I am currently in Montreat working on a conference for May! Its amazing how much planning happens for the future and it makes me ponder...am i really living for TODAY!
Nevertheless, the start of 2010 has been full of a plethora of God moments! Robert and I kicked off 2010 in Orlando, Florida in Disney World! I felt like i was 11 again with the fam exploring Disney(i remember mom having the twins on a leash!!)!! We had a blast! On my way back to Charlote, I was held up at the airport. I was angry, frustrated, and sad. I realized in the airport by myself (not knowing how to be a "stand by" passagenger!!) how much I am so not in control! We struggle to control everything in our lives, at the moment, alone in the airport, I had to take a step back knowing GOD is in control!!! Goodness what a great feeling! Later that same day, I traveled back to home to Hartsville! Talk about experiencing God: lunch date with the one and only Jeri Perkins, afternoon visit with the Timberlakes and the Norwoods, and dinner date with incredible youth of First Presbyterian Church...goodness i miss you all! As I drove to Columbia that night, i couldn't help but thank God for yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Wow! AS i reflect back on 2009 - new home, new calling, newly wed,and all so so fun!God has definately led Robert and me down a beautiful path together!! Speaking of Robert, what an incredible man! i fall more and more in love with him as we learn more about each other through this married life! He has such ambition, a passion for his job, a dedication to his friends, and a love for our families and loves me!! i know i have said this before but Robert reminds me so much of you, Dad!!! I have married my best friend an am grateful!!! I love you Robert Lane!
So cheers to2010 and the journeys ahead of us!Looking forward to: running first 10k with Cara! Celebrating one year with Robert! Brat Pack Reunions! and many more fun times and memories with FAMILY!!
