I am so blessed! God has really been convicting me on letting Him be in control of my life. So, I have been working on letting go, I do better at some points then others, but I am getting there :)
So the last couple of days have been just great! I had a wonderful weekend at home with Mom and Tony. It started off really good after work on Friday. Then Saturday and Sunday was great as well. On Saturday I tried to make sugar cookies for the first time from scratch, they were really good, but missing something. It was fun just to bake and try some new things. On Sunday evening after church we had a fun night, eating a fun dinner, and then having the fire place on...It feels just like Christmas :)
Then last night Mom had a great surprise in store for us. We went into to DC and got a BIG piece of pizza at Jumbo Pizza, and we also went to Georgetown Cupcakes and got a cupcake. Oh my! I had so much fun!! The best part was experiencing it all with everyone. It is really something that I will never forget. I can't wait until next Monday night when we go ice skating...that has become a tradition in our family :)

Christmas Time Is Here...
Wow! It is Christmas time again, and I can't believe it! I feel like this year just started and I can't believe that it is almost over. Alt has happened in this last year. God has done so much with me...I am starting to see and feel myself being stretched for him.
Today in my devotions I was reading the last of 1 Chronicles and some of Romans and Psalm 5. The thing that struck me was that God prepares the way and gives me a clear outline to obey Him and what will come of it. David said it perfectly to Solomon, "...and do it." All I have to do is do it!! Paul was talking about how sin came into the world and how God gave us salvation. With salvation, I have the power to break away from my sin...what a thought. I knew that salvation gave me the relationship with God that I needed, but I never really thought about the victory that I can have from sin. Sin doesn't have its hold on me..only what I give it.
The year I have been really trying to grow in my relationship with God, my husband, and others. I want to make sure that the people I have in my life are Christ honoring. The LORD has blessed Tony and I with 4 years of marriage, and some great family and friends. God has always provided when we needed Him to. I pray that this next year shows more fruit of growth, and that God will keep working on me.
