"If Jesus fully emptied Himself for you, What's keeping you from emptying yourself for others?"

-Jefferson Bethke

Nailed it.

Nailed it. Minus number 11. Halloween just isn't my favorite holiday. It's too stressful for me. too much pressure. ha ha. Although I am pretty stoked about Murdock's costume. Hopefully I can pull it off. Again, there is just so much pressure. But if I actually do make this happen, he is going to be the coolest. Fingers crossed that he is feeling up to par by Halloween.

Also, lets hope that this crazy heat goes away! I mean, come on. I thought Summer left already. We had a good couple of days that were just perfect! Then Summer 2.0 comes around and ruined it. I don't know if you are aware of this Summer but, Alaska would absolutely LOVE a visit from you...Just sayin...

There is just so much to catch you guys up on. But, I am going to keep it short. I promise. Maybe I will give you an extended update later.

As always, I've been avoiding my dates with Jesus. I know, how could I? I have no idea. I am still trying to figure it out. It is all I have been thinking about! There is just this frightening feeling I get at the thought of being completely vulnerable with Him. Makes no sense, I know. Anywho, I have been justifying my not having a date with Jesus by using the good 'ol, "Well, I don't really have privacy in my home right now, there just isn't a place I can be when I breakdown" excuse. well, last week I found a great place I can go to and have quite time and maybe some dates with Jesus. I would tell you where...but um, I am going to be a little selfish with this one. ha ha. sorry.  You know what would be totally awesome?! If y'all could be praying that I can actually find the time and strength to visit this spot of mine. And be able to have some good, quality personal time with Jesus. Autumn is the perfect time of year to have nice & cozy dates with Jesus. Ya know since I wont be having any dates with a guy anytime soon. Having a date with Jesus is way more awesome then any date I would have with some random guy.

On that note,
