In the blank pages at the front and back of my Bible, I write down especially poignant statements and thoughts that I come across during Bible studies, sermons, etc.
I was re-reading a few the other day and remembered why I write them down - it's so refreshing!
I wanted to share a few things with you - hope you enjoy!
"When I give glory to God, I need to understand that I can do nothing to add to God - my giving glory to God is for me and my own good. It does nothing for God other than please Him that I am doing right."
"Thoughts are the parents of emotion."
"My faith should be like a gyroscope: continually moving straight forward and resisting change in direction."

Well...we were looking forward to summer and having some time to relax...oops! We've had some very full weekends and today starts another one!
Today we are driving to Wallis to go to
MK's graduation party....then home.
Then tomorrow we are going to Dawson with
Joel to get to know everyone better. Then from there we are going the rest of the way up to Fort Worth to pick up a washer and dryer for our new apartment that is
finally finished being settled into! Now to get the washer and dryer in and start being able to do laundry at home!
We have had some down-time and had a fun evening last night - we bought a HUGE bean bag chair for Josh's "man room" and then spent some time at the mall wandering around. :)
Hope everyone is enjoying summer so far and getting some time to relax!
If you're in CS on a Tuesday evening you should come watch the "Benchletes" play softball this summer!
Love you all,
ellen

I've been putting off posting for a long time but figured it was time to say hello to the world again.
In recent news:
-Josh and I have been married for just over 10 months now :)
-I recently got my Aggie Ring - WHOOP! - which I dunked in 36 oz of vanilla coke....yum!
-My
Wonderful Husband and my
Fantastic Momma surprised me by flying Momma down for Ring Day!**
-An old friend and I have reconnected recently....hopefully with some more time together to come soon
-And....We found a new apartment in Bryan so we'll be working on moving before too long
I suppose that is what has been going on lately.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful spring and enjoying all this lovely weather!
In Christ,
Ellen
