2013....a new adventure

What are the dreams that I am expecting for while living this next year 2013 with my beautiful family?

1. Jason and I both successfully added a few more LETTERS to the end of our names....which was something we worked hard for.....and now with those in place we are excited to go forth into the MISSION FIELD that GOD has for us.
- we are praying about a few different ministries:
Africa Inland Missions
Mercy Maternity Center
YWAM- Mission Builders
Pantano Christian Church Outreach Team- Local and Abroad
Gap MInistries
Good 360
TEEN MISSIONS!!!YAY!

2.I struggled with not having Christopher homeschooled or in a Christian school....but now that he is at a  public school.....I need to exhort him, encourage him and stand behind him in praying realizing that is his mission field and everyday ask him.....Christopher what will you do at school for JESUS today????


3. EMPLOYMENT!!!!WE want the way in which we make money to glorify God. We definitely accepted positions at first because we had to...we had to feed out kids and get a house to raise our kids....but now our time at work has to be spent doing what God wants us to do....and I have seen that unfolding in the past few weeks and months...

4. Generosity and Finances! We want our monies to be  focused on the right things. We need to be responsible and intentional with everything that God gives us.
God lets us keep 90 percent of all that we earn...he only asks for 10 percent. CRAZY. Lets use that 90 percent to honor God and the 10 percent to TRUST in his plans.
AMEN.

So I dont really have any resolutions.

I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary with my beloved rose this year (inside joke) He is adorable. He puts up with a lot from me....hes a great dad.....I love this life we have together...and I think 2013 is going to be great....2012 we really worked out some things and turned that corner into a more mature agape relationship.....still have those puppy love instincts...but our depth of love and commitment has GROWN SO Much in the last year. Thank you God for breathing new life!!!!

BUT I think that is what I want to work on the most.....being a better wife and better mom....I have so vicious DEMONS in my past.....sometimes things I do and say.....are horrible....I could point fingers and blame bad parenting/ lack of parenting and years of abuse and neglect on my actions.....but I know that I need to GIVE those things to GOD.....andbe more intentional with my love!!!!!!!!!HELP me.Shut my mouth when I need to shut my mouth. Give me patience when I have none. Give me love that is from YOU. Bless my husband and children and grow in their hearts despite my shortcomings and failures to reflect your love 100 percent of the time.

Oh yeah and I still need to lose weight.....ugh!!!!!!!!!!!
But I am resolved to work on the spiritual first then the physical....hehe! (dont call me lazy! hehe!)

TobyMac - Me Without You (Official Lyric Video)

As 2012 winds down and the season of Christmas appraoches, Ive been contemplating where I am in relation to the will of God. Where has 2012 brought me in relation to God and the work that he is doing in this world.
I feel like this year has been quite amazing and challenging. I think I have evolved and grown in ways I never have before this year. My highlights of this year definitely been the following:
1. Jason GRADUATED nursing school and is now a nurse with a great job and a new look at himself.
2. Our daughter turned 1 years old can walk and sign language.( I understand how important that truly is being that I work with kids all day long that cannot do these things)
3. Christopher led a boy to the LORD at school
4. Christopher led 10 or more people to the LORD on our mission trip this summer to fairs.
5. I passed NARM and have a CPM now which will allow me to be a midwife missionary as God allows.
6. Moved to TUCSON and love the church and community He has brought us to.

I am always PASSIONATELY PURSUING....some may say Im OVERZEALOUS, impulsive, and a little CRAZY......and I would concur....I love adventure and learning something new.....I love feeling God presence in my life and see how He is working.....I love thinking of ways to serve and be the FEET.......

I think I am now unfolding some plans that God has for me that is beyond what I had planned to do for God....for instance...Ive been pursuing my midwifery degree for a long time...now God has blessed me and I have my CPM.....so I hear him saying to me now....Krissy I gave you your hearts desire and I love that you want to serve me as a midwife....but maybe...just maybe I would also like to use you in other ways to touch and help my children....are you on board with that too......I would like to show you my ideas...what do you think???I love how wonderful God is.....how much he loves me and gently guides me...
Anyways.....so this TOBY MAC song is my ANTHEM for 2012....I also love this song because my little lexi loves to dance to this song so it is special for that reason...
HERES TO THE CONTINUED JOURNEY WITH GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Krissy, his kiddo!
