2008 in Review

2008 has come and gone already.  It sure seemed to go by quickly…sometimes a little too quickly!
January
The year started out with me beginning to work on Power Lab VBS (Ah Ha!).  I was also homeschooling Michael.  We were pretty on top of our schooling and things were going pretty smoothly at the time.  I was [...]

Amazed

This past weekend, I found a journal of mine that had 12 entries in it.  The pages were all messed up and I decided since I had this really cute journal sitting around the house collecting dust, I would transfer all that information into my new one.  (I have a ton of cute journals laying [...]

Accountability Partner/Mentor

Have you ever had this dream…you know it’s there, but the picture isn’t quite clear?  You know there’s something special there, but you just can’t quite remember all the details?  You can still feel those “feelings” you had when you first had the dream, but now you can’t quite remember how that dream went?
How do [...]

Worship

As you may (or may not) know, I sing on our church’s Praise and Worship team once or twice a month, depending on the schedule.
Today I was on the schedule, which means a practice on Saturday morning for Sunday services.  Saturday morning was met with me bringing all 4 boys to practice (something I don’t [...]

Calling

Last night as I was preparing for Bible Study (we are reading Beth Moore’s book, Get Out Of That Pit [...]

Sunday

Yesterday as I was getting ready for church, my phone rings.  It was one of the Sunday School teachers calling to let me know that her son was sick and she wasn’t going to be able to make it into class.  She wasn’t sure if she should call me (since I have been covering for [...]

Prayer Covering needed!

I have never been hit so hard by Satan’s attempts to drag me down as I have these past couple of days! I know it has to do with my involvement in what God wants me to do…Praise & Worship, Teaching Sunday School, & VBS…and with Kevin getting involved…Sound team.
Michael is showing signs of [...]

Can I talk VBS?

I cannot begin to describe how excited I am about the VBS 2008 that I’ll be helping in running!
We have already decided on our theme…it’s Power Lab by Group! Discover Jesus’ Miraculous Power. WOW! Just being on that site and reading others’ ideas on decorating and it just ignites something down inside me!!
I [...]

People
