On August 31st, Bryan will become the senior pastor of The ROCK. I am so glad Pastors Ron and Norma will remain as the founding pastors and spiritual Papa and Nana. It is going to be neat to watch God unfold this new season in our lives.

Over the last several weeks I have felt many emotions. I have been excited, nervous,ecstatic and overwhelmed. I know this is huge!

As I look back over my life, I see how God has placed me in situations and circumstances to prepare me for this time. I am so humbled to be standing by my husband and to serve such a great congregation.

Here we go ROCKERS! Let’s go ROCK our city!

Bryan showing Gabriel how to shave.  It was exciting to see that our first son is growing up. He is taller than is Nana and almost as tall as me.

This is our dog Sadie and you would probably find her in this spot most of the time. She has been with us for 19 months and is 6 years old.

Today, I was reading an article in my favorite magazine. The article was titled “Pet Owner Behaving Badly.” Well,  I have been behaving badly. We have been skimping on our exercise. She is supposed to get 30 minutes twice a day, and if not it could be channeled into barking and jumping.

My excuse  has been if I had more time I would walk her more often. Well, the days are not getting any longer.  This will also help me with my excuse for not exercising.

Here are some changes I am currently making to adjust some time:

• Meeting with someone for an estimate on cleaning my home.
• Planning and grouping errands together (this is also saving on gas)
• Using Menus4moms.com weekly menus. Recipes are 30 minutes are less shopping list included. I will adjust some of the items or substitute.
•  Trying to spend less time on the computer at home.
