Tara Leigh Cobble is an amazing artist and she loves the Village! :)
She is a singer and also writes books. I read her first, Here's To Hindsight and I loved it. I couldn't put it down. It was the first book I had read since college :) I'm 30 by the way!
ANYWAY, go to her blog and read what she wrote about The Village and Matt :)

SO.......2007

So, I realize I like to start these with the word "So"....not sure why except I'm usually uncomfortable with these anyway. Anyway, yesterday I was reading a paper that Steve Chandler gave me the other night. It had a scripture on it saying why we should share our testimonies of what God has done in our life B/c they bring hope to people . I know I am filled with hope when I hear other people's. I usually think that people don't care about things like that but I guess I shouldn't be quite so much like that. So, I'm making up for it in a big way :) I'm going to be giving it to a large group of people in a couple months at Recovery at the Village. I'm pretty nervous, but I know if God wants me to do it, he will give me the words. It was really funny b/c the other day Sage had a friend over to play. I decided to sit down and write a few notes on my testimony. Well, an hour later I had pretty much finished it....rough draft of course, but still I was surprised that I did that much. The Lord has done more than I can imagine for me during the wonderful yet painful year of 2007. Tears were shed but they were tears from Godly sorrow, not worldly sorrow. The Lord also blessed me with several friends to go through everything together! I really do feel blessed for that. I truly feel like a new Tarrah, a new creation in Christ, the old is gone, the chains have been taken away!

Karaoke fun :)

Karaoke Fun :) This is Stacy & I....somehow Beth & Christa dodged all pictures! I think we were singing Every Rose Has It's Thorn :) I think we were celebrating the end of our Step Study!!!! Yeah Us!!!!

SO......what to write as my first blog......

This past week was fun.........Friday night Sage got to dress up as a rockstar for a birthday party and she was sooo cute! Here's a picture :) Then, on Saturday, my friend, Stacy, and I met the Drews to help fix up a woman's home who is in need. We had a great time painting and killing roaches, haha! Anyway, that's all for now I guess :)
