All for His Glory

I am so inspired by my husband and his friends. Most have gone (or are going) to the Men's Encounter and have come back "Jacked up for Jesus". They are so on fire!! I stand by and listen to the countless phone calls and text messages from this group of guys offering prayer & encouragement. They go to church and truly worship our Lord. I am envious at times because they have such a great support system and when the devil is trying to get in a 100+ guys are there to feed God's word to them and help them get through the struggle. God is truly in the center of their lives and they are witnessing and serving for the glory of God. I love hearing about all the different denominations coming together to serve and love the same God.

I was asked to be apart of a team that would give women the opportunity to rekindle their relationship with God. My prayer is that women are able to open their eyes to God's mercy, grace, peace, love, and faithfulness. I pray that they experience the Lord and choose to make Him the center of their lives and to be a faithful servant to Him. Please be in prayer as this team forms and that lives will be impacted and that it will be all for His glory.

Back to School




I can't believe school has started... or maybe I can't believe that my baby girl is in 5th grade and my baby boy has started kindergarten. Where does the time go? Mayci & Hayden have had a great first few days of school. The kids are so blessed to have wonderful teachers and good friends.

This year marked my 9th first day of school as a teacher. It is off to a great start. I have a small class (23) and they seem eager to learn.

Ryan had the opportunity to go on a deep sea fishing adventure. He had a great time with the guys and was able to bring back lots of fish.

This summer if felt like our community went through a spiritual growth spurt with many teens participating in UNiTE and several men participating in Encounter. It is so exciting to see how God is changing lives and bringing people together. I am so excited to see what God has in store for our family and our community.
