... is there such a thing as slowing down?




Well that is what we have done this week anyway! What we believe is slow for our little family of three. Jeremy was in revival all last week with taking Fri and Sat night off. We started again at the same church in our town on Monday and he preached both Monday and Tuesday night before ending it. Tonight we were with the Hatton family and their church and enjoyed the service very much. Bro Keith preached a message on the passover and that is exactly what my bible study was this morning. I enjoyed it. I am attached to MY LAMB. Are you? Do you share YOUR Lamb with others? WOW. Powerful stuff!!! I remember Jeremy preaching a message several years ago called "Share the Lamb." GOOD STUFF!


We have been doing a lot of this on the couch. Believe it or not this is PK's little (big) hand. He loves holding my hand watching tv. We just watched tangled the other night. LOVED it.

Piercen's new fave snack ... his DINOSOUR .. this is how I get him to eat a sandwhich now. :)
We also have went to a delish new little place last week because he has been SO good during all of these church services that have been back to back. He thought it was SO awesome b/c he got to do it all by himself. I love it that such simple things please him. I hope he is *always* this way!


My momma got a new friend ... his name is LUCKY and so Piercen stayed up there one night last week to get aquainted with him! He loves the animals so much. He gets it from them b/c I am so not an animal person but I am warming up. I do hope we get a puppy this year for Christmas. :)Meet LUCKY ... Hei s GORGEOUS. He is so big or I think so. But so sweet. He is a lineback dunn. My mom lost her sweet horse "Dusty" last year after many years, he was 32. I can't remember exactly but I know for a fact it was before 1993 - he was a loving horse and is missed. I hope Lucky will be good to her. She always says animals are better for friends than people. Some truth in that... you feed them, the love you. UNCONDITIONALLY. You can talk and talk and they never talk back, tear you down or betray you. But ya know, Isn't Jesus like that ?? YES!


I am really looking forward to tomorrow.. we are going to get our stuff done. Such as, yard mowing, cleaning the van, changing light bulbs then we are going to play on Fri and Sat. Yeah. I love my family and am so thankful for them! We are having a baby shower for my cousin Jen on Sunday so I get to see all the fam! I am super excited! Better jump in bed, early morning tomorrow to be productive!!! Let me leave you with one more pic of my little cutie.. his daddy was watching a police show and he had to get his dress up on... too cute.

Revival...

We have been super busy this week! We have been in REVIVAL and it has been great!!! Sunday Jeremy preached locally at a church Sunday morning, my brother Aaron & my SIL Brittany came to be with us. It was so nice to be in church with family... Sunday night Jeremy began a revival in our town but at another church. We had our best friends, Ryan & Amanda and the kids come be wtih us. Another delight for the day. NOT to mention we spent Sunday afternoon outside because it was GORGEOUS!!!!! PK had to take his shoes off and run in the grass... our yard isn't too beautiful right now.. we had to change yard spraying companies so I hope it is weedLESS and green and beautiful soon but it may take a while to get it going again after the change.... Piercen loves to be barefoot and Sunday it was pretty warm (Pic April 3, 2011)




Monday is our errand day, our gymnastics day and lunch with pals. FUN, FUN. We had a great crowd at revival Monday night & God blessed. Thank you Lord! My parents came and so did my brother Nathan. My daddy said AMEN a dozen times so I know he enjoyed hearing J preach!!!!
We thought PK was going to get to start tball but he has to be 5 by May to play so he can't until next year.. but I found this at Academy and went ahead and got it not knowing but hey its perfect b/c he likes it, wants to learn and will be practicing and ready to go when it is time. J is working with him now on a lot of different things to see where his interest will be. PK is ALL boy!I took these pics Monday afternoon (April 4 2011)

Today was beautiful and not as cool as yesterday... we had to get some things at WM and I got a few plants so we spent the earliest part of the day outside. Piercen enjoyed that. Jeremy spoiled me by planting some things and my flower beds look AMAZING already. AND I see tulips coming up out back (I have to post a pic). They are from my birthday from the year before last and they keep multiplying - thank you Amanda. You are the best :) Revival tonight was a blessing. Many friends there and if I began naming names I'd forget someone. PK stayed with Nana and played. My dad had a meeting. Mom said they played outside! When we picked up Piercen he had big news... they were riding four wheelers and a dog was lost. A blue heeler to be exact. They found the owner. Yeah!! PK was so proud. They must have played and played hard b/c he feel asleep before we got home. Thanks for keeping PK Nana! He adores his Nana n Paps and Uncle Nate too!!! (Nathan aka Nate but PK calls pronounces it Nafan. I love it. He knows its Nathan but do not correct him LOL).


