Major Announcement

Update on our ministry Announcement... Please watch!

April Fools

So, Did you all enjoy our little joke??? We just couldn't resist. We really got some of our friends on Face book. ;-)

FYI: Everything we have said up until today was the truth!! We are trying to find our way and need your prayers. We are doing so much better with it all though. we had some fun with an issue that hasn't been much fun.

Hope your April First was great!!!

Gobble Gobble

My boys are Gobbling up the turkey on there plates! It is so nice to be able to cook one meal for all of us. My picky eater pretty much eats what we eat these days. Spaghetti, Lasagna, Cheeseburgers, roast, fish, roasted Chicken and Turkey. I absolutely love making 1 meal for all of us... Mala has gotten a little picky lately, but probably because he just can't stop talking long enough to eat. ;-)

I took the quiz what women of the Bible are you most like

You are most like RUTH

You are fiercely loyal to family & friends. You have a heart of compassion, especially for those you feel may be lonely or left out. You are servant-oriented, and very self-sacrificing when you need to be. You also have a teachable spirit that will listen to instruction.

I know your thinking more..... I think it's fun to take the quizzes on face book ;-)

What's your gifts??

Easter at NPC

We are excited about Easter at North Point Church. Click on the picture above to make it bigger. They are having 6 Easter Services. Two services on Saturday night and 4 on Easter Sunday. If you have no where in mind to go for Easter come check out North Point! We have decided to start going to the Saturday night service each week to free up more seats on Sunday morning for visitors. It will be interesting going on Saturday.

Decisions

Thanks for your prayers about our ministry direction. We are making some headway and feel your prayers... I'm realizing it's ok to be human and ask for help. How can we support each other in prayer if we have no idea what they need. If you have a problem big or small and need prayer let some people you know & trust pray for you. Why do Christains think we all have to be perfect with each other. Oh no, Mr so and so went to the alter and he is a deacon or she is the nusery director. Oh there not suppose to have issues. We all have issues if we are honest. We all have things we struggle with.

Spring Break is over. I got 3 of my boys out the door for school and work. I figured this morning would be crazy after a week off, but it went smooth. Jonas is excited to take some pics to school with Stanley. He has some pics at Daddy's work, library, Grandparents houses and with his puppy rosebud.

I was just looking at some bills that I hadn't had a chance to look at yet. Wow, my hospital fun a few weeks ago cost almost 10,000. Well, I'm sure a real heart attack would have cost more. ;-) Just a wake up call that I just have to De-Stress and don't have a choose in the matter with my health at risk. I started taking something else last week because my blood pressure was staying way to low and it is starting to do better and I'm feeling better.

Time to do my wii Fit aerobics with Malachi. I try to do the aerobics a few times through on wii fit everyday. Malachi uses some old scales as his wii fit board. I hope it gets nice enough to head outdoor today. I love days we stay out all day...

Kyle actually was going to go skating with me last week, but they were closing as we walked up. He is so not into stuff like that. Wonder if i could get him to go again soon.... So how about it babe??? Will you go with me and the boys??? It would be FUN... I am not a person to sit around and love to be doing something... Kyle likes bowling, but don't think I could do that very good anymore with my hand. My hand does better some days than others. It's already just around 3 weeks until I see my surgeon again. I have no plans to have the replacement tendons surgery on my wrist. I am happy to just wear my splint and get on with life.

Remember, a smile is worth a 1,000 words!

Ok, never get busy making supper and forget your 3yr old is still taking his nap. This is not a good idea because It is now 10:30 and I just put him back in bed for the 4Th time. ;-/ He is so cute though. How many excusing can a kid come up with to get out of bed... I am the only one up and have to get up early in the morning...

Malachi was being so cute at supper. He was talking about heaven. I ask where is heaven? Malachi said, outside. I ask who is in heaven and he said GOD. I said who is in heaven with God? Malachi said well Jesus. Like mom don't you know that. ;-) Then he said you get to heaven in a tornado. Then starting singing TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME. He said give me some crackers and tacs!! TOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE.....

