Mexico Mission Trip

We are gearing up for our Mexico Mission Trip. Hubby and son will be going with a group from the church to Mexico to build a house for a family next Spring Break.
I spent most of the day with a fellow church member collecting donations for the silent auction planned for next weekend. Our efforts have been so blessed that I cannot even begin to tell you how much. I have claimed the following scripture for our fundraising efforts for this Mission Trip:

Ephesians 3:20 says “With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.”
I thank God that He has blessed our efforts so far and pray He will continue to bless beyond our imagination. I pray His hand will guide us in all decisions being made toward this effort. Please join me in claiming Ephesians 3:20.

School Clothes Shopping.

I ventured off with three children on Saturday to go school clothes shopping. This was an adventure in itself. After many meltdowns from my youngest (3 years)-she will be starting preschool this year and many arguments and disagreements between the older two (12 and 8), I was definately ready to return home and have a quiet evening. I just want to share one of the meltdowns that Val had. Here we go, we are in the check out line at Walmart and have one more store to stop at to buy her green dress that she wants for school. She has a total meldown and says in a whiney voice "Bubby, can you buy me some gum? But it has to be green gum to match the green dress momma is gonna buy me. Please bubby!!" I thought I was going to just cry but could not hold back the laughter. My thought was, "Oh my, my three year old is coordinating her gum to match her dress, what???" Needless to say, she got her gum and her dress and was once again happy.
