God is Good All The Time!!!!

Well We have been here awhile now and everythings been great Two other people were playing with us on Sunday mornings and it seemed like We didnt have a care in the world. Well finally I can see the devil moving I wondered where he'd been guess he had some other people to bother. We are fine and We know with Jesus We can overcome all these things but please continue to pray for us. Dont wanna mention anything specific but We can see the devil moving in a couple different situations and its frustrating because Sometimes it makes you feel helpless. But Pray can change things so please keep the prayers coming!!

    Onto happier things  ( I'm not gonna give the Devil the satisfaction of making this post all about him)  Journey has recovered fine from her surgery and is wild as ever. We were heading into Mcdonalds last week  and saw Mandy (the lady who gave us Talley) She was so happy to see us and said she had been worrying about him and had been fighting the urge to text me. Of course I told her to text anytime and showed her some pictures and told her some stories. So she left feeling alot better. Also DO NOT order the sweet tea from Mcdonalds here thinking because its another Mcdonalds it will be the same as the sweet tea back home It is definitely not I wanted to cry when I took a sip. Jeremy and I laughed the other day about how we used to say Athens had no good resturants and now We miss everyone of them! The stage in the sanctuary is complete Jeremy just has to work on the wiring. They are working on the sound room and hopefully next we can get carpet. Everything looks really good and everyone seems to like it. Wednesday night We ordered Pizza from PizzaHut It was great to have a  break from having to cook. The kids were excited too and ate better than they usually do But were extra wild Must have been a full moon lol
    God has many ways of showing us he cares. Sometimes We dont notice because they are small things We probably dont even think about but I noticed one this week and wanted to share

 There is a couple big things of flowers all down in front of the church And in one of the ones in front of our apartment Lee threw in a few sunflower seeds He figured they would not bloom before the cold weather got here and killed them. So one day when I was talking to God i asked Him if at all possible if He could let at least one of those sunflowers bloom before they died.

I dont know what happen guys but all my pictures turned into explamation marks :/ I have fixed a few but some I havent got to yet and some of the older post i dont even have the pictures anymore :( ill take off asap I do good to find time to keep this updated and then my pictures mess up. Oh well Jeremy thinks blogging is silly I told him it helps me vent I mean this way i can get everything off my chest to all my friends at once and not have to tell the story over and over :) He still thinks its silly. I still LOVE it :) Not a lot going on here The stage is built more pictures to come It looks really great Hopefully Carpet soon and the sound room. Please continue to pray for us here at Canyon Baptist We are so happy to have more room and a better looking place to worship but what we really want is for it to be full. We want to grow so we can reach more lost people. Please pray for unity and strength to love one another despite our differences. This should be a prayer we pray for all churches. God made us all unique and gave us all our own gifts Lets pray that God will help us recognize our gifts and use them for his glory. If we work alone we may make a small difference But if we can only learn to work together think of the big difference we can make. 

Change Can be a good thing :)

Here at Canyon Baptist this is a very exciting time for us!! We are building a new and bigger stage, building a sound room, We got new and improved sound equipment, and we are flipping the sanctury around and will have up to 30 more seats this way!! We also are beginning to look at carpets and compare prices. I have only been here since July but to those who have been here forever looking at carpet is the most exciting part since they had to rip theres up when they redid some of the floor a couple years ago. I'll post pictures as we go :)
