A Big Thank You

I just wanted to take a moment and say a quick thank you. Chris works with a bi-vocational pastor of a small church on the Northside and expressed an interest in getting a couple other smaller churches together and have a speaking event. Well the idea formed and was called Vertical Thinking. Chris spoke with one of our dear friends Jerry who flew down for the event. There was also another pastor from a church here in Jax. The event went great and was a huge blessing to the churches and so I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped and to our S.S. class for coming alongside this other church with us and offering up their Friday night. We hope to do something like this again soon!

Florida/Georgia Game

Our friends Jeff and Kristina invited us over to watch the game. The Gators won so at least MOST of the people were happy! Here are some pictures of the event! Our friends the Evans' and the Swains were there also. Ava Swain after she had "picked" some early oranges off the orange tree
My favorite 2 year old!

Ethan coloring- he kept himself well entertained!

Ethan jumped up on the couch with Jeff while he snuck a peak at the FSU game :) That game wasn't a happy ending unfortunately!

The mommas and Ava




Here's a video of Ava and the oranges....check out her "juggling" skills. I had to turn the video in the middle so hopefully you can still see it!

And we have a President!

Right now I am in desperate prayer for our country. This is a sign of the times and I hope that this means Christ will come that much sooner. But for now I am lifting up our new President in prayer because I know that is what Christ would have me to do. It does not in any way suprise God and I take great comfort in that!

Jaguars vs. Browns

We were blessed last week to have been given tickets to the Jags/Browns game! I actually had NEVER been to a Jags game. (everyone always makes fun of me!) So I was excited to finally go. We did leave early though cause the Jaguars were playing stinky!!! They should've won! It was fun though. Check out some pictures- not bad seats!

Free Fallin

Okay so there's a small group of us JM fans (ok well maybe just 2! You know who you are and we will drive hours together just to see him play), I know the rest of the world thinks were nuts- but this is an awesome cover of that song and no matter how many crazy blonde airheads he dates, I will probably still listen just for the simple fact that he's talented.

Our verse to claim where God has placed us....

At this point in our lives God has placed us working with couples and I really feel like this is our challenge ......I'll let the word talk....

Romans 12:9-13

"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality."

My 25th Birthday
