There are times when I remember exactly why I am married to the man I am married to. Times like the present when my faith is small or rather non-existent...he is able to sit back and relax and laugh at life because his faith is SO strong. Jon grounds me...and at times there is a part of me that wants to smack him because he won't worry with me...then I am gently reminded by the Lord that Jon is doing exactly what God has told him to. To have faith, and faith like a child that God will ALWAYS take care of us.

Lately my lack of faith has allowed me to worry and be stressed...not such a great Christian life I must say...Worry has been sucking the joy right out of my life...Someone once told me that worrying is like a rocking chair...keeps you busy for hours but gets you no where.

I have decided I am going to work on just trusting God more for our finances. More like God told me I need to work on trusting Him more via my sister. There is nothing more jarring then to have someone give you back your own Christian advice that you are not following...which my sister did to me yesterday...

So, other than the smack down from God about my faith I am busy reading books for next semester and working. Right now I am studying the trinity...and I am not sure I understand it any more now than I did half a book ago...but hopefully by the time I am done with all of my reading God will have increased my understanding...

Whew! School is finally out for summer! I am not quite recovered from finals week yet but I am getting there. It is so strange to not have a gazillion things to do all the time...I think I will start running again now that I have time and don't need to be sitting with my head in a ton of books!

This past weekend another set of Kidds came to town to visit. We got to visit with our little niece Joanna for the first time in months and be with her on her first trip to the zoo. Joanna is such a good baby and we love to spend time with her and her parents.

Joanna and our kitty go head to head....Joanna won as our kitty is a sissy apparently and little people freak him out...
Me and Joanna after I had learned how to make her smile :)
Jon was awesome at making her smile :) He is going to be a great daddy!
Joanna looking at the bats with Jon...she looks excited!

Having people come visit makes me even more excited to find a house. It is hard to have people come in town when we only have a one bedroom apartment!
