VS    

Yesterday, West Point and A&M met again, this time at Kyle Field in College Station, for the battle of the Corps.  The Aggies came out on top, final score 17-21!  Although I am also a West Point fan, I have to give kudos to my alma mater.  Gig em Ags!  Whoop!  I talked to my dear hubby late last night, and I was so tired that I forgot to rub it in!  This post is for you Honey 

Although there is fun and friendly rivalry involved, all of these corp members are in it for something entirely different than college football fun, and much bigger than themselves.  At the game over 140 wounded soldiers and their families (all part of Fort Hood’s Wounded Warriors Program) were honored at the game.  It was touching and humbling to see these soldiers who have sustained such serious injuries in their service to America.  There is such a great spirit about this rivalry, it was a great game.

Hope you all are having a relaxing and blessed Sunday!

Ever have one of those days when God not only blesses you, but completely blows you away? 

I just did. 

And all I can say is “Wow” and “Praise God!”.

I woke up, like any other ordinary day (overslept, rushing to get out the door), completely unexpecting of anything out of the ordinary.  And then, throughout the course of the day, God opened so many doors of opportunity, all shining a light so bright and beautiful that my heart could only sing and marvel at them.  I recieved spiritual guidance from some amazing women (including you Christine!), and felt an excitement in my heart to serve like I have not felt in quite a while.  I am hoping to become more involved in an organization called Challenge, an apostolate of the Regnum Christi movement.  I would be mentoring young women, who in turn mentor and lead younger girls.  As the day unfolded, multiple opportunities for personal growth, new friendships and service are suddenly sitting before me.  It’s hard to even explain my current feelings of joy, amazement, suprise and awe.  God’s ways are mysterious and awesome.

I hope that you too, are blown away by His amazing works in your life today.

 

And just for fun…

(how cute is he?!)

We miss you Daddy!

Now, I know that Halloween isn’t for another month, but I just couldn’t resist (consider it a sneak peek of the trick-or-treating cuteness to come)!  What great timing…my long awaited camera and Asher’s long awaited Curious George costume both arrived in the mail, such memorable first photos taken with my new camera.  Asher has a fervent love for Curious George, his first childhood character obsession.  It’s so so cute.  I’ve posted the full (and a little differently edited) series here on my photo blog. 

Hope you enjoy the cuteness as much as I do!
