ok, i don't *mean* to neglect my blog, really... i just haven't had much to say this week.

work has been busy. changes, big changes. some good, some not good. but we'll survive.

i'm really glad it's friday. i have nothing scheduled this weekend, except to teach kids' church on sunday. i'm so looking forward to some downtime.

matt and i are talking more about launching my photography business... i'm getting more confident in my skill as i'm getting much more practice. i'm still several weeks out yet, i'm sure... i want to do more portfolio building first. and of course, there's some computer upgrades and such that i need...

we're also still very focused on our finances. we want to start praying over our bills - like physically, over them. not that God would make them miraculously paid, but that He would guide us to make wise choices, and that our dollar might stretch a little further as we serve Him. money is the easiest area for people to be selfish in. i feel the selfishness too. i don't always want to give to Him - sometimes i have a super bad attitude about it. and i have to remind myself why we do... because He gave it to us first. giving Him a tenth is really the least we can do.

we're doing something next week at church that i'm super excited about. recently, we purchased a new church campus, and it's currently undergoing some major remodel work. though we were really well-prepared going in, we're still encountering some unexpected expenses, and many delays. so, next friday/saturday, our new campus members of our church will be reading in every room of the building for 24 hours straight. during this time, we'll take one-hour shifts, and read and pray in groups of 3 or 4, one group in each room. the goal is that in that 24 hours, the entire Bible will be read in that church. amazing, huh? i really believe that when two people come together in spirit, Jesus is with us. imagine what He'll do with this. can't wait to see what comes of it.

i'm hoping to do some scrapbooking this weekend, and to finish up some school work. hopefully i'll be really productive. i love productive weekends.

i guess that's all i have to say today... more than i thought. happy friday.
