Friday!

Well, it has been a week already. I am sitting in my office just being very thankful for the very life that God has given me. I have wonderful students and a fantastic job. I think tonight will be a night to go out and see a movie. Have not done that in awhile. Can we say steak for dinner? Normally, on Friday's I am exhausted, but today I'm feeling pretty good.

Service, Service, Service is what I am doing with the kids right now. We were going to Rainbow Omega tomorrow but It was cancelled. I have a free Saturday, which is rare. I will catch up on some sleep, and spend some time with my nephews.

I just got a great idea. I will go and pick up my nephews for a boys weekend. You know the kind which includes video games, eating out, and sporting event. I think that is what I will do. Thank you for joining me in my thinking out loud moment. Have a bless weekend!

Life is pretty good!

I am about over my cold I think. I only cough once today so far.

Leadership camp went very well. I want to do it again before the summer is out. I love talking and guiding people thru leadership experiences.

I have made an offer on a house. Hopefully, I will hear something back really soon. It is a condo not very far from where I live right now. I just want to close before I go to uplift would be great. We will see.

12:11 is ok for now. We are starting out really slow on one hand and really fast on the other. I look at this service as a church plant. Many of the members right now come from East Cobb. We have had visitors, but it is early. I will be away from this service for about 3 weeks. Jay Collins a good friend of mine will be leading. He does such a great job! He needs to be leading worship somewhere I believe. I am glad he will fill in for me.

Short Vacation this week! I will leave to go somewhere after Sunday morning services to return on Wednesday hopefully in time for church. Now that I am buying a house, vacations will be short this summer. I will take them of course, but they will be short.

My niece graduated last night. Ashley Nicole Stewart is my niece who graduated from Forest Park High School. I am soooo proud of her. She has done an incredible job in school and also in life. My prayer is that she will have continue success in college as well. The whole family was there to witness. I continue to tell my nephews and nieces that they will break the cycle in our family by graduating and going to college. I am so proud!

That's all for now!

Good Day!

Well, today was a good day! I apologized to my 4th period class( we did not end the week well). The day went by pretty fast. I could not wait for my 4 mile walk today. The weekend I took off and ate too much. I feel really good right now. I used a treadmill at the apartment complex I live in. I got to watch me some "House" tonight. I will walk in the morning at 6am for an hour. I will problably workout tomorrow night at the complex. I know, I know, I am going crazy on the walking. I feel good. I like the treadmill a little better because it tells you how many calories you are burning. I am even getting a little domesticated tonight- I am washing clothes and folding them when I get them out of the dryer. This is big folks!

Conflict with Adults- Unresolved for now.

12:11 was GREAT! It was so refreshing for me. I forgot I was in church. I got lost in the praise. It was good. We had 63 our first sunday. Here in Atlanta it was pouring down rain. It was a good crowd with lots of energy. We did have I believe 2 families from the community. We had lots of children. I even had them singing by themselves. You know when I say "just the ladies" well, it was just the children. Again, I got lost in the praise. Planning for next week is complete. I am working on the mother's day service. We will see how that comes out. Thanks for dropping by....

Weekend!!!!

16 miles of walking this week. I am looking forward to the weekend because it is my timeoff of walking. I have enjoyed it so far. I am buying an ipod this weekend to keep it up whether I have someone to walk with or not. I am very motivated! Wow!

Adult Conflict? I don't really like dealing with Adults. I like to resolve issues quickly and early if at all possible. Pray that all conflicts will be resolve in due time.

Tomorrow will be the 1st sleep in day in quite a while. I wonder what time will I get up tomorrow. This week, I have had two early morning walks. I am ready for a true sabbath!

12:11 Service- a new service offered at East Cobb. I am excited about what God will do with this service. This sunday will be a very busy day with 2 services and our Timothy boys service and fellowship at night. I like to encourage the boys like people did me when I was their age. More about 12:11 after sunday.

Vacation ideas? I plan on using two almost complete weeks this summer. 1 being the 1st of June and the second one the 3rd week in July. Any ideas? I know I need to include Florida since I am sooo close. I am thinking about going to an island. I have not done that in a while. We will see!