We had lasagna for lunch and Malachi was calling it Fazoli's zona. Malachi loves lasagna and gobbles it up and always wants more and more. We all love lasagna. Malachi was already eating at the table when I came to sit at the table and he said, "you can't have any zona I want it all." He is to cute and he knows it! We are having a lazy afternoon watching NASCAR!!

Decisions Amid Confusion - Hubby Writes Again

What is God calling us to do?

The answer to this is like searching for a needle in a haystack. It's also the question Rebekah and I have been wrestling with for the past couple of years.

Ever since I was called into the ministry, I have assumed it would be to pastor. I tried out for, and nearly got the job at a church a couple of hours from here. After not getting the job, I added another assumption, that I am supposed to be a church planter. But, is that really what God wants?

I know the world needs more churches, and more pastors. However, I've begun to question whether or not that is what God is really wanting me to do, or if I jumped the gun and assumed that's what God wanted. Maybe I'm overanalizing it, but I don't want to be going down a path I've assumed, while God is wanting us to go a different direction.

Rebekah and I spent some time talking about this earlier today.

Over the course of the past couple of years, we've had some doors open for us, and some close. But, the most confusing part has come in our discussions on starting a church. Several events that have happened, especially over the past year, could be summed up as either God pointing direction (i.e., shutting doors), or Satan attacking in attemps to discourage us. We have both prayed a lot about each event and and church plant idea as a whole, but each time we walk away more confused than before.

So, what are we to do? How do we interpret the events that could be pointing us away from starting a church? Is it really God telling us we're not doing what he wants? Or, is Satan trying to discourage us from doing what God wants? Confusing, indeed.

To Rebekah's credit, she's been doing a great job of searching for answers to our questions, probably better than I really have. Today, she called up a friend who advised her to really commit the issue to prayer. Yeah, that's a no-brainer, but it got me to thinking that maybe we have only half-heartedly prayed about it. I mean, when both of us have prayed on it, I think we thought we were giving it the full-prayer-effort. But, when Rebekah told me of her friend's advice, I started to think otherwise.

So, I think it's time to ramp up the prayers on the matter. I know I've told lots of folks that we were going to start a church, and some people have even given money toward the effort. But, I'll be honest with you, if that is not what God wants, I won't be starting a new church. And, for what it's worth, that's not an easy concept to accept for me. I've poured two years worth of time and energy into becoming a pastor and dreaming up a church plant. The stubborn part of me doesn't want to let that go if God says, "no." Additionally, because of the number of people I've mentioned church planting to, I know there'd be some egg on my face to go a different direction. Fortunately, I continue to remind myself of Galatians 1:10, and I remember that it's God I'm supposed to be impressing, not mankind.

So, if you would, please join me in praying for this matter. I know God has a plan, and I want to be in the center of His will, not just assuming what His agenda might be.

I took the Dr. PHILS what personality are you...

Your Result: The Lively Center of Attention

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not one to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

My silly cute boys!!

While I'm wating

Awesome song... Click to listen!

I just came across this book. Maybe I should read it... It says here that these questions are in it.

If "he" is your husband and "you" are you and "it" is church planting, here are some questions.

Can he do it alone?
Do you wan to do it, really? YES! or NO!
Can you stop him? (you can make him miserable)
Can your marriage thrive?
Can you plant this church and love it?
Can you move away from security and even safety?
Are you stronger than you think?
Are you strong enough to burn the bridges back to home?
Are you scared?
Is it wild and unknown?
Can you live with the discomfort and inconvenience of a whole new life?
Can you move at the speed of light?

