Happenings

Well, Trevor beat me to the Valentine’s Day post, so i’ll just add a few things of my own.

This is what Trevor got me for my birthday last week.  Since my birthday and valentine’s day are only 1 week apart, we usually combine them.  But this year, Trevor spoiled me.  As he is known to do. 

For Valentine’s Day, Trevor bought me these beautiful flowers, and the kids served us a very nice dinner. (see Trevor’s post for details).   So even tho there were a few spills and Trevor and I had to “correct a few things”, it was a very well done dinner.  The kids did a great job.  Zion planned it all himself and told the other two what jobs they would have.  (I precooked the food for him so he wouldn’t have to do that part), but the rest he did pretty much on his own.

Last week I accidently broke my favorite coffee cup.  So Zion, being the sweet and thoughtful boy that he is, decided it would be a great idea to replace it.  So I recieved, not one, but 3 new coffee cups for Valentine’s day.  My kids are so sweet. 

This past weekend, Trevor and I headed to North Carolina, where he had been asked to preach at Bro. Tim Humes’ church.  It was an 8 hour drive up.  We arrived late Friday night and immediatly crashed at the hotel.  Saturday morning we didn’t get to sleep in much, since the kids were excited and got us up early.  We had breakfast, headed to Walmart to get a few things we had forgotten to pack and then we met up with Bro. Humes and his family, for lunch.  That was a wonderful time.  It was nice getting to know them. 

Trevor and Bro Humes (this was after church Sunday.  Trevor had already changed out of his suit before I had a chance to take a picture.) 

After lunch we headed to a nearby park, so the kids could burn off some energy before service that night.  We found out that the Park was known for a war that had been fought there.  The visitors center had a small museum which told all about the battle that was fought, and then we headed outside to see the monument markers.  Wouldn’t you know it, I had left the camera at the hotel and Trevor’s phone had died.  So we didn’t get any pictures.  We had hoped to go back the next day before heading home, but we waited too long and the park was closed.  Hopfully we will visit that area again soon. 

Saturday night, Trevor preached a wonderful message on “Displaying God’s Glory”.  It was truely a blessing.  Is our lives displaying the Glory of God? 

Sunday morning, Trevor spoke again.  This time on “Culture Degrades Truth”.  The Lord blessed us with another wonderful service.  Are we letting the culture around us, drown out the Truth of God’s Word in our lives?

We fellow shipped for quite a while, after service.  It was hard to leave.  Everyone was so nice and made us feel really welcome.  I got to spend some time talking to Bro Tim’s mother, who was in Bro. Branham’s meetings.  She was healed of TB when she was around 24.  What an awesome testamony she has. 

When we finally did leave, it was late.  Much later then we intended to leave.  But it was a good trip home and because it was late, the kids slept the last 4 hours of the trip.  We arrived home at 2 am, and dragged ourselves to bed.

So today has been kind of a sluggish day, but my 3 wonderful children and amazing husband made the evening a memorial one. 

I am truely blessed.
