MOTHER'S PRIDE!!!
Well, my son's baseball team WON the CIF Division II championship game! 7-0 What an amazing ride it was. they got to play that game at Dodger Stadium. What a dream come true for the boys. it was the first CIF Baseball Win for El Toro High school.
I couldn't help but be so proud of Trevor out there playing and the accomplishment of getting this far. He and his team worked hard this season.... and it payed off.
well, and those of you that know Russ.... You think Trevor and I are beaming, you should see him!! all he can say is ... THAT'S MY BOY!
I am soaking these moments and memories up because soon enough Trevor will be headed off to college somewhere. I choose close to home but I think it may be wherever he can play baseball....

Breathe it all in...
I started a new study called "One Month to Live" Our first question was what would you do if you had one month to live? Sitting and thinking about that I realize that I would be more INTENTIONAL... say the things I may be too afraid to say or express..... Even more intentional with my time... spending it with people I love. taking time to love my children and let them know that I love them.... At 20 & 17 it is easier said than done. sometimes I think they don't want to spend time with me the next thing I know I am having dinner with my son and his girlfriend.... OKAY, I want to say he wanted to spend time with me BUT yes, I think it was because I was buying! It was still time special time together...

TIME TO LISTEN...
Well, I have been at my new job for a week now and it is amazing. My job is full of many things and is keeping me quite busy, but I love it. I have been going to bed early, which I usually do not do, but I was thinking I should share a thought, especially because my friend Kimmie is asking me to share!
All I have to say is I am so glad that I listened to God. God has been so gracious and his grace and mercy are amazing. You know the scripture he gave me 9 years ago when it was time to find a job was Isaiah 30:21. Now another 9 years have gone by and HE reminds me of the same scripture. It speaks for itself. All I have to say is....AMEN!
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Isaiah 30:21

Exactly Where God Wants Me ...
After 6 years at my job, today I packed up my belongings and I didn't cry....OKAY now people that know me are stunned and amazed right now because I usually cry at the drop of a hat. But to me it is just another confirmation that I am in God's will and doing what He wants me to do. Oh, I love that feeling. It is indescribable. There are some special people that I will miss.
I do have a week left and I am sure when I turn my keys in and walk away I will have tears.
You know I left the first church I was going to after 9 years and now it has been 9 years that I have been at MHC and I am leaving. What's that all about?
I HAVE A QUESTION ~ Why does leaving cause such awkwardness in some conversations?

NEVER SAY NEVER.....
Well, today was a BIG day for me, I resigned from my job of 5 1/2 years. I thought God was going to take me out a LONG time ago and it didn't happen. All the doors kept closing and unfortunately I have to work so I stayed and tried to be obedient to what I believe God wanted for me. Hard especially seeing the people I love and respect leave....UGH...what a yucky feeling.
Anyway, today is a new chapter in my family's life. I have been grinning from ear to ear all day and I feel like a giddy kid, I can't even explain how I feel, it really is surreal. After being on a few interviews that really didn't go well, I interviewed for a position with at Coast Hills Church. The peace I felt from the very beginning of the 4 part interview process was amazing... not really amazing, just GOD at work. but I am in awe, I forgot what the truly feels like and oh I want to keep feeling that! I am so excited for what lies ahead of me.
...and I said I would never work for a church again.....Never say NEVER especially to God!
