What Day Is It?

-
It has been a crazy last six weeks. My husband was constantly on the road, then he was seriously ill, and then it was time to pack up our family for 9 weeks on the road. Now, here we are, in the middle of a crazy camp atmosphere with hundreds of screaming staff members around everywhere. What day is it? Have you seen my sanity? We are settling in to serve here and trying to navigate going to the doctor for the baby and trying to piece together a bit of normal here and there. 

Things are really excited and moving full force around here. The camp we are at is finishing up it's third camp on this property. "The Wild" is a huge waterpark for little kids. There is a water park designed by Disney World, a life-size ark, and many other amazing things for little kids to do. Next week, I will try to get you some pictures. 

It is fun to come here. There is so much to do and the girls love it. It can be taxing because the activity and interaction is non-stop. The blessing is getting to serve and counsel the people that work here as well as leading worship. The spiritual battle is intense, as you can imagine. Can you imagine the battle that goes on where thousands of people have come to know Christ? If you get a chance, please say a little prayer for us. Say a little prayer for the hundreds of people here pouring themselves out to minister to the broken of this world.

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel

David Crowder's House Restoration

-

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

Gomer: The Inspiration Board

-

I saw this thing on HGTV once. People would look at these mega-money "inspiration rooms" and try to copy them on a thin budget. I decided I would copy this idea and begin to put inspiration points around the house. My first point is an inspiration board on the front of our house. Much of the paint on the front of the house has been scraped off. So I took it upon myself to sand a whole board down and prime it. She is a beauty. Now, people will be inspired from miles around and flock here due to the inspiration of this one bright white board. At the very least, it has inspired me to want to paint another one.  We had a lovely time of worship here on Sunday at our first night of House Church. The Holy Spirit was so tender with us as He led our hearts to repentance and praise. I am thankful for those the Lord brought here that night to sit in a simple place in a simple way to worship Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 5 p.m. If you are hurt, lonely, broken, or searching, please join
