So I have decided that I am no good at this!! I really want to keep this up, and am so inspired when I read the blog of a friend, so with that I say thank you to all of you that do keep it up!!
There have been a lot of changes in the Trent house for the year of 2010 but I have to say that the biggest is that we have bought our first home!! To me this comes with many scary thoughts!! I LOVE the idea of owning my own home, but the thought of having to be the person responisble if something happens is just scary!! We do not always have the extra money to spend on the things we "want" and that makes it hard, although we do always have the things we need!!
Anyway I will get some pictures of the home on here!! My goal for the new year is going to be to keep up with my blog, lets see if I can do it!!

looking into the future
This is from our first MarriedLife event! It was the coldest night of the year, but was so worth it!
Kris and I, like most couples struggle with our day to day lives. We have found an amazing church to call home, with amazing people that we call family. This place is by no means your traditional church. Yes, it is a baptist church and we worship the most amazing God that any could, but the church focus's on family. There is not much that is done that is not done with the family in mind. Rather then having a traditional Wednesday night service we have Pointe Groups, also known as small group bible studies. These are done in different homes, and consist of about 3-4 couples per group. We meet for 3 months and then take a month off! This quarter we were offered a group taught by our paster for married couples. Let me say that there are 4 Pointe Groups and all are lead by great people who could teach me so much, but when I saw the one for married couples on the list I knew instantly that we would be attending that one.
We meet for the first time last night, Kris and I were the only couple there. I have to admit that I was SO excited. From the outside looking in our marriage is great, and yes it is great, but we still need a lot of work and we need to learn how to put God in the center of it. I think that Kris and I both still learning to put God first and to seek what his desires are for us. We had a great meeting with Tony and are both ready for next weeks meeting. Tony sent us home with things to work on, and we have to go back next week and be accountable for them. I am truly excited to see what we can gain from these meetings. I love to go to small groups and learn about God and his love for us, but I have to admit that there are times that I leave and am more confused then when they started, or I can leave and not see where I fit in to the mix of what was discussed. But last night it was personalized for Kris and I, it was what we needed and we both gained so much from it!
God is so great to know what we need and when we need it. He placed us at River Pointe at the perfect time and with the perfect people. Each person in that church had richly blessed us, each individual and as a family! I look forward to all that God has in store for us there!
