I have been a tad overwhelmed with the lessons I have been learning and with the busyness of the season!
We have so many wonderful things going on!
Let me start by BRAGGING on my AMAZING husband! He is so incredible and I am loving watching him live out his calling as a Children's Pastor. He was CLEARLY born to do this.
He is starting a First Priority Bible Club at one of our local Elementary Schools TOMORROW and hopes to begin at another Elementary School in January!!
He spoke at one of the Elementary Schools this morning at one of their ceremonies! Oh my! To say that I am proud of this man just DOES NOT cover it!
He plans our weekly services and our outreaches with anointing, zeal and so much creativity that it blows me away. He loves these kids will all of himself and still loves his family and takes time with us as well!
HE IS MY MR. WONDERFUL!
I am currently working along side a new ministry that some precious ladies dreamed up to bless women in our community that are struggling with drug addiction. I am just mainly moral support but I am loving getting to work with them.
I am planning our Christmas party which is this week and cannot wait to spend time with my wonderful ladies! I love these women so much!
Recently I had the opportunity to speak at a neighboring church's Thanksgiving lunch. It was an incredible blessing to bring a word to women who are fighting to break free from drug and alcohol addiction! The Lord gave me a very specific word and it was uncomfortable and WONDERFUL!!
I am also working with our wonderful church kiddos on our annual Christmas Musical and I am so incredibly proud of my cast and choir! I cannot wait to see them perform in TWO WEEKS!!
Thursday night begins our Christmas Parties and I am so excited! I love Christmas and I love parties!!
We also have G's birthday party coming up!! He was my Christmas baby born on the 21st!! He will be 2 this year! We are having a small family party at our house with Spaghetti and Chocolate cake!
We have almost completed our Christmas shopping for the boys. We do the 5 gift rule. Something to READ. (Done thanks to my Usborne Book Facebook party!) Something they want! (Done thanks to Black Friday shopping done by my hubby!) Something they want. (Easton wants "Blue Puzzles" so we'll be buys some puzzles that hopefully have some blue on them.) Something they need. (We are on the hunt for some Alabama Football shirts) And a gift from Santa. (We got them a green plastic picnic table a while back so that is covered!)
I also managed to buy a couple things for my hubby and one small thing for their stockings. I need more for the stockings for sure!
I also need to get my family's gifts. We draw names to help all of us keep costs low!
I cannot believe Christmas is already hear again!! Oh how I love Christmas! I cannot wait for Christmas morning!
I am planning to do cookies with the boys in a week or two and I am thinking of making Monkey Bread for Christmas morning as well!!
We are also planning to go see the drive through Christmas lights with hot chocolate soon as well!
And our grand finale will be a Birthday Cake for Jesus! I am most excited about this as me and the boys love cake and I am excited to throw a birthday party for Jesus to help us to remember the reason for the season!
Oh what fun this season is! I love sharing all of my favorite things with the boys!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Season!
Father, I pray that in all the busyness of this season we would all remember why we celebrate to begin with. The birth of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST!! Thank you Jesus for coming to earth in the form of man, born in a stable of all places and for your many sacrifices for your children! I am so thankful for this season and all that it stands for! In Jesus' name. Amen.
