MckMama Giveaway

Hey guys, so there is this giveaway of on MckMama's giveaway site http://www.mckgiveaways.blogspot.com/

Really, don't enter because I want to win! lol It's a GORGEOUS Kelly Moore Camera bag, that can be used as any other type of bag (diaper bag! lol) that you want to use it for. But seriously, if you know me at all, you know I NEED another bag (like I need another hole in my head but that's beside the point!)

Anyhow, I did this to get myself 2 entries for the contest...I would hold my breath, but she's not deciding until tonight, so we'll hope for the best!!!

Good luck to everyone!

I don't know how to title this but I just wanted to share something that God placed on my heart.

At this point in our lives Derek and I aren't able, or really don't feel called to go on all these extravagant mission trips to cool far-off places. Sometimes I find myself envious of those that are. Today I was reading a letter from a friend who IS able to do these trips, and abundantly so! He's involved in an organization that is doing AMAZING things for the kingdom. In the end he summarizes that over the time that he was overseas the group that he was with had 10 different teams, 80 chances in 40 locations to share Christ. As a result there were 6000 salvations and 21 new churches started. PRAISE GOD! Just as my selfish heart began to become saddened in thinking "God, why can't you use me that way? Why can't I be involved in something so incredible?!" Then He reminded me that I am. I was involved! I was a part of those 6000 salvations because this is a missionary that Derek and I not only support prayerfully, we support him monetarily. I assure you that it is a TINY portion of what it takes to send people, but it's a part of what it takes! Thank you God for allowing us to be a part of your work, even when we can't GO we can SEND. And thank you for those that can willingly go on our behalf!

All that to say, are you supporting things that you believe in? Are you a part of the spread of the gospel when you can't be there yourself? If you're not, please find someone, or a group that you TRULY believe in and if you can't give your time, give your money. Had it not been for my friend and this amazing project these people may have never been given the opportunity to accept Christ.

Wesley the Explorer

Lately Wesley has been crawling under, over, through, but NEVER around absolutely EVERYTHING! His latest venture:

 

 

 

 

YAY!!

Christmas

Since we leave tomorrow for our Christmas traveling, Derek and I decided to celebrate early with Wesley. This is his first sight of all his Christmas good.

Giveaway

MckMama is having a giveaway over at mckgiveaways.blogspot.com and yes, I am just enthralled enough to jump on the bandwagon in any way I can!!! :) If you go to her site you can find out how you can get entered to win too!!!

12-0

The Saints may not be aware that the reason for all their success this season is the support from one little 8 month old good luck charm! :)




This picture was taken just before we left for the game against the Redskins Sunday morning. (Wesley stayed with Jon and Jill and apparently had a blast because he knocked out as soon as we headed for home and slept the whole way!) It was a freezing game, literally, the snow from the day before still hadn't melted that night on the way back! But it was so much fun. The Saints stressed us and the abundance of fans there, and watching from home, but in the end they won it in overtime with an interception and a field goal to keep them undefeated! 12-0. Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?!
