So I heard the other day that NASA is spending close to 80 million dollars to basically bomb the moon in search of water….my question is who is the guy that approved that budget? “I’m sorry we can’t afford to cloth the homeless, or fix our schools, or research a cure for cancer, or provide a clean water supply for an African city, because we have to bomb the moon!” Good grief!
Well Danny and I are still living with Rachel...no changes there! I can't speak for Danny, but I don't feel quite as suffocated in this small bedroom as I did. I guess I am just getting used to it and, since our situation doesn't look to change anytime soon, I am determined to be content. We have been through quite a lot financially this year, but it has only strengthened our faith in God through all of this and our trust in him grows with every decision we have had to make. And I think he will use our story to help others who may be facing the same things. I have been blessed to share part of our story on local television shows twice already, and God gets all the glory for that.Speaking of television, our church, Faith Assembly, now has their own tv station, WLCN HD. We went live on June 12th. Dad has been working at the station and he absolutely loves it! Mom does some of the camera work on Sundays and she helps with scheduling the volunteers. WLCN has local news shows, classic television shows, and other original local programming like Ask A Pastor and Faith and Finance. I volunteer on Tuesday nights to run the teleprompter for the evening local news show, Port City Live. WLCN is currently only available on knology and Home cable channels, but anyone can watch WLCN streaming live on http://www.wlcntv.com/
Danny and I celebrated our 3-year wedding anniversary on September 23rd. We enjoyed a nice dinner at a restaurant called Farringdon's in Summerville. I absolutely love being married and I love my husband so much!Can I just take a moment to say how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband! But, honestly it’s not luck. We work hard at our marriage and we make a choice everyday to love each other no matter what. That’s right, I said we choose. Some people are under the illusion that love is this fantastic feeling that gives you butterflies in your stomach and hearts in your eyes, and when that feeling fades you are no longer in love and it’s time to move on. They couldn’t be more wrong. While it is true that loving someone can make you feel fantastic and can be a wonderful high, Love itself is not the feeling….love is the choice. I find it so frustrating to hear of people who choose to throw away their marriage vows because they aren’t “in love” anymore. The true fact is they stopped choosing each other, but instead became selfish and chose themselves.
Last Friday night Rachel, mom, dad, and I all volunteered at the Sanctus Real/Addison Road concert that was held at the Collision Concert Center at our church. It was so much fun! Granted I think the music was a little loud...the sound was almost distorted because it was so loud, but it was a great experience to be able to volunteer my time, because we wouldn't have been able to host this concert or others to come without many volunteers.
On a finally note, here is a hilarious picture Danny took at the zoo last month.
