Another Praise!

Things are busy around here. (of course!) Sorry, I still don't have any new pictures. I never remember to bring my camera to school to upload my pics - not that I've taken any either! Anyhow, school is going well. We are learning multiplication and division right now, and they are loving it. Even the first graders seem to have grasped the concept. YEAH! That's exciting, especially if I have them again in second grade. Then I'll just have to figure out what to teach them then! Oh well!

Everything has been going great with our bus teens the past couple of weeks. There were a few of the girls and guys that came on Sunday, too. It was a real blessing, as we are still developing the Sunday morning route. Our main emphasis for the bus ministry has been on Wednesday nights. Anyhow, I had another young lady get saved this past Wednesday. Her name is Ashley and she is 19. It was her second time to come, and I could tell the Lord was working on her heart. It was so exciting to see her trust in Christ as her Savior. My husband also had two boys in his class get saved - Darius and Wesley. We are so thankful for the opportunity we have to reach our city for Christ. Please pray for us as we endeavor to do this. Thank you!

I hope all is well in your part of the world. Please send a message and keep us updated on your lives. Have a blessed day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! My life this week consists of my first and second graders. They seem to be wound up a little extra because of Valentine's Day. It's okay though because tomorrow is Friday! PRAISE THE LORD! :) Oh, and we have Monday off for President's Day. YEAH! We were planning on golfing, but we'll see what the weather does. If it's not raining and if it's warm enough, we will probably go. I hope so! It always feels good to do something active.

We are working with our bus teens on Wednesday nights for the next 3 months. We are trying a quarterly rotation so no one gets "burned out", but so there is still some consistency for the kids. Last night was a little wild, but things finally calmed down some. Matt had 15 boys and I had 10 girls. Two of the girls got saved last night. It was so exciting! Please pray for them. Their names are Destanie (13) and Alexus (12). Also, pray that I'll have wisdom on what to teach. I really want to have a "theme", but it seems as if we have a totally different group of girls from week to week. Last night I really struggled with what to teach. Every time I tried to teach what I had planned, the Lord kept leading me back to salvation. I know why now, of course, but it's so hard to prepare, when I have no idea who will show up. I know God will show me, but I covet your prayers on this matter. Thanks!

Well, that's all I have to update for now. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
