I'm Back!

So I am back after taking a summer hiatus. Sometimes I have no clue what to put or write on this blog since I have this blog too. I don't want to repeat stories or ideas, so I get stumped easily. But I am back and I promise I will keep this one up too. Sometimes I might just have you click over to my blog and read what I wrote there, or I might have my readers click over her and see what I put on this blog. Who knows!

Here is a little update...
*Our Neighborhood Groups kick off next week-please pray for our leaders and we are adding new groups
*The Student Ministry kicks off this week-please pray for our leaders and the students
*Please pray for Mark and Eric-they are tag team preaching and bringing some serious stuff to The Ridge
*The Ridge is starting a 3 week series called "RelationSlips" and we are supposed to be praying for 3 people to bring with us

Church is going great, I am not going to lie! I feel God present there every week, and I feel so humbled to be a part of it. God could have sent us any where, but he chose The Ridge, and I thank him everyday for it!

I am one book away from completing all of my schooling! I am officially finished with my Master's degree, so now I am finishing up my licensing course. I have one more book to read, do a report and then I should hopefully be finished!

Molly is doing fabulous! She turned 2 on August 8, and man, time flies! She is so cute, and lovable. Right now some of her favorite things are the Backyardigans, music, playing instruments, dancing, reading books, and eating waffles, or as she calls them-awfuls.

Eric still loves his job, and he's pretty good at it! In August he did a 3 week sermon series called "Plugged In." He talked about who and what we listen to, will influence what we do. You can listen to it here. Eric is preaching on average once a month, sometimes more. He has done a phenomenal job training all the Neighborhood Group leaders, and his Community Team leaders.

We are currently looking a student minister, because it has gotten to the point where one person needs to do it, and only do that one thing. Eric has been stretched very thin, so we have been searching and praying that we can fill this position.

In other news, we decided not to buy a house this year. It was very difficult for us to make this decision, but we felt God closing all the doors to buying a house. It is not that we didn't try, man we tried, just nothing worked out! So for now we are staying in our apartment, and it really is fine. I like it here, it's safe, our rent is staying the same, and I love our neighbors. So I guess God is not finished with us here in Muskego.

Other then that, we are just living life, one day at a time, and trying to soak up all of our blessings! I honestly feel so blessed to be here, and thank you all for supporting us, financially and with your prayers. This a journey that we all have taken together, and I am so glad you are with us!
