So we are heading off to Mississippi today...so I can go wedding dress shopping with my sister. She got engaged to a great guy in February and are getting married in May! Can we say busy few months! I am really looking forward to the wedding...it is going to be beautiful...I am excited to hear Jon sing Matthew West's new wedding song for the ceremony...I have been listening to him practice and it is going to be amazing...I am giving a speech...and feel a wee bit of pressure! It has been a while...At least at Karen's wedding I had no advance warning so I had to fly by the seat of my pants...now I have months to think and prepare and hope I don't embarass the bride or myself too much in the process!
God is and has been very good to us as far as the layoff goes. While Jon has not really come any closer to having another job, God has been providing for us. Our Church is going to pay our bills for the next month so we don't get even FURTHER into debt than we already are from the previous layoff..and well, so we can at least eat and stuff! And a Music Minister friend of ours employed Jon for a few days to help on house repairs. I am just thankful that God is showing Himself in a time when my heart is fragile. The Bible says God will never give us more than we can handle...and for a while I was starting to wonder if God was over estimating me...
On another random note Jon found one of my old prayer journals last night and spent some time reading through it. I kinda panicked! No one has ever seen into my private walk with God or my heart like that before. Apparently I used to have some good things to say...He encouraged me to read back through it so that I could see where God was at work...I think that could be a very interesting journey. I started keeping prayer journals in college and don't think I have read back through any of them before...Now might be a good time for a walk down memory lane. It has been 12 years since I became a Christian and so much has happend in that time period. Some I am sure I will be pretty embarrassed about...like old crushes and silly trials...and some hopefully some what mature. I guess we will see...
White gowns and sparkley things here I come!

I just happened across your blog and I'm so glad I did. I know I struggle sometimes to stay true and faithful and trusting in God. Here lately I've grown closer and I'm trying so hard to make myself have a sit down time with the Lord daily now. I know I have to make myself since I have a toddler but it's good.
I really miss our old church group. I miss you and Jon being there and Brian and Wendy. A lot has changed. I also have a blog if your interested in viewing. cronanfamily.blogspot. Take care and I'll be in prayer for you all during this time of not having a job.
I know you understand that God is there for you and He will provide in all times. I am just glad your hope seems to be coming back a little bit. No one wnats you to be that hopeless... especially God! So, keep your head high--and maybe this wedding will keep you on a more positive note. Congrats to Jennifer! I know she has waited a long time to be happy--she deserves it!! (And, you do too.. hint, hint!)
I just came across youe blog! I love it! You have some very inspriational things to say! I know your sister's wedding will be beautiful! Best wishes!
