Sorry, bloggerland..or should I say just the handful of you that read my blog.. i have been extremely busy over the past few weeks, that i have not had the time to blog, much less do much of anything else, but sleep, eat, work..repeat steps 1-3... lol...

i promise to try to do better!!! spring is in full swing or bloom??!!!!! it is just beautimus around here, and love everything green again, but it does NOT love me.. sniff, sniff!! i had to go to the dr. the other day for wheezing, sneezing, and a really bad cough!! thank God for those shots in the hip, and for z-pack!! they bounce you back in no time!!!!! and cough syrup to i might add!!

we were priveleged to go with the youth from church to the annual teen campmeeting they have every year with Bro. Tony Hutson. our Pastor preaches there every year and we take a bus load of teens there for a few days!! it was wonderful as always!! it is always great to go to other churches that worship they way you do, and you can feel the Spirit of the Lord,and His blessings on our young people.. we started up to Tn on thursday morning, arrived late thursday afternoon, got checked in, ate a pizza supper, had a few devotions, brought to us by a few of our Preacher boys..and then the kids swam, and played games and such, had a testimony time, and got ready for friday's FULL day of meetings. friday was a full day, really.. we had a morning service, came back, ate a good meal, then went back to hotel for rest,and swimtime, and then got ready for friday night's service.. it was great!! we had a good service, so good, that at 1100 pm, Bro. tony broke for supper(HAHA), and went at it again till about 100am.. we arrived back at the hotel going on 2am!! needless to say, not a lot of rest, and then went back on saturday morning!!! it was great.. we left there and headed back home, and got back around 12 on saturday night.. we had a wonderful time, and had a great time of fellowship too!! the LORD is good!! the teens had a time of testimony time on Sunday, telling everybody at church about the meeting.. we heard about 12 different Preachers while we were there, and had a great time in God's house!!

youth meeting

this is the choir on friday night. they did a great job. they sang with the power of GOD all over them. they were such a blessing, and a help to set the tone for meeting. bro. joe arthur got up and preached on friday night about the ROSE OF SHARON. it was so good, and i will always remember it every time i see a rose from now on... after the service on friday night, we all went to the fellowship hall for a meal. we arrived back in the hotel around 11:40 pm. we all crashed. it was so good to go to sleep. saturday was such a great meeting also. bro. millford biddle got up and preached on some things we need to change, and some we don't. it really spoke to my heart. we heard several other preachers. they were all great. we left tn around 3:00 pm. we arrived home this am around 1:30 am. we all were exausted this morning in church, but the LORD blessed, and we saw several families come forward today. the preacher didn't even get to preach both services today. we had several testimonies of how GOD blessed, and the teens were very excited.i was thinking about a lady the other day. the LORD laid her and her family on my heart. this morning, they all were in church. that was a blessing to me. i am really overwhelmed right now, and the LORD gave me several blessings this weekend. he allowed me and my husband to be in on great meetings where we saw the LORD work in great ways. and we got help together, not to meantion to be in on some great fellowship with some wonderful people from our church.i thank HIM for that.
this is us before the service
