Getting ready for Christmas!

I've got almost all my sewing done for Sunday School! Last year I was sewing til midnight so I'd be done the next morning. That is not a good feeling. Plus, I've got a pretty good start on my shopping. Go me!

Mondays.......

Another weekend has gone by and now I'm back at work. It was good to be back at church with my Sunday School class. I love those girls! However, most of them were out sick along with several others so I a little bit wanted to get back in my car and head home until spring. But we had a great service! It was Pastor Appreciation Day so we had some special singers come in. They were good and the presence of God was so near and tears were flowing from eyes that I thought were closed................you just can't replace the peace of our Almighty God!

Everyone have a good day!

Back in the swing of things....

So we had a good weekend, and I kind of hated to come back home except I was missing my girl! She gave us a warm welcome home and has been a pretty good girl the past few days. The big news is she has slept in her own bed the past 2 nights! Let's give it up for Brenna Vaughan!

Parent teacher meetings were last night at Victory Academy. We went over what the kids have been working on and what is coming up for the 2nd quarter. We also found out that some times while Brenna is working at her desk she likes to sing. What's great is the teacher lets her! Mrs. Adams said sometimes she'll sing along with her and the other kids may or may not. I'm just so thankful for that school and her teachers!

Have a great day everyone!

FALL!!!!!!!!!

So Fall is here and I love it, except for the cold temperatures of course. ( My feet are officially frozen until spring.) But I love the feeling in the air that comes with fall.....ah! The decorating with pumpkins and mums and burning the caramel apple candles is just the best. Plus it means it's time for our annual weekender with our friends! YAY! No worries, just fun and laughter and rest for the weary.

We're also starting to get ready for the Christmas play and church which is going to be a blast. Also, we're trying something new as an outreach so I really hope it goes well. I'm feeling a little pressure, but I know God will bless it.

Have a happy weekend!

PS......Enjoy your game Tara!

We all need revival!

We were in revival last week, and while it was good, I'm just plain tired now. I will say that the sermon Sunday morning was just what I needed though. It was an old fashioned, tell it like it is, no sugar coating message on hell. Since Sunday morning I've just been thinking about all the good people who I know and love who are lost as can be and what can I do to help them? I believe more than ever that we are quickly approaching the return of our Saviour, and I don't want anyone to be left. So I would encourage all my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray earnestly for the conviction of the Holy Spirit to fall on our lost and loved ones and friends. As we know, unless He draws them, they will not find salvation.

That leads me to another thought from another message. Our salvation serves as more than a way to Heaven. It's our means of glorifying our Creator! He has so much for us and loves us so much! What a gift............
