My Role Model, My Best Friend





My sister is my best friend. It’s true. She’s the first one I want to share exciting news with, complain to, and spend my free time with.  She always knows what to say to me  in almost every situation ...even those times when I really don’t want to hear what she is about to say...


I view her as one of my biggest role models and I feel so blessed that she is the sister God chose for me.

She is the proud parent of three amazing children. And while she’s made it look pretty easy at times, I know it hasn’t been. Now, her oldest kid is in college, the middle in the pre-teen stages, and the youngest just a year younger than Megan. I have seen that parenting has been hard for her at times. The burdens of being a wife and a mother and the responsibilities that go along with them are hard, and there are days when I know she feels discouraged.

On those days, I want to tell her how thankful I am that she has gone first. She’s always done things ahead of me and I know it hasn’t been easy. I want to tell her to keep going because I still need her to be the woman I look up to, who I admire – just as I always have. I continue to love that she knows how to do things that I don’t, or that I haven’t yet. I’m looking for her to guide the way because she is my sister. She is still my role model.


 
 
Love my sister so much!

MISSIONFX

I know it's been a while... I'm way behind in the things I wanted to post on the blog so I definitely have some catching up to do.

We've been super busy lately. Fall is just a busy time of year for us! I also just started my last class before student teaching and with all the drama that I've had to deal with lately I've pretty much been consumed with Mount Olive stuff lately.

However, last Friday our church (Journey Church) held MISSIONFX.  It was amazing. The theme of the night was superheroes and they invited anyone and everyone in the community and just poured out the love of Jesus onto them. EVERYTHING was free. It was seriously like a mini state fair!  We had a BLAST and so did everyone else who came! I sure am glad to be party of a church who continues to strive to make Jesus famous in our city, nation, and world!

Here are a few pictures...

 

 









In the 10 years that we have lived in Wake Forest, we really had a hard time finding a church to call home. Nothing really clicked for our family. Until we found Journey... now I really feel like we are where God wants us to be... well at least for now :)