Anyone every feel like they have a decision to make that is to big to make??? That to much is involved. That you just don't feel qualified to make because it involves so much??? I've hinted that Kyle and I have been struggling for awhile now and it it true. It has mostly been about our future! How do ya know if it is meant to be or if you are being smart to not take on something to big that will take so much of your husbands time??? If he was just a full time pastor and not having to work a full time job and then that on top of it I would feel better about it. I have no doubt he can do it and think he a God given gift to speak.I'm having a really hard time and Kyle is also trying to find our place in ministry. Pray we have a revolution that is the answer and we both have peace... I feel like I am the only one to ever feel like this, but I I'm sure I'm not... I just talked and prayed with our mentor mom from my MOPS group. She is wonderful.

10 Easy Ways To Make Church Services More Boring

In his book, “Killing Cockroaches”, Tony Morgan lists 10 easy ways to make church services more boring.

1. Don’t worry about when you finish. I’m sure no one has plans after the service.

2. Straight Scriptures, no stories. Jesus didn’t teach that way, but you’re obviously a better teacher than Jesus.

3. No television, no movies. It’s just a phase. People don’t really need visual stimulation. They prefer talking heads.

4. Use the same service order. Every week. No exceptions. Ever.

5. Make more announcements.

6. Encourage elementary school kids to sit through your services. They love lively 45-minute sermons. It’s good for them. It builds character.

7. Talk more about the past and less about the future.

8. Use the same song every week. And try the chorus one more time.

9. Use lots of big words that no one uses in normal, everyday life.

10. Forget relevant topics and life application. That’s overrated. People are really only interested in hearing what you think, not why it matters to them.

Have a Decision to Make? Follow HIS lead!

As moms, we are always making decisions. We may be facing decisions on small details or major decisions that will change the course of our lives. The outcomes of some of our decisions affect not only our lives but the lives of our whole families! Will we stay home, will we go to work? What will we teach our children? How will we interact with our husbands? Will we volunteer for this event or that one? How will we run our business? Will we live here or there? The list of decisions goes on and on! If you have ever felt perplexed or burdened about decisions, big or small, don't be fearful. As children of God we have the best example to follow when it comes to those decisions that we are asked to make. When God came to earth in the form of His Son, Jesus, He not only died for our sins but left the best example on how to live a Godly and holy life.

Consider one of the most important decisions Jesus had to make, the selection of his twelve apostles. He knew that he only had a short time on this earth and that the men that he chose to be apostles must be men after the heart of God Himself. They needed to be strong, caring, righteous and more. This was a very important decision indeed!

In Luke 6:12-13 we read:One of those days Jesus went out to the mountainside to pray, and spent all night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them who he also designated as apostles.

As God sent to earth in the flesh, Jesus went to the Father in prayer. He took time away from the hustle and bustle of teaching and healing to go out to the mountainside. It was just him and the Father above! Not only did he pray for guidance, he prayed all night long! If the Lord himself felt that prayer was the only way, shouldn't we also?

Are you facing some tough decisions in your life today? Don't feel overwhelmed, God will show the way. Take this perfect example from Jesus and spend some quiet time with God-just you and HIM. He will give you the wisdom and guidance that you so desperately need if you seek His face and listen for His answer.

BELLA

Just finished watching the movie BELLA. It was a little odd at times, but I liked it. It ended up being a very cool adoption story and didn't even know it was about adoption... I guess I won't ruin it for anyone that wants to go rent it, but it is VERY COOL!!

My boys are back

Yeah! I got my boys back home.... I really missed them... It was Malachi's first night away from home with out mommy. I think they were glad to get home, but had a great time. Malachi was so busy telling us about all the fun he didn't want to go to bed tonight. We played the game Pictionary tonight. The TV draws the pic and you guess what it is. Jeremiah and I won!!!! Tomorrow we are going to play some games and watch the movie BOLT. It is great to have them back home... I had no idea what to do with the boys gone for 2 days. I watched movies and eat alot. ;-) Was enjoying my relaxing until last night and I really really started missing them... Thank You Gramps and Granny for taking great care of my precious boys!!

