Stop waiting on perfect

I've been waiting on perfect
On the perfect sewing room
Perfect shelves
Perfect table
Boxes stacked and labeled
Cute fabrics lining the walls

But then I read on one of my favorite blogs
http://megduerksen.typepad.com/whatever/
That she began sewing on her kitchen table because it was the only place she had
So I took the initiative to turn the kitchen table into a sewing table, used the chairs as shelves and boxes as organizers.

On a deeper end, don't we do this with a lot of things? I do.
I can't work out because a gym membership costs too much. So I borrowed a treadmill
I can't read the bible regularly because I don't know where to start. So I use the YouVersion app and reading plan.
There aren't many outlets for moms at my church. So I've been getting plugged in at the library and through other groups.
I'm learning that I need to take more initiative, use what's been given to me, make more of an effort to reach out to others and bring Glory to Him through every situation - perfect or not!!

She's an awesome friend.

She's a homerun.

TUG 2011 - Pigeon Forge

last weekend we spent the weekend with some of our high school students at the TUG retreat in Pigeon Forge, TN. I learned SO much and the conference wasn't even "for me" we joined 9,000 students for teaching, worship and retreat. The retreat was divided up so most of the sessions were with about 2,000 students. Worship was led by Kari Jobe, we heard Dave Edwards, Ergun Caner, Scott Dawson and my personal favorite, David Nasser. We learned about the TUG of Christ and the TUG of the world - which one will we answer.

It was an incredible time to get to know the youth leaders better, and the students. They are a diverse, talented and amazing bunch! I saw hearts changed, lives surrendered and decisions made. I was humbled in worship and challenged in teaching. I'm so thankful to experience retreats like this.

on Sunday I took a spill while ice skating - possibly the most intense pain I've ever experienced. Landed right on my knee cap - no breaks or fractures - just some fluid and bruising! THANK YOU LORD!!
