Hi!!!

What a fun busy season!! Fall is so fun! My whole house is decorated "Pottery Barn Fall"-ish. There's a pumpkin candle on the counter filling the whole house with fall!!! LOVE IT!!

Our kids are getting big!! Haley is almost 7 (which is crazy!!), Téa is 3 and Braden just turned 1!! It's a lot to keep up with everything, but obviously very worth it and fun!

I head to Texas this week to speak and lead worship at a women's conference in Amarillo. One of my best friends, Heather, is coming with me and I'm not bringing ANY kids!! I'm gonna miss that baby!! :0( It's only 3 days, so it won't be bad. Brian is staying home with them. (All 3 for the first time...that's gonna be fun to hear about! **wink**) He is amazing with them. They will have a great time partying while mommy's gone. :0)

**sigh** God is so good. Even though we go through stressful stuff sometimes, I just always remind myself of something that our friend Kris Vallotton said "There is a grace today to get done, everything that needs to be done". Oh gosh, that just kills me in a great way. Help us God to find that grace on a daily basis and to not be overwhelmed...with or by anything.

Something our Dad Bill says is, "Be a king before men, and a beggar before God". Kings don't question their royalty, they just are. It's not about arrogance, it's about knowing who you are. **kills me!!!** God help us to act like the royalty that we are - to walk in our true authority/identity.

Ok, so, I'm really excited about something that Heather and I are starting!!! We've starting this website called "coffee with friends". Once a month we're gonna host a "chat" with women age 20-40 and record it. Our heart is to help women process through the daily life issues of a "Kingdom minded woman". Then we'll post the video on our site so all of you can download it!! Fun right!? We'll also be uploading conference that I speak at and such. We are looking to launch in November 2008! Please pray for us and for us to have open doors!

Well, that's it for now! Father I pray our extreme favor and blessing on our friends today! That we would know you more and show your extravagant love and mercy to the world. We ask for you to increase your presence in our lives. We love you daddy God.

Talk to ya soon,
Jenn

Well, the holidays are over and we've been organizing our house! It has been so fun to just enjoy life. A friend of ours recently told us we needed to just chill out and enjoy what we have - sooooo true!! Sometimes we get caught up in the crazy/busy rat race, and we need to sit back, take a deep breath and just have fun! Taking time to enjoy the small stuff. Living a daily life of thankfulness and worship - that's my goal.

:0)

Every year Jenn gets really festive! Lights decorations ect. I on the other hand probably wouldn't even get a tree if it wasn't for Jenn and our 2 girls. Instead of eating turkey at thanksgiving I probably would order Round table pizza. I'm kind of like the Grinch except not quite as stinky. Jenn has trained our girls in the ways of decorating for every season! We have summer decorations, Fall decorations, Christmas decorations, Spring decorations, and every little holiday in between decorations. Gotta love it!

This year Jenn and I are picking a family in our church to buy presents for. Jenn will probably fill the back of my truck with everything you can think of for this very lucky family. The great thing is that whoever this family is won't know what's happening until the night before christmas. It always seems better to give than to recieve unless your getting something really great. Just kidding! Jenn gave me my present early this year. I'm kind of like the kid who keeps asking his parents what they got him for christmas except I'm 28 years old. Jenn has learned that I won't stop asking until she lets me open my presents early. So being the amazing wife that she is she let me open my present a month early. She bought me a plasma tv/flat screen or whatever you call it. It's pretty sweet. Now I can watch my hunting shows in HD. Anyways, Merry Christmas. We hope that this year is especially delicious!

Well, life has been amazing lately. We LOVE fall around here. Our house is all decorated with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and leaves and pinecones from outside - fun!
We have been traveling alot lately which has been fun too. It makes you really appreciate home though. Home, this is my new favorite goal: to make a home. A place where friends feel like family and family like guests. I LOVE when people come over and visit. My girlfriend Heather comes over for coffee a few times a week, and it just...brightens my life. I love positive people. I'm really working on being 100% positive. Not one of those "thank you Jesus, when they hurt themselves" people, but on a whole - just being positive. People spend to much of their lives dwelling on negative stuff/issues. I'm focusing on having a thankful heart and all of the good things in life.
Well, that's about it for now.

Love,
Jenn
