gotta get back to my blog

so here's a post about a bunch of stuff - it'll sound like a bunch of rambling but I just wanted to get alot of this out there. besides if it didn't sound like rambeling you would wonder who took over this blog.

On the home front:
Bobby - he's good, working real good. praise the Lord he still has a job. everyday i am thankful that he has a job to go to. Now of course he is working WAY TO MANY HOURS. You know when one works over 60hrs a week the decent salary pay just doesn't seem so decent any more. But AGAIN I say thank you Jesus for Bobby's job! Now one crazy thing his company does is every 50,000 miles they give him another brand new car. good grief he has only had this one 2 1/2 years maybe less. it looks brand new and well in a few weeks there will be another new one in our drive way. But let's also say thank You Jesus for company cars. He is still busy in ministry: sports, men's , children's, worship, youth - yes he wears many hats. But he loves it that way. I honestly do not think I know anyone who loves to serve as much and with such excellance as my husband. you see we learned the secret many years ago - when you serve alot you get to see the Hand of God ALOT!!! now that's the good stuff. It's basketball season at church and this is what Bobby lovcs loves loves - the extra pound and extra years sure hasn't stopped this man from dunkin on the youngens. Him and Aaron are still playing alot of paintball. These 2 boys are crazy for this hobby.
Aaron - he is finishing up 6th grade this coming month. he is so excited to finally officially be upstairs in the youth group. Now he has been participating in that group over this past year alot; going street witnessing, youth camp, broom hockey, discipleship classes but he will be officially a Jr. higher in 1 month. he is growing so much he is aunt Tammy's size 5'1" and wears a size 9 shoe. I'm not ready for this!!!! My baby is gone and this monster crazy thing has taken his place. HHHEEELLLPPPP!!!!!! We are still homeschooling so guess what I TOO am excited that 6th grade is ending in 1 month. The summer will bring a couple of weeks for basketball camp, a week of youth camp, a trip to Montana, a trip to Arizona, a week of Youth Ministry outreach. 1st year serving in VBS and many trips to DLand, beach and prayerfully kisses for mom at the start of every day. WOW sounds exhausting to me - I think I'll stay home and read a book.
Geoffrey - he is great in need of a good bath but I'm waiting for his new shampoo from HSN to arrive. he really is such a gift to us. I love my Geoffrey!
Me - I'm doing the same thing as always, anything God will let me do. I'm learning alot from the Word these days. Still studying the life of Moses inductively. Should be finished with this study in about 2 months. Crazy to think it's been 2 years. Exodus / Numbers and now Deuteronomy. yea makes sense 2 years.
I'm crazy busy with VBS prep. LOVE IT!!! My Favorite time of year. Just finished recording the training DVD for all 15 new praise and worship songs. Great stuff this year. The choreography was real easy this year. Thank you Jesus!. Now the fun begins of teaching the 11 member worship team. 1st practice this Sunday. We will be posting the training DVD on You Tube this year so you can go check it out if you want. I'll let you know when that happens. we decided to do it this way this year because i now send the DVD's to 8 different churches so this just seemed to make sense. It's so great to see all that God is doing through His vision for worship at our church and to think that I get to be the part that i am just blesses my socks off. A little story about worship from this past Sunday. So I was teaching the kids Chris Tomlin's Exalted. when we did it with the music and of course if you know the song you know how powerful it is. This little girl 1st grade, is sitting on her knees, she stops doing the hand motions and she closes her eyes and lays her open hands palms up on her knees and sinks about 2 inches down, as if she exhaled . She just sat there and sang her heart heart out and praised our Lord. NOW THAT IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO. I began to cry and just with such a grateful heart that I get to see the fruit of ministry so fast. To watch a child connect with the Lord on that level that most adults wont ever allow themselves to do is such a great joy and blessing.

The house - well i'm hoping painting is on the horizon for the inside walls, carpet cleaned, and finish getting baseboards done.

That's been on my summer list for 3 years so who knows what will happen.
