It's official...we're bloggers now!!!

Hello friends and family...

Now that Jamey and I are officially married we thought the last thing we should do to truly consecrate our marriage is to....start a blog! So here we are! For those of you who don't know where we're at in life I will catch you up to speed!!

Jamey and I live in Fort Worth, TX in a cute little house that I am growing to love. Pics coming soon! Jamey is still in the band Green River Ordinance and plays lead guitar. The band is doing really well right now. They are signed with Capitol/Virgin Records and are expecting to go to LA at the end of March to record their first major debut album. Right now they spend their time practicing and writing potential songs for the album and flying to LA or Nashville to do co-writes with other musicians!!
I'm working at Christ Chapel Bible Church as the high school/college Missional Director (or a local missions coordinator). The job is a unique one. I get the opportunity to hang out with students and encourage them to live missionally. I also volunteer at TCU with international students which I LOVE to do. (It gives me so much life to love on them) and occasionally Jamey and I work with refugees, homeless, etc. It's a fun job...but not an easy one. When people ask what it's like I usually quote Matt Chandler (when I heard him speaking once about getting people in the church to "push back the darkness in the world") and he described it as difficult as getting people to climb Mt Everest in a speedo. I would agree that both are quite the challenge.

But I love where God has me in my job, in this city, and in my marriage. I can see how He's at work to redeem them all for his glory!!

So this is just a little "starter" but I will keep this up as much as I can. And I'll let Jamey give his 2 cents every now and then too. Being an avid reader/thinker (and was a philosophy major at TCU) he's actually a very good writer as well!!!

I'll leave you with a little encouragement he sent to me and a few of his friends the other day!!!


Psalm 22:27-28 27 All the ends of the earth

will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,

28 for dominion belongs to the LORD
and he rules over the nations.

God RULES over all the nations. He is king over the kings, the presidents, the government. The earth Belongs to HIM! God is going to do huge things. Jesus upholds every country! He has dominion over Fort Worth. He can do mighty things. He can save a city!! Lets pray huge things, because we have a huge God. Lets pray that no one will go hungry in fort worth, that jimmy gets put out of a job because we dont need police any more because crime stops (sorry jimmy it will just mean its time to be a preacher), lets pray that malls close down because people stop buying crap.

Love you all
