Weekend Update

The past two weekends have been full of all kinds of fun!

The weekend of the 12th was not only the first weekend of deer season (Unfortunately, we've got no meat in the freezer this time around.  You'll get it next time, honey!), but it was also Fresh Grounded Faith here in Springfield.  If you've not heard of it, Fresh Grounded Faith is a women's conference hosted by Jennifer Rothschild.  It's a fantastic Kingdom-focused event put on by area churches that partner together.  Jennifer goes all over for these events.  Anyhow, each event has special guests and this time around was Tim Hawkins (hilarious!), Abby Rike (Biggest Loser Season 8), and Michael O'Brien.

We're blessed to not only be Jennifer's hometown, but the church I go to is also her home church.  She and her husband were even the teacher's of one of the college department Sunday morning classes Daniel and I went to back in the day.  We're so thankful for them and their example of love and godliness!

My friend, Tanya, and I were Abby's (and her mom) hostess/driver for the weekend.  What fun!

L to R: me, Paula (our women's minister and fabulous lady), Paula (dear friend - we used to teach together in the youth department), and Tanya (a new fabulous friend and co-hostess for FGF)
So thankful for the multitude of godly women God has placed in my life!

Speaking of great women, my dear friend, Marilyn, came all the way from Van Buren to go to the conference and stay the night at my house.  So thankful for her and that she could make it up here!

Now for this past weekend.  It was filled with youth and more fun as we had our annual Engage Weekend (typically known as Disciple Now :)  ).  It was great to have a group of senior girls who "get it" and are seeking to honor and glorify the Lord.  Thanks, Lord, for the opportunity to serve you this way!


Here's to serving in the name of Jesus and having fun!

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Fall Fun

I'm still alive, friends.  :)  It's really not on purpose that I post once a month, I promise!

Last month Katie and I took Ky to one of our local pumpkin patches.  So fun!





Fun and family - that's what we're up to these days!
