Harvest started a new series this weekend. I know some of you reading this probably have already wanted to tune out but keep reading anyways. Some of you have no idea what Harvest is. Some of you have no idea im a Christian. Let me explain..
Harvest Bible Chapel is the church Mike & I attend. Its a bible believing church that preaches the Word of God, is not afraid to talk about Jesus, believes strongly in prayer and best of all shares the good news of Jesus! Its a church that welcomes anyone and lets you know upfront that you need Jesus.
Take a look at this video, I promise you its worth it :)

Now that your hooked go ahead and go to watch this video.
If your sick of trying to "do the right thing", take after your families choices, be filled with knowledge and no answer, have passion for ____ but not for life... watch here!
If your tired of having no hope and living with anxiety and fear and you have never heard the good news... here it is!
Have a great week! I promise you, when/if you watch the video... it will make a difference in your life if you let it. Its simply less than one hour of your time.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Hoping this 2012 has started off well for you :)
This past week Mike & I took a little vaca to Fort Myers to visit grandpa & grandma and take some time to relax before the new year was in full swing! It was great to spend time with them, relax at the pool, get to know them better, and see Mike enjoying his time too! He even got to golf with George Anne!
Coming back this week has been rough. Not rough, just busy. Mike had to go to the doctor last minute on Monday and all of a sudden they are calling me in saying, "wait here while we do the **procedure**"!!! I had no idea what was going on. Turns out they just did a small cut on his back to remove some pressure from a cyst (HOWEVER) if you know me I jumped to the worst conclusion. Anyway, he is fine (as am I after having a bit of anxiety from hydrogen peroxide cleanings). I am in a new Zumba class that started this week. I like it. Its a bit more fast tempo than the last class & the instructor is great! Nothing like dancing in front of 20 other people while trying to not look like a fool in the mirror. Its good to get back into the swing of things. I am happy at work, I feel like I have made some really great relationships with people and am apart of a team that cares about students needs. This week was a good start (after 3 weeks off it could have been a bit hard). Our small group is back after taking a Christmas break and we are studying Romans while going through "Romans by John MacArther". Its a good study to keep me focused on my readings throughout the week.
Not sure how all of you felt about the snow but I loved it. At school on Thursday we watched the storm start through our classroom windows while explaining to the students that snow = winter = cold = gloves/jackets/hats. Our curriculum depends on hands on instruction so the snow helped!
After this busy week its been great to relax this weekend. Mike & I got to go to a bulls games (love the bulls!) and it helps to have Monday off for MLK Day! Have a great week, take some time to thank God for all he has blessed you with even in the midst of the storm. He always is in control working His will... even when we do not see "something happening". As christians we are called to be holy, supported by our church, small group, personal studies and strong biblical friendships. Our lives should show fruit just as a tree planted by streams of water. Even when we have trials, hardships, stress, our lives are to reflect a gracious, humble God! Psalm 1:3-4 "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither (continues to be fruitful). Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff (weak, shells of grain, pushed over easily) that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous."
Love,
Alisha
