Snow Fun

After the youth left, we went outside to play in the snow. We just went out to take pictures, but could not resit the urge. :) We ended up throwing snowballs at some kids outside the restaurant next door, while there parents looked on from inside, cheering us on! At first, I played nice and let them get me, but then they threw some good ones! I had to show them what's what! I loved hearing their squeals when they got snow on their faces and seeing the looks of shear pleasure when they quickly ran up to get me with a snowball of their own.











Happy "Holly Days"


Armada had a town get together called "Holly Days". It started off with Christmas carols, moved onto lighting the tree in the center of town, and ended with a light parade. Hotdogs, desserts, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and free give aways were also included. Before hand, we had the CTU (youth group) over for pizza and a devo and we concluded the night by coming back to the apartment for warm drinks and goodies. Shortly after we got back inside, it started to snow. We had a great time.

O Christmas Tree

Last night, Becca and I decorated a Christmas tree Christina gave to us. While we will be in Georgia over the holiday, we thought it would be fun plus, we are having the youth over on Saturday. I must admit there were some pretty funny moments when we put it up. After a couple set backs, we decided to look a the directions....that minimized the problems. Tonight it snowed, making it feel even more "Christmasie". While I like the snow, I will be very grateful for the couple of weeks I will be spending in the sunny South. :)

Happy 10th Birhtday , Caroline!






Today, my youngest sister, Caroline, turned 10. Hard to believe she is that old already, although every time I see her, see seems so much older. I remember the day mom told us she was going to have another baby, I also remember the day she was born and holding her for the first time. Countless times we played house, tag, and many other games. Her beautiful greens eyes are enough to make anyone melt. Now that she is ten, she has the privilege of eating in the living room with the adults on occasion; a fact she is very excited about. She is as sweet as honey dew, most of the time, and already loves the Lord. How glad I am to call her my sister twice over, and the more I spend time with her, the more I call her 'friend' as well. Happy birthday dear sister. Looking forward to what the next ten years hold!

Ecclesiastes 3:14

Something I have been mulling over the past few days;

"I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, not anything taken from it, that men should fear before him."

How comforting to know that in the midst of vanities of vanities, there is one think to strive for, the work of the Lord. God works through people, so whatever He does through someone will last forever. I pray I never, even for a moment, lose sight of this precious truth. I want to live for things that will last forever.

Boys and Girls Bible Club Banquet






Friday Night Chris Schroeder Spoke at the Boys and Girls Bible Club Banquet. We all went along. What an encouragement to hear what is going on the Detroit schools. It was also nice to dress up and go to an event like this together.
