New year .. new ideas.. new perspectives.. ='s new blog name and new blog spot. The name Mix Matched Perfection came to me about 2 years ago.. I felt like the Lord was telling me that this described me and Bryan (Dempsey). We truly are mix matched in many ways.. but add the Lord and His perspective to this relationship and that brings in His perfection.
We look forward to the springtime this year as it will represent to us coming out of winter months in our personal lives. Both Bryan and I have started work out regiments and are determined to eat healthy.. We realize that wanting to have another baby at this time in our lives means we must be in the best shape of our lives so was can keep up with a new baby that has alot of needs and energy. We also need to keep up with our ever energetic Kieva!
Kieva is in kindergarten at the number 5 school in the state. He told me today that he wishes he could take a break from school for the rest of his life! He is doing great academically but we continue to seek the Lord to see if He wants us to homeschool next year..Kieva starts his first extra curricular activity next week.. volleyball club!! It happens once a week at our parks recreational center.. we will see how that goes!
This will be our second year on Oahu working with YWAM. In this season I have the awesome privilage of mentoring the DTS staff girls, being the Kids Club director, heading up our intercession times on the base and overseeing the prayer room. I also have the privilege of overseeing our little boutique on base.
Bryan is the head of the landscaping crew and has 10 young people on his team. He continues to be the listener to many of the guys on the base. He is so good at reminding all of us that we are called to love each other, to forgive quickly, and to shower one another with grace and mercy.
We feel blessed to be a part of this training base that has been a part of sending out so many long term missionaries and continues to do so.
So bring it on 2011.. we are ready, excited, and have wrapped ourselves in the joy of the Lord.... because that is truly our strength.
