Faithful Servant

Well I am so far behind on blogging so I will keep the words few and let the pictures do the talking.  

In August, our pastor and his wife retired. They were not only our pastor but our Sunday School teachers.  They were more like family. 

For Jeff, they have been leading the church for 30 years of his life.

Dan came and sung as part of the celebration. This day was full of laughter and tears. 

Probably more tears than laughter but this to shall pass.

These kiddos love Bro. Steve! 

Luke's First Day of First Grade

Luke with his teacher Mrs. Benedict.  We just love her.

He seems so ready to go this year. 

Of course Evan wanted a picture too! 

And so it starts again

Well the time has come for me to once again take control of my health and in doing so, I must put some real info out there.  Admitting the problem and confessing a very embarrassing realization are key to my success.  So here I go..... I have gained 35 lbs.  Yes, I know it's crazy!  The last time I gained this much weight, there was a reward of a child in the end.  Sadly this time it is just a result of me not taking care of myself and stress eating.  So here are my stats:

I currently weight 159.

I have no idea what size I am wearing because I refuse to buy clothes but I would guess a size 14.

My goal weight is 130.

I just want to be able to wear all the cute clothes that have been sitting in my closet for the last year.  

So here is the before picture and as you can tell from my face, it is making me sick to take this.

Camping 2015

We had a great vacation camping with family.  As you can see in the pictures below, there was plenty of horseshoes, bike riding, White Water, and Silver Dollar City.  We had a blast and can't wait till next time!!

Sunday School Class

I honestly can begin to explain how much this group of people mean to me.  We are so blessed to have a great Sunday School class!

Vbs BBC

The kiddos loved this VBS theme so much, they decided they wanted to go to Bruno Baptist and do it all again.  I may have also loved the songs!!!

Luke is a child of God

I don't have words enough to explain the joy we experienced this day.  Luke made the biggest and best decision of his life and asked Jesus into his heart.  We are so blessed.

God has big plans for this young man!

That night, he went forward and professed his faith to the church.

The following Sunday, Luke followed the example Jesus gave us and was baptized.  Thank you Lord for this child you have given unto us.
