Addict

Recently i have had a touch of the stomach bug…when i say a touch i mean i cant stop vomiting and that is no fun! SOO in my free time stuck in bed i have become addicted to this game…the game is soooo simple that one would think after say two hours of playing it per night i would be bored with it…but no…the shapes haunt me in my sleep!!! the game is tetris…good old tetris…..the oldest game ever except from the website i play from it is updated and cheats! it shows you where the piece will fit before it falls…and you get points for curtain tricks… and i just cant get enough!! dont ask me why. but i thought i would share this nifty website with everyone to spread my addiction. So here it is and enjoy! Watch out…it will get ya!

Our Niche

Recently Brian and I have been looking for a ministry were we felt we belong.  We looked at the kids ministries but decided they were not for us and elevation is the service (at New life Church) that we go to regularly but to us about to get married it just didnt fit anymore….especially to Brian being older than most elevationers…so we started looking at the Foundry…its New life Church’s middle ground is what we call it… mostly newly weds married people and small starting out families and singles that just dont belong in the family groups yet but not belonging to elevation anymore either..its the middle spot..a melting pot.. For me …this is nerve wrecking because i have known nothing but elevation for almost four years now….i love everything elevation… but it was time for us to move on.. i hate moving out of my already soo comfortable zone!!! or at least i thought i would hate it…i even protested…refused to go…but then i started talking to Hannah Bridges and a few others about the Foundry and it really started to sound like where Brian and I were at… so i saught out info about their small groups and found one thats about to start up called Fit to be Tied.. for engaged and wed couples…and then we went to connect night with the Foundry leaders….IT WAS A BLAST!!! Brian felt much more in place than he did in elevation (tho we are going to continue to go to elevation and the foundry). He connected with so many or the guys and i connected really well with some newly weds , some who have been married for years and some who are just starting families of their own…We got to hear about all the up coming events and are even signed up for their ski trip in Dec.  Hearing all the stuff to get involved in and do with them and the new stuff coming our way with this new turn in life got me FINALLY excited about moving out of the singles bracket into the married old folks bracket bc it is really NOT that bad in fact its great once your connected with some one the other side as well..(and it helps to know that eventually your single friends will wander over to that side as well:) ) Anyways needless to say we have finally after a month or two or searching found our niche in the ministries of New Life Church and with the outreach team of the Foundry and all the work they do with the community we feel so much more purposed at this time in our lives. I guess it just took me a while to see the bigger picture for us as a couple moving into married life and that there is just as much excitement on the other side.
