Inspirational Notes

Monday, April 30th, 2012
Well hello there! I have been MIA lately. I have come to accept that there are seasons in our life. I have been going through a season where blogging wasn’t on my list of top priorities. Do I love my site and miss it? YES! But I have been super SUPER busy with life! So much has changed for me this year and the biggest change is ME! God has really been working in my life and transforming me to be more like his image :) I am a work in the making and it’s not something that coRead More....

Blessing Bags

Friday, February 24th, 2012
During our week of fasting at our church we did several ministries. One of them was we all donated items to make Blessing Bags. The requested items were: toothbrush, deodorant, baby wipes, socks, water, granola bar, scarf etc. At the end of the fast once all the items were assembled in a gallon zip lock baggy, each member walked out of church with one bag. The purpose of the Blessing Bags was to give a homeless individual a little blessing in a bag!!! I ended up with 2 bags since that Sunday weRead More....

A better me in 2012

Sunday, January 8th, 2012
My journey being a Christian is not an easy one. The devil finds ways to creep into my life and I fall into his tricks. I always bounce back and get back back on my journey. This year I decided not to make any New Years Resolutions but rather make a life style change. Once I decided this everything has been falling into place for me. After battling leaving my old church that I wasn't "getting fed" spiritually at I found an amazing church that I get over fed every Sunday. Every year for one weRead More....

So I have been working on my bucket list since there is still so much I want to do and i'm still pretty young :). Item #1 is to start my bucket list on paper and not just in my head!!!!

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011
Well good morning and Happy Tuesday!!!! Last week was our VBS and boy was it a long one! By day 4 I was the last soldier standing....all my volunteers, with the acception of a few, bailed on me!

Anyhoo, we did a brief flip book of Moses splitting the sea.....I said brief because they all knew we were having a water balloon fight. They came in for the evening ready for the fight, not our activity!!!!!! Here are some picRead More....

VBS Day 3- Jesus Calms the Sea

Thursday, June 30th, 2011
Last night we learned about Jesus calming the sea. I had all the kids sit down like they were in a boat and sway from side to side on certain parts of the story. My dad was the nominated one to read, I am not good at public speaking.....even in front of kids :) They made a little sea in the bag that they could squish and feel the sea moving. They also made "waves" out of streamers and a popsicle stick. Here are some pictures of our evening. Read More....