It is finally Friday and I am so ready to get my boys back home. I've had a great relaxing break, but my house is just way to quiet. ;-) I rented 3 movies yesterday and the ones we have watched were good. I can't believe it is suppose to snow tomorrow!!! I think the boys have had a fun Spring Break. We did some fun stuff at the beginning of the week and they have been at Gramps and Granny's house the past couple days. Sounds like they have had fun..

In a couple weeks we are going to start attending our churches new Saturday night service they are starting. That should be an interesting change... It is the same service they will do on Sundays. It is so neat how North Point has just exploded with growth. Very excited to be apart of.

Boys playing outside

We played out all afternoon. The boys had a blast riding there scooters and running around. They played in the club house in the garage some also. It was nice out today and we enjoyed the sunshine. The boys kept climbing the tree like little monkeys today. ;-)

Jeremiah and Malachi went to the dentist this morning. They got good reports. Malachi was so funny talking to the lady that cleaned his teeth.

After our fun day I loaded up all my boys and went down to see our folks. We went to my folks and then Kyle's folks. The boys are spending a couple days with there Grandparents. Kyle had planned to take me to KC but that didn't work out after he found out he has strep throat. He's not feeling the greatest. He slept the way down and back. He is in bed already for the night.

I was pretty proud of myself this evening... I first of all drove in the dark and second of all drove past where I had the wreck in the dark... I hadn't drove that since the wreck 9months ago until tonight. I was a little freaked at first, but I survived. ;-) Felt good to actually get that out of the way. Hand is doing pretty good. I get frustrated with it alot, but all in all it's doing pretty good considering.

We watched this on tv the other night. It was on a special that Micheal W Smith was on. I have this song on my Ipod and really like it. Just try to ignore the piano is out of tune ;-)

Jonas is excited to take Stanley on his Spring Break adventure. Jonas is planning some fun stuff to do with Stanley.

LOVE DARE

Kyle & I are on day 31 of the LOVE DARE from the movie Fireproof. It has been an interesting adventure. We are heading out of town for a few days this week without kids. Kyle has planned and handled most everything. I'm sure having some time away for just us will be very relaxing and just what the Dr. ordered. Kyle & I have been struggling for awhile now and the LOVE DARE is one of the best things we have done for our marriage beside counseling. I only share this to encourage you to give the LOVE DARE a try.

LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS, BELIEVES ALL THINGS, HOPES ALL THINGS, ENDURES ALL THINGS, LOVE NEVER FAILS- 1 Corinthians 13:7-8

IN MOPS today there was a prayer request for a family that has a 3year old with cancer. They are a friend of one of the ladies in the group. He had it a year ago and they thought it was all gone until his checkup last week. It had all come back and they had given him until this weekend. Just got the call that Jacob went to be with Jesus this evening. Pray for this family.... What a traumatic thing to go through.

OK I swear I did not get the doll our and make them play with it! Really they got her out of a toy box in the garage and started playing with her. They have rocked her, held her, feed her... There actually being nice and not beating her up! ;-) So, either they are really board or really need/want a little sis. ;-)

I had a good morning. Malachi and I went to MOPS this morning. It is always lots of fun to hang out with other moms. The speaker today was talking on relationships with our kids and spouses. It was interesting. We made some cute flip flops for craft time.

results

I talked to my Dr. this afternoon and my blood tests came NORMAL. They were checking for a few things that I am so glad I do not have. I have been pretty nervous waiting for them to call. So, the chest pain from last week was caused by stress/anxiety they believe still

so, the plan is for me to de-stress and take it easy, so I don't wind up back in the hospital again.

Thanks for your prayers and concern this past week...

