Love Overboard

I miss blogging. When I have a little time to sit and write it's very therapeutic for me. I haven't had the time, and even though I'm not writing as often as I would like, I appreciate those of you who are still sticking around. Thanks! Makes me feel as if I'm not talking to the air. (lol) But seriously, thank you.. When I first began this blog there was so much to share and talk about, (and still is) but, now I'm sitting back wondering, can I say that? Is that too much information? Naaa, def. cant talk about that. Yup, this is real life for us. The funny camp stories don't go on, the cute kids who use to love being around you begin to pull away and treat you like an absolute stranger, the families that invited you into their space and you invited them into yours began to become enemies as you learn of the slander, and backbiting that's taking place outside your presence.

We want REST to be A primary responsibility for us. We want to model rest before our daughter, the kids in the community and most importantly, we want to honor the Lord in our service and we know we cant do that without proper REST. One of the many, difficult ( I say difficult because we've failed in this many times) lessons I've learned over 7 years within inner city ministry is that, while people needs are great, and t...

The Promise

One of the many things that I am most passionate about is women mentoring women!! My goodness!! It is just something that burns, and makes my heart beat so fast to hear stories, and readings of older (mature or more seasoned moms as I like to call them) women teaching the older women about who our GOD is! Today I had lunch with a more seasoned mom from our church and I cannot even explain the treasures that were given to me. It was such a RICH hour fill with tears, laughter and much Jesus!! I loved every minute of it!!!!! Anyway, one of the many questions that she asked me were, how was bible study and our time with the teen girls going. First, of all, let me just say how glad I was that she asked that question...today my heart ( my mind, emotions and will) was just in the unknown about some things.. Anyway, I was praying the other day and I specifically asked the LORD to teach me what to think about all this.. I submit to HIS authority in serving him through serving these girls, ...
