Mission Arlington

Thursday Jim, our youth and our Pastor (Jim's dad) went to Mission Arlington. The youth had such a good time, I thought I would post some of the pictures from their trip. God is good. They were able to experience a range of service-related activities: Rainbow Express, which is like a backyard Bible club, choosing and delivering furniture to a family that had no furniture in their apartment, and clearing out a storage room.

If I can talk my son, Jordan, into writing his thoughts I'll ask him to guest blog.


These are the kids that they met at the apartment complex where they did a Rainbow Express.


This little girl took a liking to Jordyn. When it was time to go back, Jordyn didn't want to leave. I can see why.



Here's Dell helping the girls take a couch out of the truck. Notice the other boys - Jake, Tristyn and Jordan just standing by...or is this picture not an accurate representation? Since I was not able to get off work, I'll have to get comments from those that were there!

Wednesday night Jim read Matthew 25:31-46 and gave a short devotional on being Jesus. I confess...I am incredibly proud of our youth! They truly were the hands and feet of Jesus!

Post Script to Holy vs. Hypocritical

I thought I should define why I am lonely because for those that know me, I am very blessed. I have a wonderful husband, amazing kids, and a loving, supportive family but there are times when a woman needs a woman friend with whom she can confide. I had that and lost it. Never have I felt more secure in a friendship than with her. Then there was a turning point and it all changed. When I look back and try to figure out what went wrong, I go over scenarios in my head and what-ifs but I always come up with the fact that it really doesn’t matter how it came about but that it has happened. I must deal with it. Yet, every Sunday I grieve like one whose family member has died. Certain songs I hear just bring the hurt back to mind and I find myself grieving all the more. I compare many women I meet to her and they come up short. I’ve heard the saying, “Time heals all wounds” and have foolishly said it once or twice myself. However, I am not sure that it will ever heal...I can only pray that o...

All Things

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 How often do we wonder what God's plans are? How often do we think that He is not paying attention to the "trivialities" in our lives? I confess ... I am confident in the message of Romans 8 but yet I am weak and doubt time and time again. God, help my unbelief. Infuse me with your Spirit; grant me confidence each day.
