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.

As a church, as Christians, we should be greatly concerned that every child in america no matter where they live or how much money their parents make have an opportunity to have an outstanding education. It's so easy to remove o...

Checking My Gauge Pt 2

“We will experience fatigue in the midst of a demanding ministry unless time is set aside to rest and realign ourselves back to God and his original design" ― Wayne Cordeiro , Leading on Empty: Refilling Your Tank and Renewing Your Passion We're down to month to go before our family take our first sabbatical ever after 7 yrs in ministry. (I def don't recommend waiting that long) We're excited, we're ready, we anticipate hearing from the LORD and growing more as a family. exhale.... We're looking forward to rest. 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...
