Fall 2010

Okay, I am making a NEW commitment to blog at least once a week...or month. LOL I am having a hard time keeping up with a full time job, homeschooling Judson and Caroline, keeping the house going, and NOW getting my doctorate in pharmacy for the next three years. Whew! I know through all this madness that I must rely on my God. I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Somehow, with God in control, the hours will multiply in my day to accomplish all that I need to do. Priorities are first and foremost, my relationship with God and my family.

That aside, fall 2010 is awesome! The weather is gorgeous, Auburn football is so exciting (we are 7-0), and it has been fun watching Judson play football again. His team is 6-2 and they won their game this past Saturday in double overtime. Caroline is a member of the CFAF Orchestra this year and just had her first babysitting job. We have been on a field trip to the zoo and it was a blast. The kids loved the pandas, the baby gorilla and the baby giraffe.

SCREAM

Just returned from a SCREAM retreat with 40 4th and 5th graders from Creekside United Methodist Church. It was a blast! I screamed, worshipped, danced, ran, played games, prayed, pranked and loved every minute of it. The worst part were the bathrooms and not having water for 12 hours. It was a beautiful site at Athens Y Camp in Toccoa, GA. God renewed me and also gave me a new ministry....5th grade girls. I connected with them and came back asking to be involved in SS ministry for that age group next year. I look forward to all that God has planned and I rejoice for the chance to help these girls connect with Jesus. I accepted Jesus at age ten but was not directed or helped out as to how to live out my faith. I pray that I God will work through me to teach them how to do that. God is GOOD!

BTW, SCREAM is Students Celebrating Rejoicing Enthusiastically, in the Almighty Messiah!

Jekyll Island 2010 (215 photos), by Michele Meadows

We went to Jekyll Island with five other homeschool families for a three day 4H camp. It was awesome! We had classes from 8am until 8pm each day. It wore us out! The kids learned about three months worth of science in three days.
