Joy

This week we are doing VBS at our church. I LOVE VBS! I really do. I've helped with it since I was a youth and absolutely love being able to have fun and teach kids about God. Just being silly and loving on them means so much to them and their families. I love investing in kids. They are funny and full of spirit and spunk. So innocent and ready to be molded and absorb all the info you toss on them. So yea, I'm having a blast! I will be posting pictures and hopefully some videos soon. :)

We got some GREAT news this week too. Jon will be home SOON! I can't share any dates publicly, yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah, but he is coming home MUCH sooner than we expected and the girls and I are THRILLED!! I haven't told the girls yet that it will be a short lived joy because Jon is going to have to deploy again before Christmas for 6 months. :/ But we will deal with that when it actually gets here. Hey, its the Navy, and its the Enterprise, things change all the time and that ship breaks more than you could imagine. So theres a possibility that he won't have to leave, maybe.

While we wait for Jon to get home, I am frantically trying to get the house and storage unit cleaned up for his arrival. If you've seen my room (or pics of it) then you know what I'm talking about. But thanks to wonderful friends, I think I will actually be able to get it done before he gets back. :) Thank you Sasha, Steve and Russell! You guys are great!

Tuesday nights have become a wonderful release for me. If you don't know, Tuesday nights is 757 Worship. I'm not gonna pretend that its this amazing new concept or anything. But I am saying that Dalton gives a great message, and the band leads you to true worship. And another plus, its a place where I don't feel weird about being there because I'm an "old married couple with kids". There's childcare and I don't have to be "on" when I'm there. I'm not responsible for helping or leading in any way. I get to go and just enjoy myself and fill up on God's word and worship without leading worship. I love leading worship, I love helping out. And I may end up doing that with 757 Worship eventually. But right now, I'm enjoying just hanging out with people around my age, even if we aren't all in the same places in life. It's laid back and relaxed. So here's my plug, if you live in the 757, you're single, engaged, married, married with kids, 18+ (20's, 30's, 40's, 50's ++++), come out and enjoy yourself. Bring your kids to the childcare and enjoy worship and the word.

I am loving having a relaxed, fulfilling summer. Hope you all are too friends!
Blessings to all!
