Jr. Worship, Joy, and memory verses..Oh my!

This has been a super long week. Long in good and bad ways. So many new roads to travel down but some of them I just can't brag about yet.

The blessings come down as the prayers go up...

 It's funny how much that song means to you even as an adult. 

Well, the beginning of the week was just crazy! Sunday was so perfect and beautiful and then came the crazy storms! It was mostly amazing though to be in the auditorium at Spring Road with some of the people I always assume I will spend eternity with while tornado sirens go off..While we just kept singing his praises! I loved listening to kids get excited to choose the songs out of the song books, and as discouraged as we get as adults, looking to those kids makes everything seem so much easier.

The kids at Spring Road are my joy joy joy! 

Some of you might not know this but I teach Jr. Worship on Sunday mornings with my fabulous helper Jade. It is sometimes a struggle to make the kids get involved and enthusiastic sometimes, but when I find that one lesson or verse that sticks with them..It makes me cry to see them really think about things. There is one girl in particular, she is my joy! She really gets it and is so young and fresh. A bit dramatic at times but she is why I continue to teach because I know that each week I can really catch her attention. She blows me away to with her ability to learn and practice everything she is taught. I love when I watch these kids grow in the spirit.

So, I have this friend who I took over for when they found a new church family to grow with. She did so much to create a lively and beautiful place for the kids and I am trying to redecorate (keep in mind, this friend is an interior designer) but keep her special touches that remind me how much she cared as much as I do for these little souls. So, I am going to keep the color scheme but update the verses and get rid of some of the boards. So, I finish with another request my fellow readers and friends..What is your favorite memory verse as a kid or as an adult so I can add it to my new memory verse boards.
The memory verse I chose...
1 John 1: 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

I love 1,2,3 John!
 By far my favorite books. I read them over and over again!!

Along with ALL of  2 Corinthians, all about forgiveness!
I cannot wait to hear all of yours too :)

    Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and don't prevent them. For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Sometimes its more than just a roof.

 12/13/2022 When we send texts, make calls, answer emails, etc.  We think what a miniscule interaction it is to us and the person on the other end of the line.  The simple error of a calling someone the wrong name, is not simple.  The assumption that this wrong name doesn't hold so many emotions, good bad and ugly. I have always been lucky enough to be happy with my name.  I am lucky enough to be happy with the gender I was assigned at birth. I am lucky enough to be in a safe relationship. I am lucky enough.      Today, I asked someone if they wanted any information about a product my company is offering to current and previous customers. Simple customer service, right?      The person at the other end of the simple text I sent, was covered with emotions of trauma and experiences I will never know or understand. I would've never known. I am so glad they addressed it. I was speaking to someone and addressing them by their abusers nam...

Happy Valentines Day! and some tips too

Just some ideas for a fantastic and budget friendly Valentines Day! 1. Buy roses at the grocery store instead of a florist. They make great arrangements for great prices! 2. Order a heart shaped pizza from Donatos . I heard Papa Johns is doing the same thing this year!! Take your pick, the hubs and I look forward to a heart shaped from Donatos Pizza every year. 3 . Rent a movie and snuggle on the couch and make home made popcorn. Cheaper than one movie ticket and more romantic too! 4. Make a romantic dinner at home. Spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad is cheap and delicious! Present it with heart shaped plates and red napkins. 5. This is the most important tip!! Make sure to tell the person you are spending the holiday with how much they mean to you! At the end of the day, all I really wanted was an extra special I love you and to know I am loved. I really hope I didn't gross you single people out too much! But if so.. I have a great idea that sounds like A  LOT ...

Pollyanna syndrome

My mom has always said she likes to find the good in people, similar to Pollyanna. Whether she likes it or not, it's not always a good quality to have. She always told me I wear my heart on my sleeve, another quality that isn't always a good one. Seems pretty negative to disagree with her wanting to find the good or people or loving everyone regardless of their actions but let me finish. She recently learned that it is sometimes hard or impossible to find the good in people, including the ones she loves...like ALOT.  She and a few others recently dealt with a pretty heavy situation involving people they love and the outcome wasn't pretty. It was quite ugly! Not the first time my family has dealt with some ugly situations but it affected someone that has NEVER  put herself first and always done what is right regardless of the situation. Back to my point I am trying to make..when someone lives their life always finding the good and overlooking the truth behind the good..it ca...
