HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

...life has been busy....

On June 23rd, we celebrated Madison's 5th b-day! We had a cowboy themed party, complete with balloons, cowboys hats, wanted posters and star cupcakes. I cannot believe my oldest is 5!

On June 30th, we watched some of our students from GSM get married and it was a beautiful day! I had the privilege of decorating a room at church for their rehearsala nd of course I have no pictures...sorry! The wedding was beautiful and They had a GREAT DJ at the dance. We had a blast shakin' it up and shocking some of our church fam with the fact that we can dance! Priceless! The biggest blessing was that these two families that were joined have become some of our dearest church family and it is truly an honor to call them family! Also, we were able to take the kids to the grandparents that night and so the after the wedding ended we headed out with some dear friends to Perkins nad just had a great VISIT! We love you Aaron and Sierra!

Also, this weekend our friends Jordan & Jessa are home from Nashville where they attend Belmont University. Yesterday they led worship at Newton Grace Church and then last night they did a concert at Grace Church here in DSM and it was a GREAT privilege to attend both! They are soooooo talented and it will be neat to see where and HOW God uses the musical talents HE has given to them!

Tomorrow, we are headed to Tim's parents for 4th of July party. Hopefully, I can make a better showing in badmiton tomorrow! and at the end of the week my parents, my brother & his family are some guys from my parent's church are coming down for the weekend. The men are headed to Promise Keepers and the girls are in for shopping!

Praise the Lord for His Love today and the blessings he gives!

THANK you for our freedom in our country, but also our freedom from SIN & DEATH through JESUS CHRIST!

Happy 4th of JULY!
