The blog may be silent for a few days...

I know that just breaks the hearts of the many readers out there. We are transferring phone/internet service to the new house this week, so we may be without a landline phone and internet service for a few days. Good thing that I have a cell phone with Internet access! We are hoping to get everything moved to the new house this weekend. I can't wait!

Scenes from Junior Church

Image
I thought I would post somes pictures that I took in Junior Church this past Sunday. I have started something new. I divided the chairs in the classroom so that I have two sides. I wanted boys against girls, but the first Sunday with the new set-up, I only had two boys...:( So now, I just try to keep the sides pretty even. I have two camping chairs at the front of the room. I picked two kids to be our captains for the day. They were to be our helpers, and to watch for quiet seats. The two quiet seat winners will be the captains next week. I think it went pretty well this week. I also took a suggestion from my Pastor's wife on how to enforce the rules...which is working so far. I am always looking for new things to try. I don't want the kids to get bored with the same old stuff every week. I want to keep things new and exciting, but most importantly, I want them to live for Jesus. Here are the pictures: Adam Forsee as one of the Captains Ashley as the other captain One side of

9 months...

Today marks 9 months of Carl and I being a couple. We officially became a couple on December 13, 2007. It has been a great 9 months. I am so thankful that God borught Carl into my life. I know it was God, because I probably would have never met him otherwise. I had actually given my singlehood (if that's a word) to the Lord. I had struggled with it for a while, and finally committed it to God. If God wanted me to be single all my life, then so be it. Just a few weeks really after that is when I started talking to and emailing Carl. Our first date was a revival service at my church, and then we wnet to Steak N Shake for something to eat. About a month after that is when we decided to be a couple. My family liked Carl from the beginning, and has grown to love him like one of the family. My dad really liked him...and I am so thankful that I knew I had Dad's approval on Carl before Dad passed away. Mychurch family also accepted Carl as one of their own pretty quickly, and Carl is o

TGIF!

I am so ready for the weekend! Thank the Lord it is Friday! It has been a loonng week...

Never Forget...

Today is the September 11th...9/11 That date will forever give me chills. I did not know anyone personally that died that day, or even anyone who lost a loved one that day, but I will never forget where I was when I heard the news of what was happening to our country. I did not have class that day. I was going to Franklin College part time that semester and did not have classes on Tuesdays. Mom called me from work and told me that something terrible was happening. I turned on the radio in time to hear the reaction of the reporters as the Twin Towers fell to the ground. I was glued to the radio. I remember Mom calling me to go fill up at the gas station because people were afraid the oil prices were going to skyrocket. On my way to the gas station, I remember hearing everyone's car radio turned up...not listening to music, but to the news. There was no music that day. I remember doing a lot of praying that day. In the days and weeks to follow, I remember hearing Lee Greenwood's

This picture was taken Sunday at Craig park in Greenwood. We were at Carl's Froelich family reunion. I love it! Don't we look great together?

I love sunsets like this...

This is a picture of the beautiful sunset we saw on Saturday night while we were at Symphony on the Prairie. Here are some other pictures from that night: Carl and I Jennifer and I Jenn taking a picture of the sunset.

God must be wanting to do something BIG...

...because the devil has really been fighting me today. I have not had a day like I had today in a long looong time. But I know that Jesus is with me because I am holding on to the promise "I will never leave you nor forsake you." I had this massive headache that just kept building and building throughout the day. I have not had a bad headache/migraine since the Sunday evening service a in late May or early June when I asked the Lord to take away my migraines and dizzy spells. We were actually praying for another lady in our church, and I asked the Lord to touch me as well...and He did. I think the devil brought on the headache to get me to doubt God's healing. Well, it is not going to work...I know what the Lord did for me and I am going to keep trusting Him. The pain has started to go away this evening. On top of the headache, I just have not felt like my normal (if there is a normal) self the past couple of days, maybe because of the heat, who knows? Also, today was

I am 1 of 3000

As some of you may know, I am a HUGE fan of the author Ted Dekker. He is sort of like Frank Peretti. He actually wrote a book with Frank Peretti, called House. He has written books like the Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White), Blink, Thr3e, Showdown, etc. He also had a 4 book set for youth (Chosen, Infidel, Renegade, and Chaos). I have loved every book that I have read, with the only exception being ADAM (it was a little scary...it dealt with demon possession/serial killers). If you are into thrillers or science fiction, you should really check out Ted Dekker. I suggest starting with either Blink (which I think has been re-released as Blink of an Eye), or the Circle Trilogy. Well, Dekker just came out with a new book called Sinner. It is about having religious freedom taken away from us, which is something that is becoming more and more a reality here in the US. Because of the subject of his book, Ted Dekker has started a group to support religious freedom. So I became a member of The 3

Colts Game

Last Thursday, the 28th, Carl and I went to the Indianapolis Colts preseason game at Lucas Oil Staduim. It was a lot of fun. I just wish the Colts would have won the game, but at least it was only preseason. It was Carl's birthday, so I had bought the game tickets for his birthday present. He was really surprised and loved going to the game. We had a good time. Here are some pictures of our experience. I tried to take a lot of pictures because who knows when I will be able to go to another game? Here is the link to the pictures...I was having trouble with this link. So GOOD LUCK! Colts Game pictures
