the battle is at hand

Warriors the time to fall to our knees is upon us, the enemy is prowling around trying to steal joy and destroy everything the Lord has done in our lives. we will boast in the Lord because He is good, He has always been good, and always will be good. the encounter coming up at the end of July is key to the life of the River, we need to all show up expecting God to move in powerful ways (Of course with us laying our agenda down and expecting His!) let us fall to our knees in prayer and at the same time get to our feet and let the our whole world know what is going on the last weekend in July, tell everyone you know, lets fill that place up so full we don't know what to do. even if you cant make it send someone in your place, God is going to be moving as young people seek His face and cry out. Lets ware holes in our jeans...

well, well

well peeps today we sent Angie off and we are so excited to hear all that the Lord is going to do! we are really coming to the realization that we are in this together and my job here at home is just as important as Angie's mission! today was a little rough, the kids kept looking up to the sky tp see planes, it was really cute and between a few tears now and then we are all good. please remember us in your prayers, and for me as I am here with the kiddo's. this is the first night that is one step closer to Angie coming home!!!

Oh my word a post again!!!

well blog world it has been oh so long since we have been together! i must say i do miss doing this when i go through a season of not updating. it is always a joy to see all of the comments. I have been learning lately to roll with the punches, not actually being physically punched (i'm not much of a fighter) but learning to enjoy life because that is what i am doing right now, living life. take this as a life lesson but take the time to stop and smell the flowers! it is worth it and actually brings about sanity. we will always have work to do and chores and what-not but i am learning that i need to take time and rest and be with my family and do the things that i enjoy doing (a few for example: coffee and spending time with my wife!). tonight angie and I got to go on a date! it was great to spend time with her uninterrupted and every time we do something like this we say "we need to do this more" it was great to be out and about and enjoy a day together with no agenda. basically peeps for your own sanity don't be so busy you don't have time for you! Now i will resume watching angie pack for africa (she is ripping the center out of toilet paper rolls---really funny to watch!)