J booked TWO revivals for the fall today. TWO in one day. Yeah God!!! Cant wait to see our good friends in NC Bro Clay & Mrs Dena. Thank you Lord for ordering our steps.



It is warm and gorgeous weather so that means grillin' time. J has already had steak and chicken on the grill this week. Monday to be exact. I love this time of year. He does a great job as a chef!

the sun is shining again ....

This was taken on Thursday, March 31st 2011. We had a fun day and lots of SUNSHINE!
After a few rainy days the sun shined bright today & OH how I thanked the Lord for it! This week we had a great week. Wednesday night we went to church at Unity and WOW what an awesome move of God. Our friend Ryan was teaching a class on the passover and asked for some input from Jeremy. Needless to say, the Lord moved in during worship and had HIS way!!! There wasn't a lesson on the passover but the LORD came by and stayed a while. Thank you Lord for your sweet, precious spirit. I am so thankful that when we are saved we are blessed with HIS spirit. He is with us at all times, He truly never leaves. We can choose not to spend time with Him or to walk away. We can choose not to grow but He is the same. Always!!! Thursday we had tickets to see the new Christian movie SOUL SURFER. We took Piercen to Chuck E Cheese for the afternoon before the movie. He had a blast with Kristian & Ryan Jordan. SOUL SURFER was very detailed and I was afraid maybe too much for Piercen but he enjoyed it. It was a great movie, Grace Card is still my ALL time FAVE though!!! We had a huge group. My parents, my brother Nathan, My aunt Debbie and uncle Dale went with Jeremy, Piercen & I. THEN John, Kelli, and their kids went (The Jordan gang) and Michael Bray came too. FUN. FUN. Speaking of Michael, not long before he and Kristi marry - May 13th. SOON approaching. Lastnight, Kelli and I went out. GNO as we call it. GIRLS NIGHT OUT except we took Kristian & Piercen. We went to Olive Garden then to see HOP. Piercen was actually a good boy. AND they loved HOP. I did too :) Jeremy got some much needed 'office' time. Study, Prayer and Quieet. My husband spends quality time with us every day. He does so much to help me around here & when we are on the road. He is a HUGE blessing. I hope you enjoyed your quiet evening honey. I love and appreciate you more thank words could ever express SO ... I will spend the rest of my life showing you just how much!!! Today, HEAVENLY gorgeous day!!!! We had our van washed at Mazzio's for a fundraiser for Crimson Cross Bro Keith and Sis Patti's church. We ended up visiting & then went to 'play' with the Adair girls... PK, bless his heart, most of his buds are girls. Hee Hee. But he had fun. And was outside, ALL day for hours. His love!!! We got a bath and spent a few hours at my parents tonight. The older I get, the closer I get with my family AND more importantly, the more I appreciate them, respect them. They are my dearest and best friends. Ever. Happy Saturday! I'm looking forward to services tomorrow. Jeremy is preaching locally tomorrow morning and then starting a revival tomorrow night locally too. Exciting to be in our bed this week. Thank you Lord for small blessings!!! Praying for all our friends tomorrow as they stand to proclaim the word of God. One day, we will be in heaven together to worship forever!!! Amen.
This is Piercen @ Olive Garden this weekend. April fools day, btw, I pulled the same ol joke. I am prego and a few people fell for it. Carol & Kelli were two of them! LOL. I loved it... Hey, PK the camera is over here. Look at your momma NOT the people over there LOL :) I LOVE YOU!
