Blogging hasn't appealed to me much this year, but for some reason, I think a little blogging would do me good right now. It's sorta therapeutic. lol

Each year has a theme in my book. Some of them stand out to me and others just fade into the distance. The past four years are all meshed together… I don’t know whether that’s a good thing, or a bad thing. They’re filled up with so many different activities and memories and spiritual growth. I’ve learned a lot this year also…about relationships (all around) and about setting healthy boundaries in my own life.

From January to present I’ve been blasted with too much to keep my head on straight! I keep wondering when the blows will cease. It’s one thing after another! I won’t go into all the details…they might actually be interesting!

Last night was a relief and a letdown. Dave's family and I learned some depressing information, but at the same time we were all relieved that a conclusion was finally come to concerning the matter.

I'm also relieved that God is in control. I don’t know what I would do without Him; knowing that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is in His hands and He knows exactly what and who I need in my life to bring me closer to Him.

I'm trusting that when God pulls our plans and dreams out from under our feet, that He must have something so much bigger in mind... I'm hanging onto this!!

David and me

Gimme gimme gimme!!! Want want want! I am constantly crying out for more... More of what? More of something that can never fill. It's like dumping a few truckloads into the Grand Canyon...hoping that might fill it up. The road to insanity! "What would you do if you had 24 million dollars, Crystal?" Dave asked me on our picnic yesterday evening. "Hmm...I would pack a small lunch, drive out to a park, and have a picnic with Dave..." :)

i need to update...
