Faithful and True!

My Daddy used to sing a song in church - I don't remember all the words, but I remember the chorus. "He's been faithful, faithful and true."
This week, we're having VBS every night at our church. I had set my sights on potentially having 40 kids. I figured we would have around 25 and maybe we could encourage the kids to bring friends.
The first night, we had 42 kids! We have had great adult volunteers who are excited to be there.I know that some incredible things are going to happen this week in these kids lives! I can't wait until tomorrow's lesson in learning to trust Jesus! I'm so thankful because I know that we couldn't do any of this in our own strength but He is making all things possible!
The only way that any of this is possible is because
He's been faithful. Faithful and True!

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll! But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh. Or should I? Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city. College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days. Especially when the bank account is low. Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up? That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning. Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work. No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05. But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up. I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then? After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it. Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection. The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 m...
