What a great weekend! I am sooo thankful! I have been so excited all week from Tony Cecil's sermon and the reminder of great our God is and living like i believe it. We had the most excellent fellowship on Friday night, even better than the Alice SPrings Chick. with Lisa and Ernie Banks and getting excited with them about their Acts 29 church plant in Savannah, Georgia, in about 40 days. We had the privlige to help out at the Pumpkin Festival in downtown Frankfort at the Venue and 'see' the people of Frankfort. Then we finally transitioned from being a one car family to a two car family when Steve found a great deal on a work van in just the right time in Lexington last night! Then another encouraging sermon this morning about God being glorious and how HE fills all our needs and the need to turn from being a man-pleaser. A quote from last week says "What you believe impacts how you live" and "When GOd is small people and problems are big. When God is big people and problems are small." So true! Then to top it all of, at this point, had a great lunch at Chili's with the fam, Darren, Isaiah, and the Gambino's (how can anyone even spend a moment with them and not be excited about Jesus???). I am very thankful for God's grace and a weekend that made me feel like am me, the person God made me, and what He has made me to enjoy!
I enjoy God's provisions and the blessing of knowing HE cares. I enjoy the times of watching my kids grow, enjoy life, and even enjoy being little missionaries as they did at the Pumpin Fest. I enjoy car rides to civilization with just my husband, where we can talk or just enjoy the music. I truly enjoy being in fellowship, sharing hearts, with my family in Jesus, and feeling that 'starving feeling' satisfied.
May this attitude of gratitude carry me through this week of schooling and loving my family. May we all be mindful that God does not sleep or slumber and He is ALWAYS at work around us. May we always have willing hearts to join in!
I feel the joyful expectancy come back! What's next, Lord?
so glad we were able to have lunch with you all :]] i am so excited for the oportunity for you all to have your own home!! yay!!
