Hard times......................



When your world feels like it is all falling apart.  Trust God.  

This past two months of my life have been the hardest ever. So many things have happen that I have no control over and have changed things forever and will never be the same again. My only hope is God will take all this and use it for good.  I see how he is already.  Things that were not completely right but had been pushed aside and not looked at as a big problem are now being made right.  It is amazing how those little things effect more than we realized.  Things that didn't seem like a big deal or staple to the big picture that have now been addressed suddenly have changed the look of our future.

Through I do not believe God makes evil happen to bring out what is righteous.  I believe without a doubt that for will use was intended for bad for his good.

Genesis 50:20
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

Life is so hard but know you are not alone.  Know that there is something bigger than all you think you see in front of you right now. Hang in there and keep knowing and trusting God is and will work things out.

I have to be honest. Even us moving to Texas though I know God lead us here has been so hard on us.  I miss my family and my close friends that have always been here for me. They are still part of my life of corse but I so miss their constant presence physically in my life.  Some one that just likes to hang out and doesn’t have to be entertained all the time.  Some one that makes time to stop by just to see how Im doing. 

I hear so many people talk about wanting to start over and make a new life. Well it isn’t all it sounds to be. You will miss and desire to have back even the small things you thought you hated sometimes.  That saying that you don’t realize what you have till its gone is so true.

I will say this.  There is alot Im not sharing cause its so personal.  We see God moving things into place although we don’t understand all that is going on.  We are excited and deciding to just chill and let God work things out.  

Im real big on how we should stay in right character regardless of how others act and what they do.  Don’t react instead respond with integrity.

I share all this in hope that it helps someone who may be going though a hard time as well.  Hang in there, relax, trust God, stand with integrity, trust God will use it all for good.

Refuge Verdigris, Falls Creek, and Worship

Goodness, I have so much to share!  I feel that I need more time so I can post all that has been happening.  I would like to interact more with those of you that love being involved with social media.  So the first thing I'd like to share some of what all has taken place this summer.  Our life was blessed by various camps for the entire month of June.  Falls Creek being one of them.  Falls Creek is a BGCO owned and operated summer youth camp located in the beautiful Arbuckle Mountains in Davis, OK. Each week they host over 6000 students and sponsors on the campgrounds. There are eight total weeks of youth camp at Falls Creek and each summer we host a total of upwards of 54,000 guests!   Here is a link to see more information about this camp!  You should check it out and consider it if you have never been and are looking for an experience to have with your students.

Kids, Summer Camp, Recording

Tomorrow is the last day of March!  Time went by so fast!!!!  Alot has happened in a month!  I am going to start with this and write more later. Taken 3.29.13 Gavin & Aliyah Jackson.  Two of my most favorite people! I am so proud of my kids!  In all I do I have to say that watching my kids reminds in of the things that matter the most in life.  Family is so important.   The memories we make together, the unconditional love we share. I love seeing them as they grow in deeper thought and make goals.  Jared and I support them in their pursuits, and encourage them in the talents we see already instilled inside them.  Gavin is a straight “A” student, enjoys sports, and music. For Christmas he asked for a guitar and has been practicing. He plays almost all sports well. He did soccer on a team last summer and thinking about basketball when that session comes. He is young enough to just try out all these things and decided which ...
