Writings….Writings…..

Does anyone remember “Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey?” It used to be on Saturday Night Live a long time ago. Well, to me, it is very, very entertaining! Well, just so you can familiarize yourself with his type of humor, here are a few samples: 

WARNING: You will either find these HILARIOUS or you will probably not get them and think they are completely stupid. This simply means your humor is a little different than mine. Everyone is entitled to their own sense of humor. : )

“Playing dead not only comes in handy when face to face with a bear, but also at important business meetings.” 

“How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol?How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn’t have that dangerous beak.”

“I bet the funniest thing to a shark is a wounded seal trying to swim to shore because…. where does he think he’s going?!”

“Life is sexually transmitted.”

“Dad always said laughter was the best medicine. I guess that explains why most of us died of Typhoid.”

“Somebody told me it was frightening how much topsoil we are losing, but I told it around a campfire and nobody got scared.”

So, if you laughed, great. If not, sorry, I think they are funny. Anyways, this is just sort of a random thing that I use to entertain myself when my own thoughts threaten to take over my sanity. For some reason, my mind just doesn’t ever stop. There is so much excitement and anticipation right now that it is hard for me to sleep. I can’t concentrate on anything without my mind wandering to what will be coming next. 

Well, there you go. Deep thoughts.

Ok, so it has been a long time since I have last posted. I have a good excuse I swear. I don’t have internet access at home. Ok, that is not the greatest excuse but hey, it’s something. I really have had so much on my mind that if I were to possibly try to blog everything that I have been thinking or doing over the past few weeks, I would never ever be finished. I will instead highlight a few thoughts…..

First, As most of you may know, I no longer work at Destiny Church. I am still around, and you will still see me there on most Sundays (Unless Trav forgets to wake me up on time) God has simply called us to plant a ministry called The Harbor in Pensacola, Fl. God’s plans are always bigger than our own. I am very excited about this new chapter in my life. I feel like this is Chapter 2. 

Second, I have been having an amazing time spending time with Trav for the past couple of weeks. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing man of God as my husband. He is not only the best husband in the world, but I honestly believe that you could search forever and you would NEVER find someone who has as much heart, determination, faithfulness, or love for other people as Trav. He truly is my hero and it is an honor to have him as my husband and best friend.

Last, to borrow Trav’s favorite phrase, God is really blowing my mind. He truly has been blessing us more than we could have ever imagined. Life may not always go as you plan, in fact, life hardly EVER goes as you plan. It is in these times, times of hurt, frustration, and tears, when God loves to show up and show off the most. Thank you Jesus for always having a better plan than I have or any other man could possible have for us. I believe that this is only the beginning for us in this new journey, and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do next!
