanted spiderman, but everything is spiderman, so thought it would be refreshing for him to pick something else he likes. its gonna be nice, but not as big and flashy as t-bug's; that was def a lesson learned!

well, off to bed.

and my answer was given

one of my new years resolutions is to get back in church actively and build my relationship with God back to the way it has been in the past. for over a year now, we have been visiting a church here in Maryville, since the church I grew up in, is in Kingston. The pastor is wonderful. As is the members and music.

one of my friends is a member of a non-denominational church, under the pentacostal religion. i know they are known for the awesome music, praise and worship. but i also know that they believe in utterance, or speaking in tounge and laying of hands. she has invited me to go, and knowing how i was raised and what i believe, ive always said no. i did finally promise a visit, still very leary but with a very uneasy feelings, kind of like this is not what i am supposed to be doing. we haven't been to our church in several weeks, and on our way to the movies today with the kiddos, our pastor called. i feel that was my answer on where i need to be and not going and being apart of something that i have not felt called to do.

i do believe that there are all types of religions, and as long as you believe and are saved, its your choice where and how you worship. but i do know how i was raised and how God has blessed my life, and I don't need to leave what I know. im thankful that i now know what i want to do and where i belong.
