Long time no Blog

2008-11-21T21:51:00.000-08:00

Sorry I havent updated this is a while, its been a long semester. I have been switching medications and fighting some pretty bad side effects, and some intense depression and feelings of spritual darkness. Im on a new medicine now and I feel tons better, praise be to Jesus for leading me to a doctor who understood me and what medicine I needed. It was such a blessing, I saw a doctor for a reduced price (no insurance) and she gave me samples of the medication and told me to come back anytime for more, free of charge. I was absolutely amazed when she said it, it was such a blessing!!! This semester has been one of lots of nightmares, panic attacks, depression, headaches, nausea, and all around malaise...but with prayer, and support from my wonderful husband and family and our church body things have come so far. I definitely have not won the battle over my depression, and it is still a daily fight but Christ has taught me so much through all of this! I have been officially diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. It is not easy but I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband by my side every step of the way supporting me. I am hopefully going to get back into the habit of blogging and keeping everyone updated!! Its late now!

2008-07-18T10:26:00.004-07:00

I didnt get to go to Honduras this year but my friend sent me a picture of my two little friends. This is Fernando and Junior (cousins). I love these kids so much! I would seriously adopt them if I could. They are so special to me, Fernando has diabetes so he has to constantly be getting insulin from medical missionairys, im so thankful they found out about him. Junior is the sweetest little boy you will ever meet and he tells the cutest stories about his life. I miss these kids!!!!!

We have been going to the driving range a lot lately, Michaels grandmother bought us a set of golf clubs! Its fun and we are slowly getting better...Im having to learn with my right hand though since we only have one set of clubs. Soon we are gonna go play an actual round of golf when I have enough time off from school and studying! We have been waching the U.S. open the past few days, I think its the prettiest course I have ever seen. look!

AHH! we are married now! and back from our honeymoon which was so much fun!!!! We are both really sun burnt and peeling now...our 30 spf was not good enough for the Bahamas. Our wedding was amazing, im pretty sure it was the best one i have ever been to at least....:) Everything went great and our family and friends were amazing. It was so good to see everyone and be surrounded by people we love and who love us. I can never thank our parents enough for all the did or for that matter our bridal party who was amazing as well. I will put up the professional pics as soon as I get them (which should be sometime this weekend). I started school the day we got back and I am already behind on reading!!! Nursing school is very challenging but I love it. As soon as we get more pics and I have a moment to spare from the textbooks and wedding cleanup excitement you will see them!

Inspiring

My friend Amy showed me this, I really like it especially right now when Michael and I have been talking about missions and having a global vision for Christ.

The line "now that I have seen, I am responsible," is very convicting.

Recommended Sermon

2008-05-17T09:06:00.001-07:00

As Malorie and I are beginning this journey together, we have many goals. We really want to plug into the local body of believers, contribute to global missions, read great books, glorify God in nature, etc. . . However, we know all of these things needed to be rooted in lives devoted to prayer. This summer our main goal is to become a husband and wife that pray individually and together everyday, all day. This sermon was a great encouragement and guideline.

Things we are really excited about happening soon!!

2008-05-15T12:43:00.004-07:00

After my sisters graduation this weekend we are going to go see the second Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. It is supposed to be even better than the first! Then in eight days we are going to DISNEY WORLD!!!!! We are so excited we have been looking at the guidebooks for months now :)

2008-05-15T12:43:00.003-07:00

This is us after my bridal shower in Lake Jackson playing with my neighbors puppies. They are so cute! There were four labs all out playing together, very fun. We have gotten so many gifts for our wedding the apartment keeps getting smaller and smaller, especially as we are moving all of michaels stuff in also. We had a pretty slow week and I think we both have cabin fever from being in here everyday moving and putting stuff away. It will be good to get out next week to start wedding activities and then go on our honeymoon!!!

New Blog
