I have had a VERY full week.

-
My freelance is kicking into high gear again, and once again, I am amazed that I can continue to work full time and keep up appearances on the other front. But I am truly blessed, and even in these busy times, it's then that I feel it in my heart.

Our show @ Dreamstreet went very well, some pics (courtesy Kristin, John's beautiful girl) are attached to this post. It was def. the most fun I've had on stage to date, but we did get a Live recording from the club and listening back to it, there are things to improve upon (If I'm being hard and professional with myself) Overall, a very good time.

We ventured out house hunting again with our "Realtor Joe" (that' what he has on his license plate). He's a younger guy (for a realtor, our age) but pretty sharp and literally emails or calls us almost every day with properties to consider or drive to to look at. We're begining to get a really good idea of what we like and don't like, but nothing really has jumped out yet. Jay i think is already sold on a condo in North Oceanside, but i am not quite there yet. I keep holding out for a house ... I know it's not impossible, but still, trying to keep in mind where God wants us to be.

One thing that has entered my mind the last while (while house hunting) is that our little church we've been attending is planting a church in North O. Both Jay and I have thought about going with the plant and doing worship, and it's come up that we could actually DO the worship there (as in, head the worship ministry of the church) if that is in our heart. It's a really big decision for me, because, from experience, I know what an amazing, beautiful and spiritually committing descision it really is. I am going to pray about it, and if you pray, you could too. In my heart, secretly, i am sooooo excited about the possibility, and the way that serving in that capacity can bring your heart closer to the Father. But I don't want to do it because I want to, but rather, because God has appointed me there, maybe He has? Only time will tell us.

Anways, that's what's on my heart at present, I leave you with the photos from Dreamstreet ... =)
Till next blog! love, a.

I love what you said about being excited to serve in a worship capacity but only wanting to do it because it's what God has appointed you to do. That's such a great reminder for every decision we make that we want to honor and serve the Father with. Thanks, and good luck!

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
