Wednesday loves...

What I'm loving Wednesday linking up here!

This edition is dedicated to Lynchburg... our home for the last 6 years.

- ONE-

Brentwood church.  We have been so thankful for the people we have meet through this church and the truth that has been taught to us.  It is at this church that we learned what it felt like to be taught instead of preached at.  We also learned about Freedom424 and the ministry they have freeing those enslaved in the sex trades in Thailand.  I am thankful for having the chance to get involved with them! We also learned how to do life with our community group.  I am so thankful for this group of people, and will really miss them alot, especially Wednesday nights.  Hopefully we will stay caught up via skype! 

-TWO-

Liberty University.  The reason why Jason and i both ended up in Lynchburg.  Although no university, or town for that matter is perfect, I am especially thankful for coming to Lynchburg while Jerry Sr. was still alive.  That man was the definition of living a life for Christ, holding nothing back and giving Him all the Glory and praise.  It was an honor to hear him at church and every Wednesday on campus. I am thankful that for different reasons God had a plan to bring Jason and I both to Liberty.   I also met some of my greatest friends at Liberty- shout out to Ashley, and my nursing girls! 

-THREE-

Some great years coaching cheerleading.  I am thankful for the years that I have had to get to know so many great girls and watch them grow into the women that God created them to be.  It was such a great time to see them push themselves to achieve something that was unreached for so many years.  Although they might not have always loved the pushing from their dear coaches, it was such a reward to see their hard work finally pay off.  I have learned so much about how to love these girls, and one day parent my own.  I am thankful for the examples, good and bad that I have seen because they have all impacted my life- in different ways of course : ).  This year I am proud of the girls that have stayed true to themselves, and continued to push themselves.  Shout out to Amy... I miss our afternoons together! 

-FOUR-

Some awesome places to eat! Our favorites include: Neighbors Place, Geralds, Montana Plains, La Villa, Macados, Lacaretta, Joe Beans coffee (esp. the pumpkin spice, and frosty's favorite), and of course the Texas Inn.  There are many others but these are all I can think of right now! I also found my love for eating with local restaurants- not chains.  

-FIVE-

Our little apartment, and our life for the past year and a half.  We have struggled and I am thankful for that.  Without knowing how to struggle, we would not know how to be thankful for what we will have in the future.  We have also learned how to make it on little, so that when we have more we will know how to save! Also, we have already started a list of what we are going to be thankful for this includes: no elephants upstairs, a backyard for tucker, a garage- or even better not having to fight for parking, no crazy loud small children outside my window, and last but not least a washer & dryer! Praise God hallelujah! 


I know that I am forgetting things for this post, and I am sure I will be missing things I never thought I would so stay tuned for more loves of Lynchburg.

Mom and Dad will get here tomorrow, graduation is Friday and we are planning to leave VERY early Saturday morning. 


THE DEWS ARE TEXAS BOUND! 

More on our journey next time,

done..

It's official.... I turned in my two finals today and I am done with my classes! Now to wait for final grades.

  Graduation is ONE WEEK from today!

For the next week we will be packing and waiting for my parents to arrive.  Jason has 2 research papers and a few other assignments due before next Friday.  Good things are happening around here!

 God is good! 

Psalm 126:3 "The LORD has done great things for 

us and we are filled with joy." 

More on our journey next time,

Wednesday with the Dews

Wednesday 

Not much new around here.  We are busy packing, working on school work and trying to get everything done in the next 9 days.  This past weekend we got to go to Richmond one last time to see Jason's parents.  We had a great visit! I know it was a little bittersweet for Jason, but I keep reminding him that we will be just a plane ride away.  I know Jason is hoping his dad will come to Texas for the TCU vs Virginia game this fall.  It will be fun to get to show them all around when they come to visit.  

Now on to What I'm Loving Wednesday.

- ONE- 

I am LOVING that classes are over, and my finals are pretty much done. I worked really hard to get them done early because I knew this week would be needed for packing.  Ready to be done.... for a little while : ) 

-TWO-

I am LOVING that we have Christmas with the community group tonight.  Again I think it will be a great time but also bittersweet.  I wont have to say goodbye to the girls tonight because we have plans on Friday! (I really hate goodbyes!) 

-THREE-

I am LOVING that Jason is done working 2 jobs.  I know that we have both done what we had to do during the last few years, but I am glad that he is done needing to work 2 jobs.  Have I mentioned how blessed we are? Thinking about it- seriously the Lord has provided for us not only in the last year or so, but also for our future.  We have both been blessed with job opportunities, a home, churches here and there, parents who support us and friends that love the Lord.  What more could we ask for? 

I haven't really had time to be on pinterest, therefore this post is a little sad.  Stay tuned maybe after Christmas for more exciting posts.  I'm not sure when our internet will be connected at the new house.  Hang with me for a little while.  Hopefully I will have time to post one more time before the move.
