The Truth Project

Our church recently started this study called the Truth Project. If you've never heard of it, I suggest going to the site and watching the trailer(there is a short one or long one). Nick and I have been going since it started, granted we only just finished the second lesson last night.


Every Monday evening we meet at one of our church members house and we have snacks and fellowship and then we start the hour long DVD lesson. Even though we are not that far into this 12 lesson series, I am loving it already. It has really opened my eyes to things that I would not have even thought about. After the lesson, we discuss it together. There are only 4 or 5 couples so its small and intimate and makes it very easy to learn from each other and what we each absorbed from the lesson. I probably learn more to a point afterwards when we all talk and explain things and so on.


Dr. Del Tackett is very easy to understand. I have to have it simple. He is. Even though he's talking about very real and complex things in this world.


I'm not so great at explaining things, maybe once we get further into the series. All in all, he's teaching us how to differentiate between World View and Christian View. Bottom line.


I am thankful for this series, as I believe and pray Nick and I both will get a lot out of it. We will miss one or two probably, depending on when Brynlee decides to grace us with her presence, hopefully we'll be able to borrow the DVD and catch up ourselves and then reunite with our small group and get right back in!


This is just one of the few things thats going on in our lives right now and I am very excited to see the outcome, and I just decided to share it with anyone who was interested. I do suggest watching the trailer, it gives more info about it.

Somewhat finished..

Well this past Saturday Nick and I accomplished quite a lot in the nursery. We honestly don't have a ton of stuff, we didn't do a theme, just colors. And with our lack of stores over here, its hard to find stuff to go in the room. So when we see stuff we get it but otherwise, no biggie. I really would love to paint a couple of the walls in her room, but with less than a year left in this house I don't really see the point. Most definalty at our next house, I will be a painter!
I know the curtains are a tad long, but I am going to tie them to the side and plus I don't want to cut them in case we need long ones in our next house!
Here's our little British crib. Lol. It use to be mine and my sisters. Its quite a bit smaller than the ones nowadays, but I was in it till I was 2, and I love the family value it has.
They aren't perfect, but I love them. I painted them and did the ribbons. Not the best bow maker, but it works!

The changing table/dresser and rocking chair. I am using the boxes as drawers and they are full of cute clothes! There will be a stuffed animal net on the left side to fill in that space, we just have to figure out how to hang it in on these concrete walls!


Thats all for now folks!
