Worship at FBC

Ok so yesterday Karl and I went to worship together. It was great we were in there before the music even started. We got to hear Jason do the announcements and we stayed until the very end. I now understand about the traffic issues that I never saw because I was there at 8 and did not leave until 12:30ish.

Wow what a difference to sit in there and just be able to worship. It was refreshing and much needed. We will get back to volunteering but for now we are going to just worship.

"My God is mighty to save" wow what a song. Oh I loved it and I know HE loved it.

Last Summer Blast

I forgot to post that Madie turned 8 years old. We did not do a party this year but did take her out to dinner and of course she had to have her best buddy over, Izzy! The Chapman's bought them matching outfits for her birthday. They looked so cute!!

Autumn, Bethany, Madie, Emily and Karly a day with cousins!
Reagan and Nicolas big 2!
Madie and Mommy relaxing!
This was while Madie was still happy tubing right before the big flip.

The girls and I had one last summer blast before school started. Here are a few pictures we took while visiting the family.

The twins turned 2 so we got to be at their birthday party.

My brother Rick got a new boat so he took us for a boat ride it was so relaxing, just what I needed.

The next day we took all the kids out to the water park/amusement park. We opened the park up at 11 and closed it down at 8. So much fun.

Then back to reality for us. School started and my first day at CLC started. We had a great first week. I am so going to love my new schedule. It was so nice to come home each day and do homework with the girls and start on dinner. It is the little things that make you so happy. It felt good for my family to be my main focus once again. Tomorrow Karl and I are going to go to worship together. We are going to be able to sit through the whole service. I can't wait!!

Wise and Foolish Builders

Remember the fun song:
"The wise man build his house upon a rock,
the wise man build his house upon a rock,
the wise man build his house upon the rock
the rains came down and the floods came up
But the house on the rock stood firm".
The foolish man build his house upon the sand
the rains came down and the floods came up
and the house on the sand went splat!!!!

I loved that song when I was in children's church and I still will sing it in preschool worship.
My quiet time this morning was from Matthew 7:24-25 which is Jesus speaking about the wise and foolish builders.

I have heard this all my life and I knew what it meant but last night I watched Larry King and saw it, the Chapman's are living it. They have build a firm foundation and the rains and the floods have come and will continue to come but they are who Jesus was speaking of "the wise who build on the rock".

Don't you love God's word, it is so amazing!