I went to the Dr. today to have a follow up appt to see what is going on with me. He sent me to get some blood tests and I didn't hear anything back today. I should hear something tomorrow and I am nervous... May get sent on to a endocrinologist Dr. On a good note they checked my cholesterol and stuff like that last week when I was in the hospital and said they are perfect. They were all asking what in the world I eat and do... ;-)

I have re-named my children

JEREMIAH- SIR. THINK A LOT
JONAS- SIR. INVENT A LOT
MALACHI- SIR. TALK A LOT

IF YOU HAVE SPENT ANYTIME WITH MY CHILDREN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THESE NAMES ARE PERFECT! :-)

Still not feeling the greatest! Not a great day... Since I was feeling like that we decided to go check my blood pressure at walmart and see what it was running when I feel like that. It was low and is now a little lower than it was this morning. Not sure what is going on and it still could very well all still be stress. I have been under alot of stress and that's the conclusion they came to. I am going to my Dr. on soon for a follow up and hopefully find out more. Kinda interested to see Thyroid levels. Also, see about low blood sugar. We got a blood pressure thing for home so I can keep an eye on it. You would think after eating pizza it would have gone up, but it didn't.... I am tired of feeling like CRAP!!

It's been a rough year and it could just all be catching up with me. I would have thought I was having low blood pressure because of the meds they gave me to take, but I haven't taken them. I am starting something on Monday for stress/anxiety. They checked some stuff in the hospital like anemia etc.. all was good. They checked everything to see if I had a heart attack and it came back ok and the stress test to see if there was abnormal heart things going on came back fine.

I always knew I was a mystery ;-) Ya know I was thinking why can't we come with manuals. I would love to see Jonas' Manuals ;-) I got to thinking about that and so wish I could just see Jonas manual!! God has all our manuals and I wish he would share... I guess that is where our trust and faith has to come into play. That he knows each one of us and will be there for us no matter what our manuals say.

Did U Know

What is the most important period in the spiritual training of young children? (From Focus on the Family)

Each is important, but I believe the fifth year is often the most critical.

Up to that time, a child believes in God because his or her parents say it is the right thing to do. She accepts the reality of Christ like she would a story about Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny — uncritically and innocently. At about 5 or 6 years of age, however, she begins to think more about what she is told. Some kids come to a fork in the road about that time. Either they begin to internalize what they've been taught and make it their own or else the Bible stories become like the fables that don't exist in the real world. It is a time for careful instruction at home and in church.

I certainly don't mean to imply that parents should wait until the child is 5 or 6 to begin spiritual training. Nor are subsequent years insignificant. But I am convinced that our most diligent efforts within the family and our best teachers in Sunday school ought to be assigned to the child of 5 or 6 years. There will be crucial crossroads after that, but this one is vital.

home sweet home

Now doesn't this look like fun ;-/ Kyle took a pic with his phone.

I am so glad to be back home tonight with my boys! I was having some chest pain and went to the ER to get checked out and they admitted me. They gave me aspirin and nitro pill to get the chest pain to go away and it help then gave me some morphine to get the rest of the pain gone. They put oxygen on me for a few hours. I had a horrible headache from the nitro all night last night. They ran me through the mill. EKG's and stress test and they took half my blood ;-/ I was having low blood pressure that they were watching the whole time I was there. One point ws really low. They finally let me go after my stress test came back normal late this afternoon. They had said that my EKG was a little abnormal on Monday, so not sure what is up with that. Since they think they have ruled out heart issues they have said stress has played a major role in this. I am to take some meds to help with anxiety/stress and just try to get my life less stressful. I will follow up with my general practioner Dr next week. I sure don't want to end up there again... Still feeling pretty crappy tonight. Hoping to feel better tomorrow. Thanks for all your thought and prayers.

Fill-in Blogger Today

Rebekah is out of commission (not feeling well), so I, her hubby, am filling in.

I don't really have much to say, but wanted to at least post something, since she hasn't been able to for a few days.

Check out my blog to learn more about this experience and discover my new alter-ego Bart the Volunteer (that'll be a blog post for tomorrow).

WII

The boys love to play Wii. They usually get to play every other day if there room is clean and it isn't beautiful outside. Jonas is helping Malachi play a game in the picture...

