MY CHURCH

Oh how I hate not being at church.....but thank you for having church online.  God can move at home if you let him.  This mornings service was so great and  I love being able to hear the word.  Visit my church online at lifetab.org you can hear older services and choir songs or if  you are at home during service time you can listen live.  Can't wait to be back in service I am trying for Wednesday!!!!

Thank You sisters!

I have such a wonderful sis-in-law and sister!!! Julie watched the puppies while we were in Dallas, fixed and delivered an awesome basket from the church, put flowers in a vase at my house and even cooked to dinners and put them in the freezer for us next week. In the midst of all of this she worked, took care of her own kids and even packed to go on their family vacation! Thank you Julie for all you do! As for my wonderful sister she drove to Dallas and watched my kids for 3 days. This was a big help she had a total of 5 kids and I am sure it was crazy, but it gave me the piece of mind that my kids were ok. She tried to come take care of me at home but I don't think I could handle 5 kids. Thank you both for taking such good care of me and my family!

Thank you Sis Michelle for the wonderful supper! The kids loved every bite and my taste buds came alive! It was sooo wonderful. Thank you for taking the time out to fix us supper, I know you are busy having the extra children. You are such a wonderful friend and I really appreciate you!

Introducing.....

WOW!

WoW Thank you Bro. Holley for such an awesome message tonight! We listened online tonight and all we could do was keep saying AMEN AMEN and boy could we feel the passion and excitement in the air! I can't wait to be back in service! We can't wait to see where this mission is gong to take us to! And Can't wait to be used by God in whatever way we can be used. Use me Lord Use Me I want to be everything you want me to be! We are behind you 100% ready and willing! Thank you for preaching your heart for Wichita Falls! I can't wait to hear the other 27 points. It makes me want to get the ball going, and my brain is going ninety miles per hour! WOW! AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!

Doing well

Surgery went well and I am doing well. We are staying the night in Dallas to stay close....just in case. We will head home to WF on Thursday. The pain is manageable and I am resting a lot. Todd is taking really good care of me.....I think I might become pretty rotten over the next few weeks. Thank you all for you prayers, God surely has answered them.

We are home!

Well we are finally home! I have soooo much to blog about but I am soooooo tired so I will give a little info now and all the details later!

1. trip down was great and the best part when we all got there was.....Texas district had answered Madison's prayers....She had wanted to resubmit her camp form with her pastors name.....well Bro. Crosswhite had already listed the Holley's as our pastor. The kids were so excited!

2. camp was great! the services were great! the kids were great! everything was awesome! kids learning bible verses and and getting the holy ghost!

3. Most importantly was my niece Lauren got the holy Ghost this week! And the story that goes with this is awesome!

We had a blast and are really sleepy so we are hitting the hay early and will hopefully post tomorrow some great pictures and a bunch more details!

Looking forward to a great weekend in the Lord with our new Pastor and also Bro. and Sis. Andrew Elms being home!!!!!

We are going to have a wonderful time. I think I have everything packed and in the van! I am not taking my computer this year so my blog will be at rest this week! I look forward to catching up over the weekend! Love you all!

Happy Fathers Day!

I want to say a very happy fathers day to the best dad in the whole world! Daddy I really really love you! Thank you for everything you do! You have trained us up in a Godly home and taught us how to live a Godly life. Thank you for being a wonderful example to raise our children by. Even when you said you would "squash me like a pea" I know you stilled loved me and that was your way of getting my attention! I love you and Happy Fathers Day!

To my wonderful irreplaceable husband! I love you so much! You are such a wonderful father to our children and such a Godly example. Thank you for loving us so much! You have always been here for us through the ups and downs. For the many late nights and funny early mornings. All the laughter and even a few tears...You are the best father I could have ever asked for to raise our children! We love you soooooo much! Happy fathers Day!

Big Day!

Today is the big day......The Holley's are finally here!!!! and hehehehe we got to see them tonight!! We enjoyed visiting with them it was so exciting seeing them. I really wanted to jump up and down with excitment when I saw Sis. Karla....I refrained and kept my cool....and just ran and hugged her! LOL When Madison first saw Bro. Holley she was just beaming and ran to hug him! Yeah!!!! They are here!!!!

Busy Busy!!!

All is well just really busy getting ready for youth camp next week. We are taking 11 kids down to camp in Lufkin. It is going to be a blast. I have been cleaning house, sewing curtains and bulletin board trim for my sister, and trying to catch laundry up, and pack for Mason, Madison and I. We will be gone all next week. I will try to take my computer with me and blog a little, but we may be to busy having fun! My sister is gonna owe me big on the sewing part I have already spent 31/2 hours on it and probably have 2-3 more. But that is what sisters are for.....I guess! Well If I don't blog for a few days its because of camp! Oh and we get to see the ELMS!!!!! Love ya'll keep us in your prayers for a safe travel!

Well......

I can now say welcome home!!!! I am so excited that we have our new pastor coming home next weekend!!! We are blessed to call the Holley's our new pastor! God has been so good to us during this transition. But I am glad this is finally over! I have been raised in the UPC and have never had to choose a pastor, except for moving to another place. I can truly say that God has ordained this vote of our new pastor. I had been told be many to listen to God and that you would just know it was right. Well it differently felt right the day they "tried out". But over the last few weeks we have had others preach and even the Henry's preached today.....The Henry's were awesome and would make anyone a great pastor.....but as others had said you would just know when it was right! And Pastor and Sis Holley it is RIGHT!!!! Welcome home! I know it is hard to leave a work you have put soooooo much into and we are praying for the Lord to send them someone just as awesome as the Holley's to just pick up and run were you guys leave. We can't wait for ya'll to get here see you in 6 more days!

WINDS OF CHANGE!

Nothing like a good west Texas storm to stir up some dust and put excitement in the air! We are in store for some storms tonight with up to 80mph winds and hail! But in the mist of a storm its amazing the calm that comes when God is in control. Tonight the Churches storm has ended we voted in our new pastor and his wife! Like any storm God is always in control. And He has showed the church we have been in His hands through the last month. We are excited about what God is going to do for Life Tabernacle! The excitement is in the air and we can't wait for our new Pastor to get here! I know after talking to my pastors wife they have not told the people they work with yet. So until this weekend I will not post their names.....unless they comment an its okay on my blog!!! So Roxana I'm sorry I guess I will have to keep you waiting unless you email me LOL!

The winds of change are blowing!!!
