God has something for me...

I have been wanting to go the Woman of Faith Conference so much. I've heard a lot about it on the radio. I had thought about going, but then decided that I really shouldn't spend that much money right now. Well, Jessica called today saying that she had a FREE ticket! I was so excited! I just feel like God really has something special to teach me this weekend. I haven't been feeling on fire lately. Maybe this is just what I need. Maybe I just need some time just for God...to hear what He has for me...to just reconnect with Him and let Him totally consume my life again. I know you don't need a conference to do that, but I just can't help feeling that He is going to move in my life so much through this. I'm excited!!!

A.J. leaves for Wisconsin on Monday. He'll be gone until the 24th of August. I'm gonna miss him, but at least it's not time for him to leave for Iraq yet! So I'm not too sad about it. It's coming up fast, though. He leaves November 7th. That's only a little over 3 months away...and one of those months he'll be gone. It's wierd. We found out about this about 8 months ago, and then it didn't seem like it would ever really get here. Now it seems like it's coming too fast! I don't really like to talk about it too much because I don't want people thinking that I am feeling sorry for myself. I'm not. I know the year will go fast, and before I know it he'll be back home! I guess I am just thinking about it more and more because it's almost time for him to leave.

Anyway...Elijah likes tennis. I think he's going to win Wimbledon some day. Okay, so he hasn't even held a raquet, BUT he's a great ball boy! He always runs after the balls and brings them to us when A.J. and I are playing. It's cute. Well, pretty much EVERYTHING he does is cute to me lately. I love him. I'm really glad that A.J. and I had him!

Well, I know this isn't the most exciting first post, but still...at least it's something!

I hope that you have a blast at WOF! I went two years ago and it was amazing, the speakers are wonderful! Like you, we really don't have the money right now, it's great that you were able to get a free ticket!

Omg, you have a Blogger blog!! Yay! Of COURSE I'll take pics of your family. I think you take awesome shots, too, but obviously you can't take them and be IN them, so I'd be happy to help you! :)
Have fun at the conference, I bet it'll be so awesome!
