Busy, Busy!!

Boy have we been busy since the last post!!

We have been to Florida, seen many of our wonderful friends there. We also had the opportunity of being in Disney for several days! Believe it or not it was a very relaxing time! I think it was a great decision going there. We already knew what was there, so we didn't run around trying to see everything at once. We spent lots of time relaxing and also enjoying the great food that was provided on the food plan their offering right now. We ate at places, we would have never had the opportunity to eat in otherwise. The Lord truly did bless us on our vacation.

We also were thrown into the ministry while on vacation. We had one women, who had cancer, when we first left they had given her two weeks to live. Well, she just about made it, and we rushed home trying to get the opportunity to see her one last time. Well, we did not make it home, but the Lord knew that before we ever left Texas to start vacation. Scott did have the chance to speak with her about her wishes before we left, just to show once again that the Lord knew!! Our church family did a wonderful job of being there for her husband and her also, while we were gone! I was so proud of them, they truly were a testimony about what a GREAT church family is suppose to do for each other. We also had another women who had to have open heart surgery while we were gone, and the doctors really did not expect her to make it through the surgery, but our God had other things in mind, and He was not done with her yet!! Today she was suppose to be coming home. What a miracle, I thank the Lord that he allowed me to see his mighty work. So our first week home it was spent at the funeral home and also the hospital. Then we took a small week of just catching up in the office, and we just couldn't continue with doing nothing, oh no, we needed more work. So we began really working on the Sunday School hall way and some of the class rooms. Scott is trying really hard to get it all finished before Missions Conference, which by the way a week from tomorrow. Just one more thing to add to our list. Those last minute things to take care of. I sometimes think that those are the hardest ones to take care of.

It may sound like I am complaining, but really I am grateful that the Lord has place me in the position of serving him. I have been given the opportunity to begin a Kings Kids program on Wednesday nights, and I am also teaching a Sunday School Class. It is great to be able to touch kids lives again. I have missed working with the teens, and I may be working with those who are a lot younger, but really I am looking forward to really building relationships with all of these kids. I have already seen two of the kids whom I believe are ready to seek the Lord for His salvation. It's really amazing that you can see the Holy Spirit working in their faces as they think about what your teaching them. What awesome gift God gives us in allowing us to have a part in showing someone the road that leads to HIM! I just pray that I don't fail, and that I don't ever back down from what they are truly needing to hear! Jesus loves them and He died for their small souls just as much as he did for those of us who are adults and we take it for granted! Except we come to him as a little child!

Enough rambling! Scott is taking pictures of the halls and class rooms that are being changed, so sometime in the near future, we will post them, and let y'all see what God has allowed us to do with his church!

For he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and they that are with him are called, and chosen and faithful. Revelation 17:14b
