Sunday Snapshots

Sunday Choke Hold, anyone?

This one was right before Claire hit Jack in the head with a drumstick, or cymbal mallet.

And, that's a wrap.

^6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Philippians 4:6,7 (The Message)

⁶ Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. ⁷ Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6,7 (NLT)

The above scripture is from today's sermon about prayer.

1 Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus. 2 You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.

2 Timothy 2:1,2

Sunday Snapshots

Getting a picture with all of us looking at the camera and smiling a genuine smile is just not happening these days. But, it is what it is. I love having pictures of Jack and Claire dressed up on Sundays. So......it is what it is. :)
Claire now says "Cheese" everytime the camera comes out, but the tricky thing is she closes her eyes at the same time.

I told Blake today that Claire's outfit consisted of Mae Wood's shoes (thank you, Claire), Abby Hill's dress (thank you, Melissa), and a hairbow made my Heather Ward (thank you, Heather).

I thought this was a cute picture of Jack and Abby. This is his last Sunday as a three year old!! He looks so big here!! Love that Jackers!!

Tonight, Blake and I went back to church to watch "Courageous." Neither of us had watched it before, and I used a whole box of Kleenex. It was such a great movie.

After Christmas, Blake and I bought the Resolutions for Men and Resolutions for Women books that go along with the movie. I finished mine the other night, and it was one of the best books I have read in a long, long time. It really made me think about my role in the home as a wife and mother. I recommmend this book to all of my friends!

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Sunday Snapshots: Super Bowl Edition

Sunday was such a great day! TWENTY people got baptized Sunday morning! I don't think I have ever witnessed that many people getting baptized at one time in my life. It was awesome!!

That night, we went back to church for the Super Bowl party in the fellowship hall. We had lots of great snacks, and Blake had a really good time watching the game. He and Dewayne made a makeshift couch, and really enjoyed themselves. I didn't watch much of the game, but had a fun time talking with friends, and chasing Jackson and Claire around.

I am so thankful for my church, and church family, and that so many people are making decisions to live for Jesus!

Jackson and Blake went to church this morning. Claire Bear and I stayed home. She has a stomach virus. Boo. I hope no one else catches it! She is feeling better, and I am almost finished washing all of the linens and clothes from yesterday's sickness. Ha!

On the 18th Day of Christmas...God With Us

Today's Advent Reading:

Matthew 1:18-25

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means “God with us."

Matthew 1:22, 23

On the Fourth Day of Christmas: Sunday Snapshots

Our Elf, Flop, came to visit us. We had a welcome breakfast for him, complete with donut holes and chocolate milk. And new Christmas pajamas!

He was our centerpiece on the table for his grand entrance.

And, last night our church put on a Christmas concert. It was awesome!!! I know everyone worked so hard,and it totally showed. The music was fantastic. We have so many anointed, talented, and gifted people at our church. But most importantly, I was reminded again of what this season is all about. HIM! Happy Birthday, Jesus!
