A funny thing happened in the dressing room...




something I never thought I would hear come out of my dear friend's mouth:

"Misty, I think those are too BIG? Do you want to try a 4?" (insert "open-mouth emoticon" here)

cool! now i have cute new jeans that actually fit! I almost wore them out of the store, like when you're little, and you get new shoes, and you wanna wear them out the door? I really wanted to, after I had put the cute jeans on, that fit, then put on the super-big-parachute jeans I have been wearing for way too long! Girls, you all know that shopping for jeans is NO FUN! you'll find a pair you "LOVE", they fit great! next time you go back to the same store (because you wore holes in the other pairs) to get the same style in the same size (the ones that fit great, remember??) they are NO LONGER THE SAME!! I swear, sometimes they just alter the "size" a little. or they add stretch. or they don't have the "boyfriend" cut anymore. and what's up with trying the same SIZE on at the SAME STORE...but in the different "styles" they fit differently???? talk about confusing and often frustrating! These are just a few of the reasons why I just kept on wearing the baggy jeans for so many months. Now to totally change the subject. Jon and I have been visiting a "new" church, Willow Park Baptist. It is 30 minutes closer than Pleasantview, where Brother Moody is the Pastor. Brother Moody married Jon and I, and he is the reason we visited WPBC. He informed us that his very good friend is the sr. pastor over there! yay! Needless to say, i really really really like this church. I love the worship, the preaching, the people, so far not one negative thing has occurred. Most importantly I have felt the Spirit of the Lord moving there, and I feel Jon and I are growing closer to God and each other. It is something very special, to pray with your spouse, and to feel in the Lord's presence and know that He is real and He is there! I am feeling today drawn to possibly (BIG on the "possibly") audition to play acoustic guitar for the worship team. This is something WPBC is just about to start, so far they don't have any "live" music, they have a big choir and music with words on the screen. This morning on the way to work I felt a little tug in that direction, and also towards the youth group....doing something with them. I have honestly always felt the Lord pulling me towards the youth, and to get involved and do something! I will now ask ya'll to just pray for me about these things. Also please keep in your prayers for Jon and I to make good choices about where to live, and if we should build a house or buy a pre-existing one! Well there ya have it. I have bared my heart to you all this morning, my friends. Please be patient with me on blog postings, ya'll know I don't have internet at my home. I am still waiting to get the "professional" pics back from Mindy. When I do there will be more posts of pretty pics! I will also try to get copies to many of you of ones you will want to have. I love you all dear friends!

I will pray for you about the youth and guitar stuff, but honestly...does not surprise me one bit! God gives us gifts that fit into the niches and you have always had a great gift with youth, especially teens and young adults. YOu would be AWESOME!!!! YOu also are great on the guitar and coming from a girl with a family full of guitar player that means something....love you! I want pics! Thanks for being there for me and loving me...
