Happy Independence Day!


We are giving thanks today and celebrating this great nation we live in. Praise God for the Liberty we have in this land and for all those who are out fighting to protect that freedom! Let us depend on you Lord and stand upon your Word and the truths that our nation was founded upon. While we are gathered today with family & friends let us remember our country's motto... IN GOD WE TRUST.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:

one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.


Have a safe, happy & blessed 4th of July...GOD BLESS AMERICA!


Oh, taste and see that the LORD
is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
~Psalm 34:8

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
~Psalm 119:105

10 Wonderful, Blessed Years


We recently just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. This is the bouquet of flowers that my Darling Husband blessed me with. This simple, beautiful bouquet represents our journey together so well. The Lord has brought us through many seasons...some challenging, some confusing, many full of Joy & Peace and all of them close to my heart sharing them with Roy~ my love, friend & partner. Each "piece" in this bouquet reminds me of a place or time in our lives together. Some when it was just the "two of us", others with the recognition of the three fold cord, and some with our sweet children.



We had a nice & relaxing evening out together- dinner at Bahama Breeze, movie at AMC to see The Proposal and a stop at Starbucks on the way home.

Thank you Honey for a wonderful evening. I am so grateful for all that we have been blessed with. I look forward to all the plans the Lord has for us & our family. There is no where I would rather be than by your side, embraced hand in hand, relying and waiting on our Lord.

I Love You Roy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. ~ Matthew 19:5-6

VBS Performance Night

Amelia was given the honor to hold the Bible during the pledges that night. We were so happy to see her up there without being shy or embarrassed. What a praise report...thank you Lord!!


Madeline is waiting to give her money for the boys vs. girls contest. They add up the total amount given from the boys & girls nightly and for the whole week. This year the boys won! All the money collected is sent to a missionary family...to support the work of the Kingdom.