Gymnastics

Malachi enjoyed going to gymnastics with Reagan and Riley this morning. They had a blast jumping and running. Malachi was tired by the end of gymnastics and just sat there during my therapy pretty calm. Then we went and had lunch with daddy.

Jeremiah's best friend Chase is over at our house playing. Jeremiah and Chase have so much fun. Jonas and Malachi get so excited to see Chase. They think he is there best friend also. ;-) They love to play lego's and Wii.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I tucked Jonas in his bed and gave him several kisses and then hugged Jeremiah. Kyle came in and hugged Jonas and gave him a kiss and he said, "why do I never get the most kisses." Kyle said, "who gets the most kisses in our house?" Jonas said, "you and Mommy." ;-) It is no secret we like each other. We are always kissing...

Lunch date

I had a wonderful lunch date today with hubby. We ate at Applebees. I surprised him after hand therapy and picked him up for lunch. We are on day 14 of our LOVE DARE... Anyone else doing it????? I hope so and if you haven't yet it is well worth the effort. Each day we read that chapter and then we each do what ever the LOVE DARE is for that day. Today was letting the stuff you have to do go and make time for your spouse. So, I let the house go, got a sitter and picked up my honey...

great evening at church

Wow, what a great service. We actually went into church this evening since it was an off night for us working with the kids. I teach the 2yr olds and Kyle runs the sound for the elementary age kids. They had rock'en music, communion, baby dedication and baptisms. Then our pastor spent the rest of the time vision casting. North point has grown over 1,000. people this last year. we are at 4 services and they are packed. We are starting a new service on Saturday night starting the evening before Easter. Should be pretty cool!

Life

What a beautiful day today... We have played out some and the boys have gotten some energy out! I love warm days. You can just relax and unwind in the sun. I just feel kinda BLAH... What is it that God has in store for me and our family... That is the big question of the year... I've been kinda down because hubby & I can't seem to see eye to eye on that. I don't want to have regrets and not do what God wants me to do. I have been reaching out and talking to people today to see if they can help any. Why does life have to be so confusing. ;-) I really struggle with how much to share in this blog. On one hand, I want to be honest. On the other hand, my pride would like you to believe that I am perfect and that my life ROCKS! ;-) I have 3 awesome kids and a wonderful hubby, but life has not been a barrel of laughs this last year for us. we have been stressed over ministry decision, my accident and some other things that have come along... I feel wore out and depressed with it all... anyone else been there?? I sure hope I'm not the only one that doesn't have it all together.

This song absolutely blasted my heart and emotions, as I have personally been in a place of "decision" to step out of my comfort zone. I don't want to spend my whole life asking 'what if i had given everything instead of going through the motions.

Visit to Jonas' school!

we were telling about what we do for a job

Kyle reading to the class

Jonas excited about his sticker and crayons

Kyle showing of a record

Jonas and his best friend passing out stickers and crayons to there friends


We went to visit Jonas' school this morning. Jonas got to introduce us and tell about us a little. Then Kyle and I told what we did and Kyle read a Dr . Seuss book. They loved to see the station stuff. Kyle brought a record, CD and mic for them to look at. Also, brought them KWFC crayons and stickers. I think it was a hit. Jonas seemed proud to have us there to show off. He loved showing Malachi off the most. ;-) When Kyle pulled out the record one little boys said, " wow that's the biggest CD I've ever seen.'" ;-) After we were done she had them sit down at the table and do an Dr. Seuss activity with the crayons It's Dr Seuss week.

Malachi sat still for a few minutes and then he went to play with the kitchen and clean it. I got him enrolled for Mother's Day out one day a week for summer and next fall. He is excited to go to school where his brothers have gone. He doesn't want to leave when we are there...

Daddy had lots of help putting the shelf together ;-)

oh dear... what a mess......

we have been organizing our house some this past few weeks. We cleaned up our computer desk, got a new TV and entrainment center an added another book self to our room. Our house is starting to look better. We took the crib down in Malachi's room and now he has more room. Trying to get our house better arranged before I go insane ;-)
