So many feelings

I guess I am kind of a feely person anyway. I have so many going on right now. Praying about a situation, having an opportunity and by faith saying no. Then trying not to second guess your decision.

The end of school this year has been trying, but good. The uncertainty of our future is always interesting. God just wants us to trust Him one step at a time. He is so faithful!

Have a blessed night.

Jacob's Birthday Party

Jacob's 10th Birthday

We had a blast at J's party. He has been waiting for this for a long time. It was a good one. Lots of wild screaming children. (not really.) Just fun children. It is great to see your sweetie having a good time on his day.

Long time, no blog

It is the Monday after Easter. Yesterday was great. The day that marks what sets Christianity apart from all other religions. Jesus not staying dead when He was crucified, but rising from the grave. Bro. Ken preached a great message about Joseph of Arimathea. About how he secretly followed Jesus, but not until Jesus died did he come forward to show it. (By asking for his body to bury.) There was much more to his message than that, but that is a small part of it. It is always so strange having a much larger crowd on Easter than the rest of the year. I want to smile and tell the visitors, in love, "See what you are missing?" Not us...not the people in church, but the fellowship with other believers and worshipping God with His church. I guess planting seeds is always part of the plan. Praise God that they come on Easter.

I start giving the Wida (English as a second language test). We are only testing 5 students, so hopefully it will go quickly. We are on the downhill slide. Yea!

I have a lot to do, but those things are the last of this year.

Have a great week!!

So many things going on....

A couple of months ago I wrote about waiting. Well, now I am in the weeds. (an old restaurant phrase:) ) The last two weeks have been very good, but very wild. February 24th my choir went to district festival and did great. They were so proud, and I was proud for and of them.

Matt went and worked with the choir in West Memphis that Wed. getting ready for revival which started Sunday before last. The day he took his choir to district festival in Hernando, I had my sick girl with me and went on our church bus to Madison to the Christian Performing Arts Festival. Nana and Chuck were so great to serve us. Matt left for West Memphis before I got back from Madison. The snow came and made it where I couldn't go to WM until Sunday afternoon. The revival was great. Everyday I drove back and forth to Potts Camp for revival that night. We were treated so well. Wonderful hotel room, being taken out to dinner each night. We definitely did not deserve the royal treatment we received, but we were so thankful for it. We got home from WM on Thursday and were so glad to see our babies. Mamaw was so wonderful to be with them while we were gone. She is the best.

This week has been pretty basic. We had a great women's conference Sat. and services yesterday. We are really looking forward to next week, Spring Break!! Not completely sure what we are doing, but sure it will be great.

Hope all is well with all of you. My prayer is that we will all listen and hear from God what He wants us to know.

Church was awesome today!

Church was great today. It is amazing when you can really feel that God is totally there in worship. Bro. Ken wrapped up the series on Fireproof, the movie, this week. God is so awesome. His love and mercy for us is unbelievable. I can't believe what He can really do in people's lives, but it is amazing to see when it is visible. I can't believe how much better my relationship with Matt is, with my kids, with God.

That was an incredible movie. Matt and I have never really been to the lawyer point, but we have felt like it. I don't know how our marriage would be now if we didn't have Jesus in the middle of it. It isn't always the most fun for me to think about what he needs at the moment...like I might want a back rub, but if he is tired or sick, or busy, then I wait. The selfish part of me wants what I want now. That is not how to have a good marriage. There is a better way. When God gets hold of your marriage, it can be awesome.

Good week

This has been a very full and good week. The girls are getting ready to go to district on Tuesday and then next weekend is totally full and crazy. It has been very trying at times with different issues, but God is so good. He has really given me a peace about how He is going to be with me through anything and everything. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
