Fall Soccer 2009

Image
Another season of soccer down. It seemed that this year it got cold real fast, so those Saturday morning soccer games weren't as much fun to sit and watch and then there were some Saturday's that we were there for 2 hours watching both Marissa and Makayla's games. The morning we decided or should I say finally remembered to bring the camera was a foggy day. It just seemed like the fog never really completely lifted, which is why all of my pictures from that day are so hazy looking. Here is Marissa waiting on the sidelines for her coaches to rotate her back into the game. Makayla Makayla and her friend Keegan were both on the same team This was a fun game because the girls got to play against their friends. I think some of us parents were about to loose our voices that day, all in fun of course!!! Here is a picture after the game, which was a tied game.....see they are all still friends! This is actually unusual to see all of us just sitting and watching 1 game. Usually

Tennessee Here We Come

In case you haven't heard yet, YES we are moving to Tennessee. We are working with an organization who helps plants churches. We are very excited about this next adventure God has for us. There are a lot of details in this process and instead of duplicating what Jeremy has already been blogging, I thought I would just give you his blog so that you can keep up with what we are doing. www.justjeremy.net He explains what it means to plant a church, why Tennessee and how all of this came to be. It is quite a story you will want to follow. Please feel free to leave comments so we know who is following along with us.

Marissa's Baptism

Image
About two years ago or so, Marissa really started to ask a lot of questions about what it means to have a relationship with God. She was asking lots of good questions! Then one night after dinner about a year ago, she said that she wanted to officially make the decision to ask Jesus in her life, so I got to pray with her. Jeremy was actually out of town for a conference but we called him as soon as we finished praying. We are so proud of you Marissa! This is the best decision you can make. We are praying that God will use you and that you will have a boldness and courage not because of WHO you are but because of WHOSE you are....a daughter of the King Most High! Marissa with her best friend who also got baptized that day It was a very special moment to have her dad get to baptize her! We were thankful that our family was able to make it out to be a part of this special day! Here is a link to our church website where you can see Marissa's baptisim video http://newhopecc.org/story.as
