Today...Easter Sunday.... as the sun shines and the wind continues to blow...I thank God for sending His son to die on a lowly Roman cross to save my sorry self from an eternity apart from the presence of the King... What an awesome gift we have. I pray for the strength and courage to spread the good news to all who will listen.
Happy Easter!!! Happy Resurrection!

Van of Cacklin' Hen's
I had the most wonderful opportunity yesterday to go to Bangor for the day with a van full of sisters... it was so much fun!!!! It was a day full of coffee...food...shopping..fellowship...the sweet sound of laughter... hugs... and great memories!! I am blessed beyond measure to have so many awesome friends that are like family to me... and to get away for the day with just a few of those friends was a rare opportunity and a delightful treat... God just pourded out his love on me once again... I was very torn if I should go... I'm a home body by nature..and I enjoy my sunday's with Darren very much, and find them difficult to give up...we get so busy that time is precious to us...... I also didn't have extra money for shopping... but in the light of a new sunny Monday morning...I'm so glad I went... So..to those few sisters that had the opportunity to go yesterday in our 'Van of Cacklin' Hen's" (as Dawn's husband so loveling called us) ...Thank You so much for your friendship...I love you all very much!!!!

New Adventure
Last night I started on a new journey...
I'll be co-leading a Disciple Maker Group with a dear friend of mine... the group is a small selection of ladies... a great variety of ages... different places in our walks with the Lord.. different backgrounds...it's amazing to see God knit something together before your very eyes.... Our first class was amazing. Everyone brings a little something special to the group that God knew we needed... the ladies were sharing, giving testimony, asking questions and being honest and real. Everyone is excited to dig in and study God's Word... I just can't wait to see what is to come for this group.... I am feeling so lucky and blessed to have been given this opportunity and just can't wait to learn from this group of sisters!
Matthew 28: 19&20 "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Tears of Joy
The other day I was puttering around the house... just cleaning and doing laundry. The house was alive with worship music and I was home alone. I ended up dusting some framed photo's in the living room and after just touching a few photos, I found tears on my face. The photo's I had touched were of my 'kids'... Now, for those of you that might not know this little bit of information..Darren and I have not been able to have children...so the 'kids' I'm referring to are our nieces and nephews...and some other children adopted into this group by virtue of love... well.. I believe in that little ordinary moment of cleaning my living room, the Lord reminded me of the blessings in my life... Meghan, Riley, Olivia, Justin, Noah, Katie Mae, Tyler, Isaac, Dolly, Katie, Christopher... just to name a few..(there are SO many more)....My goodness...I am surrounded by children that I love and hold dear..... May I never feel like I'm missing out... May I always praise Him for what I DO have. May I always feel that same gratefullness toward my Father.
