Oh the places we go

Last weekend I had the amaaaazing privelege to sit under Anne Graham Lotz and listen to her for hours while she brought the Word. SBF had their first ladies retreat and it was absolutely FANTASTIC. Not only do I just love a good retreat, I LOVE me some preaching by AGL. Everything went very smoothly from an organizational standpoint but so many lives were changed. One of my most favorite things that Anne reminded me of was of God's omniscience. If God knows all things, then there has never been a new thought in his mind. And since we know that to be true, we know that He has never stopped thinking about me! Or you! I am not a surprise to him, what has happened is not a surprise to Him and what I am going through - no matter how big or small - is still not a surprise to Him. How precious and feet-stompin-good it was to be reminded of that truth. I was also so blessed by my husband to have a solid 24 hours to worship hard and focus soley on the Word of God. I came home to a clean house (including mopped floors?!), a very happy baby, clean bottles, errands run, and laundry in the works. I didn't have any worries of him staying home with Luke since he is such a hands on dad to begin with, but it was such a blessing to walk into the home and STILL not have to worry about things getting done.

And now we are in the city that never sleeps! As much as I love living down South I absolutely LOVE nyc. Billy and I have been a few times since we've been married, though this is the first time with Luke, and every time we're here I love it a little bit more. I can't decide what I love more, shopping at my favorite stores or playing out scenarios in my head of meeting celebrities and becoming BFFs with them. No seriously...I do that. We had a wonderful day hitting up the clearance racks at some of my favorites stores, long walk through Central Park, visit to Grand Central Station, and dinner in a fabulous french restaurant in the meat packing district. Billy will be working the rest of the week so Luke and I will be on our own. Although Billy's traveling gets very old at times, I'm thankful for the opportunity to go on free vacations such as this. Speaking of Billy's work, he got another e-mail from the VP of the company he's interviewed with in the past month and they have some potential business that Billy could potentially manage. We are praying for a change. Thankfully, my heart is in a MUCH better place than last time so I am ok either way. I know God has great ministry and learning opportunities regardless of where Billy works.

Alright folks, TV time - we don't have half the channels at home that we do at this hotel! MAN we are so lame...
