Let the Good Times Roll…

My hope and inspiration for this blog is to encourage women to be all that they can be in the Lord.  It is from experience and a humble heart that I can say…God can change hearts and lives.  If He did it in me..he can do it in you!  I love to share from God’s Word and from what He has taught me. 

Most things are shared through everyday, ordinary life.  But probably not often enough do I share FUN!  Recently our fabulous neighbors hosted a surprise party for their 16 year old son.  Our children “live” at each other’s houses and we always feel at home with each other’s families.  As we celebrated with family, friends, kids, teenagers, the church youth group, it was a time to fellowship and enjoy one another in a wholesome celebration full of fun!  Thanks T & K for opening your home and being a great blessing!

So…while the “cool” teenage boys sat around…looking cool:

The girls had a blast:  At first, we weren’t too sure…

But then we loosened up:

And had some FUN:

Since this was a family event, even the husband joined in on the fun:

Laughter and fun refresh the soul and bond us together with joy.  Thank you Lord, for great family, friends and fun!

    BTW - I would love to be included for the chance at CSN shopping gift...I would surely get something for the house - and I really liked looking through the wall clocks. I would love to have an oversized one for our living room - for a wall that I really have nothing else for..and a big clock would be great. They are kinda pricey so $50 would be great!! Please enter me:) Thanks.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
