Walk Out of the Room for One Minute and this is What I Get

Okay! So I put the girls in the bath last night and walk out of the room because they said that they wanted to play. Well it gets really quite and then the laughter errupts! Well I walk in the bathroom to find this.......

Getting Ready for Back to School

We have less than a week before school starts! OHHH how fast the summer has flown by.... The girls are extremely excited about going back to school. Taylor will be a 2nd grader and this is Tillery's last year in daycare. Adam and I thank goodness for that! We went last night to meet Taylor's teacher and she was excited about the friends that she will have in her class. The teacher told us that this year the children have homework every night and as we sat there I thougt about how quickly Taylor has grown up! Time does fly! We go back to school on Monday and I will be posting pics of our first day!

What A Weekend!!!!

What a wonderful weekend we had!
Friday after Adam and i got off work we took the girls to stay the night with my mom. Adam had been asked to speak at a College age overnight conference at Pine Eden in Pine Mountain. On our way there we got the priviledge to eat dinner with Siran Stacy. We met Siran and brother Ray at Jason's Deli for a meal. Adam and Siran really hit if off.... It was hilarious! Ray and I sat back while the two of them just talked and talked and talked.... We were truly touched by him and his genuine love for God. He said something to me and Adam that night that has truly touched me..... He told us that he had a 6 figure salary and everything you could want in life. And none of that mattered, if he could have just spent more time with his family he would have gladly given it all up. He lost 5 of his loved ones in one second. He lost his wife, 3 daughters and a son. Adam asked him when he felt the call into ministry and he told us that he felt it long before this and never acted on it. After this tragedy happened to him he really just didn't care! He didn't have to have all of the worldly things. He is an AMAZING man of GOD and really does not care what you think of him. After we left dinner Adam and I talked on the way to Pine Mountain and Adam said I would love to have what he has, but not in the way he got it. It was awesome! He spoke to the college group when we arrived at Pine Eden along with Brother Ray and it was amazing! We got to sleep in seperate areas that night. Adam slept with all of the guys and I slept with all of the girls. Saturday morning we heard from Lance Lee, he is from Phenix City and told the group of his story. He had a wreck when he was drinking and driving. His story also touched me. The thing he said that really got to me was that we complain about so much every day... When the things we complain about some people are just lucky to have! Adam then spoke before the conference wrapped up and spoke on being BOLD. I know that there are some things that I need to work on in my Christian walk, but I am going to strive to be a BOLD christian.
We came home a rested before we had to go back to church Saturday night. Golden Acres began their Saturday night services this week. We have the same service Saturday night that we have on Sunday monring. This is being done to make room for more people because we have run out of room on Sunday. We went to service and started our 40 days of Love study. We are as a church doing the devotional book "THe Relationship Principles of Jesus" . The devotions begin tomorrow and I am excited. Ray spoke to us Saturday night about loving God with all your heart. What a great way to start the 40 days! We then started our new small group. Adam is leading one of the small groups on Saturday nights after service. This is called a small group because you can't really call it Sunday school when we don't meet on Sundays! We had a great time! There were a lot of people there and everyone was so excited about it too. Everyone introduced themselves and Adam did a short study on the sermon that Ray preached. The small groups will talk in more detail and on a more intmate level about what Ray preaches about during the 40 days. We had a good time and I can't wait until next week. I urge you if you don't attend church or if you go to Golden Acres and you are not plugged into a small group. Come with us next Saturday night! Oh by the way Ray will be letting Adam preach next weekend. Adam is preaching on Love your God with all your Soul. I can't wait!
Today me and the girls slept in. This was great not having to get up for church. We enjoyed our morning at home. Adam drove up north of Atlanta to pick up his boat. I must admit I am kind of excited about putting it in the water for a ride ;) I did a little bit of school shopping this afternoon and then we took the girls to their first night of Awana! I know this was a bit ling but I felt that I needed to share our weekend with you!
