1 Month Down!!!!!!!!!!

As we finish the first month of the new year it brings great joy and sorrow. The great joy is that my family has made it through another year. The great sorrow comes in a couple of different ways. Our Pastor of 12 years is leaving our church. It was a shock and although we will never really know why, we do wish him the best. Also, William's aunt will died in Louisiana. She helped raise him and he took it as always with great strength. He was able to go down there and see alot of his family that he hasn't seen in some 20 years or more. He had a great time despite the reason he went. As for church, being a leader I feel like I have to give our incoming Pastor a chance. It's not going to be easy but I will try. Keanu has been suffering from chest pain and shortness of breath so I took him to the ER, well that was a horrible mess. They say its heartburn, So obviously he is going for more testing. We have a 3 month break from football and it's that time again. This time I am coaching instead of my husband. I am scared to death. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! But it will be fun. William is getting ready for deployment. We are not at all excited about that all. Well thats all for today.

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Happy New Year to all of our friends and family!!!!!!!!!! William and S'te keep telling me I need to update but I just have not had the time. As I sit here 1 week into the new year, I realize that I am very blessed. Not that I didn't already know that but I am, we are. Some people did not make it to see 2007. It's pretty quiet around here right now. Bailey got in trouble so I haven't seen her in about an hour and William has duty and everyone else is in their rooms. This first week of the year has been very interesting. Our pastor of 12 years personally and for the church 17 years, announced to all the church leadership that he will be leaving to go to North Carolina in March. No warning, no notice. It's not like the heads of the church are sending him, he is the head of the church. He says that he cannot question God and that God has called him to do this. Well if God called him then so be it but I am really tired of hearing other peolple say they understand how some of feel and asking things like why are you angry or hurt? I have every right to be hurt. For me it's like losing a father again. Pastor Brown is my spiritual father. I know it shouldn't bother me what people say but do they have to act so well................duh? After 12 years in a ministry you may be a little ticked when your pastor walks away. Good that off my shoulders.
William has been home for a couple of weeeks and the time seems to fly by. He will soon be going out to sea again. I will be glad when this deployment comes and goes............It is taking way to long yet oh so fast to get here, if that makes any sense. We spent New Years with Rod and S'te. Their church had a preachathon. It was wonderful. I got so much out if it. I hope that this year will be filled with alot of family moments with them. Well I have to get the pictures off of S'te's flickr. We put them there by accident. Well I hope I did not bore you to much................
