I will hold nothing back

Worship is not just the songs I sing; it is my lifestyle. It will be passionate. It will be driven. It will demand an explanation. I will be open; I will be vulnerable. I will stay broken and humble at the feet of Jesus. I will live with such intensity that I must continually seek God's presence so I don't burn out. I will seek God first in everything. I will be filled so I can pour myself out over and over. I will desire nothing but to sit at the feet of Jesus and cry, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come." I will live for the glory of my Savior.

Up and runnin'

I finally have my computer almost back to full use. That being said, here's an update of our lives.
We went to the Cities last weekend and had an absolutely fabulous time! We had lunch with some very dear friends of ours, which, in my opinion, was definitely the highlight of the trip! We hadn't seen them in over a year, so it was great to hang out with them, and see their beautiful little girls. Thanks, Audra and JP, for a wonderful time!



Later Saturday afternoon we went back to the hotel, and my aunt and a couple of cousins came over. We had a good time talking while the kids swam in the pool. It was really fun to watch my cousin's little boy play with the "big" kids in the pool!
That night we were able to go to Maranatha, which was another huge hit. :-) I absolutely love being a part of that church, and as always I can't wait to go back.
Sunday afternoon my uncle came over for lunch, and we had a great time talking--and playing with our cousins, of course!

I got through the first week of school pretty well. I ran into a couple of friends, one of whom was homeschooled and is a Nursing major. That has been really good, 'cause we've been able to hang out a bit and go to class together. I also met someone that is in three of my classes--and she's hoping to be a Nursing major, too. A couple of my classes are pretty big--well, not big compared to most schools, but big for NDSU, and big in comparison to two of my other classes, which each have around 20 kids. Two of my classes have nearly 400 students, and one I would guess has at least 200.

In other big news . . . drumroll, please . . . HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL IS BACK!!! I absolutely love HS football--WAY more than pro, and probably more than college. Even bigger news . . . Carl is starting Varsity as a sophmore! He starts on kick-return, onside kick-off and onside kick-return (I think that's right). He also subs in a lot on defensive line for a couple of the seniors (one of the reasons that he doesn't start is that if he did he couldn't play JV). He got a lot of playing time last night, which he loved and we loved watching. And we won, by the way 7-0. Anyhow, here are some pictures. Carl's number 60. Oh, and we're the white jerseys.
