Princess Party 2008

Our 2nd annual Princess party was a great success. A great BIG thank you Cathy Kerns! I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you to those who filled up the sign up sheets and provided the meal. Even though these are little girls, they ate like grown men. I had no idea, I thought only boys did that, wow. Ivalene once again came through with a beautifully decorated table, she is so talented. Thanks Cheryl and Pat for keeping everyone informed through the bulletins. We had a total of 9 girls that were able to be there, 2 were from other churches and 4 were first timers. We had an amazing time talking about the Kingdom that they are heirs to. This year was completely differant from last year even though it was great too. There was such a presence of God. these girls know who they are in Christ. There was a "Warrior" atmosphere. So much so that I took pictures with each one holding a sword, no divas here! They are each so unique and I love them all. there is one who loves to worship, she dances before the Lord freely and with purpose. Another has a calling to preach the Word, she does it now in her school and without shame! We have the prankster, the ice breaker she is so funny, just like her parents. The tomboy, I love her....all the girls got a rose bud and a ring, she put her rose in her tiara and hooked the ring on the stem, she has her own style., she too,loves to dance in worship. There are several quite ones that are just moved by the Spirit to give hugs and love on people and never say a word. God has great plans for these girls. Now, not to leave the boys out, I will be planning something for them and they are"Sons of Thunder". I need a couple of men to step up for this one and I will help with the planning ect. Week before last one of the boys who is a whopping 9 years old preached in children's church. Yes! He told me he was caslled to preach so I said then let's do it and he delivered a wonderful lesson on anger complete with an object lesson and questions for the audience. Another one brought the scripture memory verse. He didn't just stand and repeat a memorized verse, he looked it up in his Bible, read it and then explained it's meaning and had everyone repeat it twice. One child ran the overhead and another played the music, they took up offering and then another one prayed over it. These kids are amazing!!!! I can't wait to see what else as we dive in the Gulf od Rawvaw. Love Rhonda

Why

A few thoughts I've been pondering....... Why do people pull out at an inter section. look and see me headign their direction and wait till I'm almost at their spot to pull out in front of me. Is it more challenging to them to see how close a casr can get without getting hit? Why is it that when there are two lanes and one is ending and I need to merge the person next to me takes it as a personal challange to keep me from merging in front of him/her ? Why have I found my hand in the windshield forming the "L" (for loser) with my fingers more this month then in my entire life combined ? Why is it that when I call certain people, regardless of how long it's been since I've called or what time it is, they always act annoyed that i've bothered them? Why do I allow people to manipulate me ? Why are people so mean? Why do I post these stupid blogs that no on responds to? (Except for Cyndee)

dog kisses

This morning I was awakened by my sweet little dog. Normally when the alarm rings she goes futher under the covers. Not this morning, she was wide awake and insisted that I do the same. She was nuzzeling her head into my face and trying to give me kisses. I sucessfully blocked them. I got up and let her out back where she ran and leaped and was so happy and full of life. I thought how in the heck does someone do that first thing in the morning and finally just signed it off to her youth. Now as I sit here I started thinking about it again. She is so happy to see me at lunch and in the evening. She is content with her life! She knows she is loved and wanted . It's not so much that she is young and full of energy, but she is living. I am too! I sometimes give myself the excuse that I'm to old for certain things or it's too late. No! Jesus said, "Choose life". Things are moving along with Kevin, I see major changes yet I am guarded. You know, fool me once.
