So my New Year's Resolution as of today is that I am going to try to write on this blog a little more often. I am sorry that I haven't really been writing, but with all the snow we have recieved and the traveling I really haven't had much access to a computer. Here in Spokane I recieved 23 inches of snow in a day and a half and then we got many snow storms to add to that snow afterwards. I have been stuck in my house many times because first of all my car is in the garage which I get to through the alley and secondly Spokane has only really been plowing the main streets and not the side streets so driving has been pretty scary. Yesterday it began to warm up and now we can actually see pavement again. So anyway my Christmas went well. It was great to be with family and friends. My sister and I even got to go out one night after we put the boys to bed. It was so much fun. Raider is just growing up so much I can't believe that he is going to be 1 at the end of the month. I am sad that Ben is not here to be with his son on his first birthday ever. Sometimes I wish that he could have at least made it through Raider's first year so that he could have experienced at least one of every holiday and Raider's birthday. But I guess if Ben had made it through just the first year then I would be wishing he had made it at least through the next year and so on. No amount of time would ever be sufficient.
Well I have now officially started my job at St. Mark's. On Sunday we had cafe which is for the high schoolers and is basically just a time to hang out. One kid brought his guitar and another brought his bass. It was fun to see them jam and talk about music. I had just wished so much that Ben had been there to jam with them. Ben would have been so happy just to play music with someone. Last night we had WWL (confirmation) and I got to meet a lot of the kids. Once again I had just wished so much that Ben was there. He had been so excited to move to Spokane and really was excited about the kids at St. Mark's. I was just thinking about how much he loved them and he hadn't even met them and how much he wanted to meet them and know them. As I was thinking about this and knowing personally how much Ben cared I began to think about Jesus and how much he loves and cares for us and wants to have a relationship with us. God just totally opened up my eyes to a new way of understanding his love for us. I love when He does that. Well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and I hope that 2009 holds many blessings for you.

I like this resolution. I love reading what's going on in your life and knowing how to better support you in prayer.
I'm glad that you finally started your job and that you seem to love it. I still pray for you and Raider everyday and think about you often.
Broken glass shines brighter than glass all in one piece. We are wounded healers you know. We shine brighter in our brokenness. It is our wounds that help heal others. That is God's gift to us.
Love you
I hope you take comfort in the fact that you are living Ben's dream for you. He wanted this for you before you knew this is what you needed. It is amazing to watch how God gives us what we need if we just trust in him. Your faith is an inspiration to many. God really does provide. Take care of yourself. I can only speak for myself, but I don't have as many expectations of you as you may think. PS- You are a great mom and Raider is lucky to have you!
