what I've been learning

We have started this bible study for the contrast group at our church and it has been so awsome. So I just thought I would put a plug in for this website. www.threadsmedia.com This is a great resource for young adult ministry. They have media playlists that have gone along with the study as well as pod-casts. The one we have been doing is called intransit. It is about what to do with your times of waiting in your life. It has been so encouraging for us right now. God always makes me laugh how He wants to teach me something and I guess I keep on missing it so He makes Adam and I teach it. That way He knows that I will hear. He is so awesome like that!!! I just thought I would share the resource!

What a crazy summer! God has really been showing me lately, well always, that so much depends on my perspective and what I choose to focus on. I have this picture up in my office to help me remember what God (and Adam) constantly remind me. I can either see the glass as half full or half empty. I can just see life's difficulties and start to feel sorry for myself at which point I become self absorbed. My other option is to see God's blessing in my life and continue to focus on them. We had the opportunity over our break to hang out with our friends alot. It was such a blessing! I am so greatful to God that He has given us so many awesome people to lean on in this challenging time in our lives. I am so thankful for this blessing at this time in our life!! =)
