March

The Ides of March are upon us! I can't believe it is March already! Another year passing by so quickly. 2010 will be a cornerstone for sure. Joey Jr. will be born any day now and my first blood nephew/niece will arrive in August!

As for the Jax Intravaia's ... we adopted a dog in February :) Her name is Raygun (it came to a vote on the spelling and this is what came from it) and she is so sweet, besides the fact that she is afraid of EVERYONE! Apparently she was beat wherever she started out and its caused her to be afraid of most people. But, she seems to be getting better week by week and soon we believe she won't be socially akward :)

Did I mention that it is 2010? It is weird getting to a year that you thought was such a lonnnggg ways away. Time is slipping away and what are we doing with it? I find myself looking back at promises I've made, ideas I've had...dreams and goals...and wanting some more time to do them. I have been talking about starting a small group for middle school/high school girls at church and their friends for years...but today I feel there are not enough excuses not to. How important to me was the guidance I received from godly woman, other than my mother, when I was their age? There is no substitute!

Dreams..goals...things to accomplish? I graduated college...got married..have a wellpaying job...a house...a dog...good friends. These are all good things..and I will not complain like some do about not having enough..or not doing enough..because I really have done a lot...but what is all of it? what does it mean for the kingdom? Yes, I glorify God in my job...by graduating...and most of all by marriage...but what work am I doing for God's people and those outside of Christ?

I desire more to do this work..to die to self and serve others...i know there is something I am being called to..but not really sure what it is yet.

It's March 2010...Lord help me not ask these same questions come 2011!
