Vbs Hangover

So I finally got over my vbs hangover :) YAYY! It took a few weeks and now I'm sad it's over. It was good, we had alota craziness. But I know the whole worship team would agree with me that worship WAS THE BEST PART OF VBS BY FAR. We added another male this year (Chad) and we had Zach again. Having two guys really helped the kids. They were so into it and loved doing worship. The sports theme was cool and added and extra special affect for the guys! Anyways i thought i would include our worship line up for you and some special "worker" pics :)! Yes we were all surviving on adrenaline and coffee! Yes Prayer was the only true thing that got us through the entire week. Yes God did some amazing things. Yes it was difficult but every worker said the would do it over again in a heartbeat just to experience that vibe and high one more time. Yes it was 100 percent worth every moment spent pouring ketchup and dealing with kids saying "can i have a snicker doodle".

Worship Line Up:

Your Love Is Deep, Beautiful, Enough, I am Free, Everyday, Love To Say Your Name, Presence, Superstar, and Take My Life (Take Me Out To The Ball Game Reprise).

1. Our Stadium 2. My crazy friend being his crazy self :)

Church Carpet

So this may sound super dumb to some of you but no one could understand how special this was to me :)! When we first moved in our church (6 years ago) we wrote scriptures on our sanctuary floor before the carpeted it. Finally a week ago they pulled up all the old carpet and I was there (not that with my lifestyle that should surprise anyone). I had the opportunity to see the floor before they put the new carpet in and I took a picture of my writing! This was really special to me cause it reminded me of all the amazing things God has done not only in my life and family but also in my church family! It was a huge privilege to be there and to watch my church grow! Anyways here is the picture and enjoy :)

Ya you can barely read it but you can kinda read where i signed!

Prayer Request

Here are my updated prayer request :)!

1. Please continue to lift up pastor Greg Laurie and there family! ( i did not know Christopher personally but being apart of the Calvary chapel family i truly feel like i have lost a brother)

2. Please pray for me, 2 of my best friends are moving to Tennessee and it is rather difficult for me to say the least :(

3. For my family's health everyone is a little sick. The girls are slowly getting over it and my mom has been sick with a headache for 3 days. She is going to see our chiropractor today and as Michelle said until she does that, it won't go away :) hehehe. I have no idea what is wrong with me :( its a huge mix of many different things. Ya all the guys are doing good right now :) lol.

4. During the summer 3 to 4 different mission teams are sent out from my church. Please pray for our Hungary team (college group) they are currently there and need much prayer! Pleas start praying for our Mexico team (hs and jr high group) as they Leave on August 11th and Will be gone for a week!

5. For summer school I almost finished and therefore very STRESSED.

Praise Reports :)
Ireland team (high schoolers) just returned on Sunday and are all doing well and healthy. God did amazing things with them and I get to hear all about it on Sunday :)!

VBS went really good and i survived those nice longgggggggg 6 hour days!
