Game day!

For our 15th wedding anniversary and for Brandon's 35th birthday, my mom and my sister got us tickets to the Alabama/ Mississippi State football game! Of course that was back in August so nobody knew MSU would be THIS good. 

We were afraid we weren't going to be able to go but at the last minute, it worked out and we decided to go. And boy am I glad we did! What a fun atmosphere that was! I texted an Alabama regular (shout out to Alison Johnson!) and she gave us great directions and advice for parking. We followed those directions to the T and found a great place to park. The walk up to the stadium was awesome. Everybody was dressed up in their Bama or state gear and it seemed like a pretty friendly rivalry. Now most people know that I am an LSU girl, but I am also a Bama girl and I definitely had that Crimson on! (On my first day of school when we moved here in 1985, a girl asked me who I was for- Alabama or Auburn. I looked around the class and saw team colors for both, and Alabama it was!)

From start to finish it was an awesome day! Alabama won, we had good seats, nice people around us, we were able to find our car when it was over. Just overall a great day together! 

Of course I have pictures!

Is He my “enough” while I am waiting in my hallway?

The title of today's blog post comes from a blog I read earlier this morning, called While Waiting.  It is very good and worth taking the time to read.  It's a question I have to ask myself- is God really enough?  If my "what if" or "worst case" happens, is God still enough?  I would like to say, well obviously yes!  But honestly, I can't say that every day.  He's still working on me... His grace is sufficient for me.  Thank you God for your grace and mercy!

I've been reading a lot of waiting and timing recently.  Waiting is not something that I do well.  When I get an idea in my head, I am ready to jump and do it, and I'll figure out the details along the way.  Sometimes this has worked pretty well and other times not so much.  In our 15 years of marriage, Brandon has taught me how to be patient.  I watch how he handles situations, how he prays about it, how he thinks things through, and how he asks the important questions (that I never think of).  Sometimes he drives me crazy when he is processing or thinking through something haha, but I know it's the right thing to do.

That being said, here are some other blogs or articles that have helped me while I am waiting in my hallway.  If you are like me, and you are in a time of waiting, I hope these blogs will help you as they have helped me.
