the last post i wrote that i would be writing less to spend time with my family. little did i know how i would be made to do that!
our temporary living (the apartment in tulsa) doesn't have internet. it really stinks! to be honest - i hate it! there is just no reason to get it when we will be moving to our house at the end of the summer. the nice guy i married let's me go to panera bread every couple of days to get my fix on their free wifi :)
that's just the way it is & i will have to deal with it.... unfortunately. so my blogs will be very few until we move & no pictures.
stink. again.
we moved to tulsa (a week ago)
we had a rough start... dirty apartment & i mean gross dirty. hair in the bathrooms, stains on the comforters, dog hair, all the drawers & closets needed to be wiped down, the pans in the kitchen had looked used & i'm not sure they were washed... ever.
when we signed up for the furnished apartment this is not what i was thinking. i wanted to move in & have no signs of no one living there. it really grossed me out. (((i still does))) it really made me upset that i was paying them all this money & i had to come in & clean the whole thing before trying to get settled.
that same night at bedtime b started crying saying, "i want to go home" i was trying to comfort him by telling him this is our new home, we live in tulsa now but by the end i was crying along with him.
saturday was a little better. we stocked up on food & new towels (((no way was i going to use the ones there!))) that night we meet up with friends & played at the park. just hanging out, cool weather... nice & relaxing.
sunday was even better! didn't have to be at church until 10:45, didn't have to sit on the front row, no responsibilities. i little weird but it was a nice change. good service & then lunch with friends.
me & the boys are staying busy with swimming, library trips, getting lost figuring out the new town (((it would help if i could figure out how to use the GPS he bought!))), free movie, free bowling, spray grounds, free concert. (((do you get the theme... FREE!!!)))
it didn't start out how i thought i would but by the end of the first week its all good. i like tulsa more & more. chad likes tulsa & the boys, well they like anywhere if they are getting to have fun!
i know, i know, i know we are suppost to be here & that gives me peace & makes me like this new city even more. we are in God's perfect will.
**We meet & have been meeting monthly since January. Its a time of vision casting & fellowship. **We are in the process of finding a location... very exciting. ** We start (three) community groups in September. **We already have forty people committed to being apart of CITY CHURCH with us. **I love the other pastor's wives & the kids pastor... an answer to pray. (will have to write another blog about this) **It's very exciting times. I had no idea what to expect moving here & us being apart of this. I still have no expectations except something great will happen because I know God is in this!
