school

the grandchildren all went back to school, caleb couldnt go as in ellington we have no pre-k, he will go right in to kindergarten next year. journey is in first and christian 3rd and destiny 5th and justice my first entered into 6th grade at the middle school. alicia wanted to walk him to the bus and he said he is in middle school now, what will the high schoolers think? where has the time gone. i am glad i am a young grandmon, cause im already tired. christian had his 8th birthday here last sunday and this yard was packed with kids and adults. he got so much stuff, i have never seen any of the kids get as much as he got at one time. some of the adults even jumped in the pool after the kids bombed them with water balloons. it was a fun fun day. well one more day of work and off we go camping as we havent done anything this summer and the kids have reminded us, so hope the nights arent to cold. please pray for the owner of the campground we go to, is name is brian he is about 35 and his son who is always there with him just died of an overdose. 15 years old. my heart hurts for this family. this was there only child and i didnt even know so i could pray. after all without gods grace where would i be? god is a good god and i just ask for your prayers for this family. god bless

sundays service

pastor kris preached his second service, it continued on ''love wins'' he has been staying with the mesereaus and now they have invited his wife and four children to come stay with them also. praise god he will have his family here with him. what touched me was when one of our moms stood up to give a testimony about how god had provided the money for school clothes, she was so thankful and all she owed was 100 and she could handle that. well pastor kris says i will give you 50 of that will any one match me? that started a mega blessing from many that rolled into this young moms hands. she couldnt stop crying and i had to hold back the tears. it trickles down from the head and i have never seen this happen before, i have always believed if we all helped each other in times of need there would never be a need not met in our body. i stand in awe of gods faithfullness. to god be all the glory...............i have felt tired lately, going out here and there for the food pantry and lisa goes out to, but we havent had any time to go together as we are both working now on different schedules. i feel like it is settling in to natural now, it cannot always be the mountain top. god is working on me in thta area. work is good i have met some really interesting teenagers. one of the instructors that has been there a long time says i am buiding quite a reputaion and the kids love to have me as there instrutor. well thats a god thing, please keep me in prayer as in the fall i will be doing advanced training to also be a classroom instuctor. this is like twice the work and you know how hard i had to work for this. god help me, please... i like this age group. just praying to keep level headed leading 40 at a time in a classroom setting and keeping them focused on what i will be teaching. ugh. i want to do this so i will do the best i can. praise god for the opportunity.

pastor kris young

sunday was our first official service with our new pastor, i have to say it went well. he preached on love and how it isnt a choice it is a command/ a week before one of our church members gave a word from a vision god gave her and after she said come to the alter and ask god which wall you have that needs to come down. i got up there and i said god whats my wall concerning our new pastor? that was the question and i immediately knew he asked me it back. of course i knew the answer. i didnt trust, and i didnt want to have to put my guard up so i immediately surrendered and told god i would trust him and give pastor kris a chance, and i did. i always feel like you cant be who you are , when the pastor comes. in the past i felt a lot of critiism for being me, although i knew my heart towards god was as good as i could get, that was all god wanted, i dint want to see us all come this far inour wak to take steps backwards. and he said i am here to guide you into the things god has for you. he said he isnt to be puffed up we are not to be puffed up but jesus is to be lifted high. so far so good..................i learned a long time ago and have proven it with being in the same church i dont come for the people or the pastor i come for jesus. that has to be the only reason, and i will say i have learned vital things form every pastor, i had alot to learn. so i would have to thank every one of them. god knew what he was doing. as he always does. well i look forward to the coming time in our body with anticipation and excitement. praise god,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
