Camp was AWESOME! the Lord did amazing things in my life and the lives of our kids. Walls were broken down. lives were saved. lives where changed. Now Satan is on the attack. ready at a moments notice. hating what heppend last week and relishing in the fact that he's already made his presense known.
Next week i will be getting off earlier...2pm instead of 4pm which usually turned into 5pm and i wasnt' getting home till 6pm. my house was showing it and my life was showing it. before we had children i always said "i'm not working when we have children" well i've eaten those words w/ a little salt and pepper. Thanks to Uncle Sam we have paid off the last of Brian's school loans so that has feed up some money we are chipping away at the Trailblazer note. w/ gas the way it is i honestly don't know what we're going to do...trade in...get a car..who knows. anyway, i can't wait to get back to the way things were before i started working so much. it's only been a few months but it's been a LONG few months.
Mattie starts tutoring next week, i'm getting off earlier, going "home" week after next, going on vaca in July, spending more time at home.
those of you in the ministry w/ me you know how "church life" can take over. unfortunately Satan can use this to tear down the family unit. "busying" ourselves with "the Lords work" while neglecting our family. food for thought. i know i've been thinking about that.
read your Bible daily be in a constant state of prayer forgive ask for forgiveness. Almighty God will not forgive us if we haven't forgiven each other.

Glad you are back. Glad you had a great week at camp and that you had some good time with God. Glad you get to work less. Pray for what I'm supposed to do next with planning Freedom Experience. I've had a door shut that I had been waiting on for a long time and now I'm not sure what to do. I'm discouraged but not defeated because God has things under control. I just have to get over the disappointment and continue to have perseverance while waiting on where God will open the door next.
Love you. Hope we get to see each other soon and do our usual once a year summer time together. Will you be coming to Connie's at all? Where are you planning on going on vacation?
will e-mail you...
So glad you had refreshment with God. And that you get to work less. We are getting significant tastes of what it's like to work with a church. It's so worth it to be doing what God called us to do. It's also so tough. You are right in your encouragement to us all to be in the Word and be ready to BATTLE the evil one. God wants us to recognize, not be stupid. So easy for me to be stupid. I'm so glad that even though satan wants to attack our families, that God wants to protect us. The LORD reigns!
