Teacher appreciation week

A very small token of our appreciation for our teachers!  So blessed! !!

Shoe-box Ministry

Had so much fun tonight... even though I was brought to tears several times by the wonderful, sweet children that are in the children's church at World Victory Church as they prepared boxes for the Shoe-box Ministry (these boxes are going straight to kids in Bolivia). These boxes were filled with simple things (things that we use daily and take for granted) such as a toothbrush/toothpaste, socks, pens/pencils, notebooks, brush/comb/ponytail holders, small car toys, yo-yo's, crayons, necklaces, balloons, etc (you get the point now- I hope anyways, lol) and topped with a sweet personal card. 
Looking at the kids as they prepared and prayed over each box for each child, just the smile on their face was enough for me. So glad that I was able to be apart of something so wonderful! Thanks toStephanie Stewart, and Miranda Derrick Griffie for putting this together (and Mrs. Andrea Williams Machen) and anybody else that I left off! Thanks to everyone that donated items! I know the children there will be so blessed and excited to open their box! ☺ ☺ 
BLESSED BLESSED BLESSED!

Thankful!

With the Holiday season coming up (very fast might I add) everyone is posting on fb how they are thankful for certain things. I am so thankful for so many things! Some of them are the things that we all (myself included take for granted from time to time). Just to name a few things that I am thankful for: my health, my precious children and my husband, their health, having a house to live in, having clothes/shoes to wear, a car to drive! Yes, I am thankful for other things as well like my family, extended family, friends, having a job, freedom, etc! But most importantly I am so thankful that Jesus loves me (and you)! He gave his life for me (and you). He loves me (and you) unconditionally!  He forgives us.He protects us He is there for us when nobody else cares, he walks with us , he talks to us, he holds us and he knows when to put his hand over my mouth- lol.
He always provides us in every way! He is my strength, He gives me wisdom!

 I feel like I am rambling now, but I am so THANKFUL that he loves me and that is ALL that matters to me!

Do you know the LOVE that I am talking about? If so, then you know exactly what I am talking about. If not, then we need to talk. The LOVE from Jesus is like NO OTHER love you will ever experience. Seriously, you don't know what you are missing! Knowing that no matter what you do HE loves you. To know that you ALWAYS have someone to talk to about anything. He has a plan for you (Jer 29:11) and if you will seek him, love him, talk to him and follow him EVERYTHING will be WELL! Knowing that no matter what comes my way I can give it to HIM and not have to stress over it- I am holding a mirror in my face right now because I do stress over things and say HE can't help me, when I should have given "it" to him to begin with and I wouldn't had any stress! I am still learning and I have a LOT to learn, but I do know that things with God are EASY!

I pray that everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas (Remember the reason for the season)!

Love you all!
Phil 4:13- my favorite scripture- well one of my favorites anyway! ☺

My God is BIGGER!

For a brief moment I was upset; for a few minutes I was mad. Then I realized IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!! I know that I lay my head down every night knowing I did what was right. I will not let you take away my memories! Jeremiah 29:11 is what I need to remember and focus on. "You" decided to change things to fit "you". Well guess what?, "You" will have to answer to those changes on your judgement day! So now all I can do is pray for you! We don't need material things to make us happy! All we need to do is praise him in everything and we will have all the happiness we need! Just so you know I do love you and I am praying for you! He strengthens me (Phil 4:13) and I will let him guide me every day. My God is good and HE is bigger than this!
The next time you want to try and pull some CRAP over one someone- find someone who doesn't know exactly how you are.Just to let you know that I will not be fighting this, there is no sense in it. Really, there is no sense in any of this CRAP! To alter legal documents and then to send a personal note that you "made up" with the name of someone else is CRAP! Did you not think we would catch on. I mean if you just read it you will see where you made your mistakes. Stupid mistakes such as mis-spelled words, using the wrong words. Things that I know they would never say.

Anyways, I am done. I am so glad that I am not a part of this chaos. I am so happy that I have a peace about all this that is like no other!
You claim to be a "Godly" woman, well let me just inform you that a "Godly" woman would not do things like this, especially without repenting! I may not understand you, or what you are doing, what you have done, or even WHY???? But that is OK, because you don't have to answer to me and I am not here to judge you! I am here to love you as I am told to do in John 13:34. With that being said, I will pray for you daily; I will pray that you will see your mistakes and repent. I pray that you will grow closer to the Lord and see they correct way you should be. I pray that you will have a Christ like mind and that your relationship with the Lord will only grow closer and healthier. In Jesus name, Amen!
