There are a lot of changes that have been happening in my life, so it's time for an update.

I will be completely moved into my parents house today. To be honest, I feel sort of ghetto for living with my parents when I am 27 years old, but I need to so I can get out of debt. With this, I should be completely out of debt in 7 months or so. It all depends on my taxes. Wahoo! Hopefully then, I can start saving money so I can have a decent cushion for when I move down to Mexico.

My parents are so much more spiritually healthy than I could have ever dreamed. I went with my mom to their church (Trinity Alive - an AG church in Scottsdale) last night, and I saw my mom volunteer to be an usher... That is not anything that I would ever expect from her. It was hard for her, she said she felt stupid, but yet she did it anyway. She is reading her bible and praying daily now. She used to say she never had time to read. My dad is actually listening to KLove, is wanting to go to Christian concerts, is making sure he can go to church on Sundays, lifting his hands in worship, and is making friendships. Now, this may seem like a normal Christian to people, but this is my dad... Just last year he was a Easter/Christmas Christian that didn't read his bible or listen to Christian music. He would get frustrated and make excuses all the time...

My sister's marriage is not so good right now. Her and Chris are currently separated. Please pray for them if you remember to.

God is good.

Oh, and I keep hearing that song "The face of love", and I love it so much. It makes me think about my facial expressions and body language... There are so many times where I see pictures of myself when I'm at CdE and I don't think they seem so loving... (you didn't think I could possibly do a whole post without mentioning them did you.) All in all, it's definitely something that is worth being more conscious of.

Praise the Lord for the changes He has made in your parents hearts and lives.

I will be praying for Sarah and her husband.

Awesome about your parents man! Sorry to hear about your sister and her husband though. Will definitely pray for them. Patty and I had our share of problems, but God got us through them and we will celebrate 20 years this August.

I still need to get with you about that Amadeo Youth trip to CDE. We met last night and we're thinking April. I will bring my schedule with me Sunday and we can set up a date for the trip so I can inform parents of the youth and plan it ahead of time.

Were you thinking a quick trip? Or will it be a Friday night thru Sunday trip? Whatever works best is cool with me. And can you give me an idea what we will be doing to serve the kids? Thanks for all you do for them.
