Spring Break...Haiti...


(please pause blog music at the bottom of the page to view video. Thank you.)

Will is heading to Haiti with the Mobile Medical Disaster Relief Team this coming Sat. for his spring break. The Aggies are going with a group of students from Abilene Christian University and the Vanderpool family. We met Dr. Vanderpool and family last weekend. They are a family dedicated to helping people and spreading the good news of our Lord Jesus. God has blessed Will with a great friend and future housemate in their son John Mark. I love it how God works and weaves people into our lives that bless us and we can bless and grow together. God is so good.

I ask for your prayers for this group of people that they may bring relief in every way to the Haitian people that they work with. I pray that the name of Jesus and His love will be shared and spread and will infect the hearts of the people of Haiti. I ask also that you pray for the protection of every person on this spring break trip. Protection from political unrest, cholera, malaria and any other tragedy or problem that might be on the horizon for them. I pray for them to feel God's extraordinary presence and leading and for growth spiritually. I ask that you pray for peace for us as parents and that God keep our boy safe. I am so proud and thankful for his heart of care for the hurt and lost.

Here it is: One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix. 1 semi sweet choc. chips 1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup) 1small carton of whipping cream 1 package of cream cheese Half cup sugar Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
