.our crazy weekend.

Well we are in the midst of moving. We are moving out to a 60acre farm and will be living in an awesome farmhouse (its a dream home for me!!!)...I will post pictures soon.. So my parents came up this weekend to help us move some stuff and brought up my dining room table. On Friday night we moved some stuff that they had brought up from SC and then Andrew and I headed to the marriage conference at our church for the evening. It was AMAZING. Here are a few quotes from the speaker:
*marriage=2 flawed people+ 1 fallen world+ 1 powerful God
*Romance is a result, NOT a cause
*What rules your heart will control your behavior-Luke6:43-45
*The DNA of sin is selfishness
*The fruit in your life depends on your roots-Luke6:43-45
Then we came home to hang out for a bit with my parents then off to bed.
Saturday morning we woke up bright and early and headed back to the church until lunch time for more of the conference. Here are a few more quotes from Paul Tripp:
*As long as there is sin in me, I carry around something that is destructive to relationships.
*God will take you where you haven't intended to go to produce in you what you couldn't on your own.
*Love= a willing self sacrifice for the good of another that doesn't demand reciprocation or that the person being loved is deserving.
*True love is born out of gratitude not duty.
While we were at the conference my family kept (spoiled) HattieJo!
Then Saturday night Andrew had the awesome opportunity to preach at our church. He did an amazing job. He really challenged the people to lay aside your preferences and freedoms in order to reach other people for Christ. When we got home "uncle Ken" and Stevie came to spend the night too and visit with us and to pick up some dogs!
On Sunday morning we woke up for some good breakfast casserole and donuts! YUMMY! Then we played, played, and played. Then we packed up a load and carried it to the new house. More to come! Sorry for the LONG post! (Just a little taste of our crazy, but good life!)

  2. Thanks for sharing the bullet points from the conference. We would have loved to have attended if we weren't in a wedding. I love the point.."God will take you where you haven't intended to go to produce in you what you couldn't on your own." It really speaks volumes into our current situation. Thanks!
