Man I need to update don't I? Lets see what has been going on in the Jones household. Daniel just got done with a week of midterms, and the Lord was so good to sustain us and especially me. It is hard to have your husband around but not have him completely do to school work and other studious variables. We have started meeting every Thursday with two other couples for a study on marriage by John Piper that we watch together after supper and then we spilt up women and men to be encouraging to one another. We (the ladies) are reading a book called Help Meet which has been very eye opening. I am finding how much my attitude and the mood of the house effects daniel and our household. The more joyful I am the more joyful he is, the more focused on Christ and pleasing Him being my main goal and not just pleasing Daniel, the happier I am and so is he.

We have also joined a new church, we felt the Lord calling us to a downtown church in Raleigh called Treasure in Christ Church (TCC). This church is a church plant which is another big reason we are felt called there since that is what Daniel wants to eventually do, and in a downtown setting. They have a huge heart for ministering to the poor and bridging racial barriers. It has been an adjustment for the best and a blessing.

This weekend we are heading to Decatur Alabama to see my grandparents. We haven't seen them since the wedding and they haven't been well physically. So we definitely consider this trip a blessing from the Lord, we weren't sure when we would be able to make it to see them, especially with the insanity of gas prices.

I have also been taking on pilates and yoga in my exercise time. It has been met with much discussion up here in Christianville, due to the mediation and eastern background in yoga. I have decided that maybe my call in life is to come up with a Christian yoga program. I love the stretching and balance that your body gets, i think that it could be great if your thoughts and mediation was on the Lord. Which while I do mine it is, thinking of your body as a temple pleasing to the Lord and taking care of it for Him. Anyway its just a thought....not completely thought out of course.

Thats whats been going on in our world.
