Since starting work with Bill, James has been spiritually growing exponentially! (OR so it seems) There is no more "I'm too tired to go to Sunday School today," and no more "Let's not go to evening service tonight.." He has been so motivated, and it really is a blessing to me too!
A blessing in disguise, I should say. Lately, he's been stern with me, almost bossy! At first, I was like HUH?! Why are you trying to boss me around? You never used to care if I made the plans! Buuut, after a spat and a long talk, I realized that I was trying to be the controlling one. I always like to make plans, and then forget to tell him...or try to get him to do things for me, when I can do them myself. We had a good talk about our roles, and what each of us could do to help the other. I need a lot more practice in submitting, but I want to do things the right way...so I'll keep trying. One thing I've learned is that it's easier to submit to him when he's submitting to God!
Also, I have decided to quit my job working as a student nurse tech. Time to trust God with our finances...I wish I had quit sooner, and it has really been bugging James that I still work occasionally. He really wants to do things the right way, and so do I. Now that he and I are really rooted in the church, I seriously wish I had sought some council before signing papers to join the Navy! I want to stay here and have kids! I'm really not one for daycare or things like that, so when I have kids (soon) I will need to put them in daycare or something while I work!
:( I don't want ever James to be a Mr.Mom! Can you imagine! He'd be like Mrs.Doubtfire! Haha I absolutly love that movie!
Anyways...maybe Kina can be my nanny for a little while? Can I borrow her for 4 years? Please oh please!? :)
Just a thought.
Here's the area where I'll be stationed: http://www.balboapark.org/
The hospital is actually IN Balboa Park, along with the zoo and botanical gardens. Soooo anyone looking for a cheap-ish vacation; feel free to visit me! :)

What a pleasure it has been to watch you and James grow. May God bless you and continue to guide you ~ even through your Navy experience.
I'll be nanny for awhile... especially if you'll let me take them to the beach EVERY day:-)
Anyway, I'm proud of you! You're a great wife:-)
It is amazing how Pastor seems to know just what to preach!! You are both doing a great job. Keep your focus on God and you will only get better. It is really sweet to see you both growing.
You are tooooo sweet. I love watching the Lord work in the lives of the people in our church. I agree with you about Pastor except I believe he has live transmissions of some sort from our homes to his church office.
You and James are such a blessing! I really enjoy being around you guys. And, my kids think Bro. James is the BEST at Master's clubs. I don't even want to think about you guys going somewhere...But I know that God will take care of you and lead you (hopefully back to us when you're all done!)
