As many of you know I have been going to the Beth Moore "Breaking Free" bible study on Tuesday nights. I have to leave straight from work to get there and then don't even get home until after 9:00. I sit in about and hour of traffic and usually get kinda nervous about the women running in to get good seats.
Anyway, you would think "what could be worth all that hassle?" However, it is SOOO worth the hassle plus some. This study is so enlightening and thought provoking. It is all about breaking free from the bondage we and satan have put on ourselves. This week was simply defining "Bondage" as anything that keeps us from being free in our relationship with God and in our own lives. I mean I never knew I had so much STUFF going on with me. I am an absolute mess but am so happy that I am a person set free from all the junk the world puts on us and all the lies satan feeds me daily.
The goal of the study to to leave a FREE person with nothing keeping you from receiving the full glory of God and it's benefits in your life. I know I am held captive by a number of things. I am so delusional about myself sometimes it is scary. However, I am absolutely ecstatic about what is going to change in my life as this study progresses.
I REALLY ENCOURAGE ANY HOUSTON PEOPLE TO COME TO THIS STUDY! IT IS AT 6:30 EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT AT 1st BAPTIST. IT IS ONLY 2 WEEKS IN SO YOU ARE NOT TOO LATE!

Dog Dilemma
I need some feedback about a puppy. Lance & I don't have a dog right now because we live in a tiny apartment. However, I am hoping we get one when we move to Abilene! I think I want a Goldendoodle but have never talked to anyone who has one. Does anyone know about those dogs? (its 1/2 poodle 1/2 golden retriever) If so please tell me, or let me know any other good NON shedding dogs!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Back to work work work!
So tomorrow is my first day back to work in what seems like FOREVER! I have been off work since Dec. 20th and kinda forgot I have a job. Tomorrow it is back to teaching 5 year olds!! Well its just an inservice but still. I am kind of excited though! I have a new co-worker that seems amazing and I can't wait to see my kids again.
Also, please be praying for my acceptance into the graduate program at ACU. For those of you who don't know, I am applying to the Speech Pathology graduate school. It is getting close to time to hear and although I am not too worried you never know & I would really appreciate prayer. I have all my eggs in one basket and am just trusting that God will take care of everything. However, it is hard to not think about the "what if's"!
Thanks in advance for the prayers!
