Blessed Sunday

 
 
Acts 14:23  And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
 
What an amazing Sunday.  Doug was appointed as an Elder in our church.  Being an Elder is an honor and a responsibility.  It was beautiful watching the other elders praying over Doug as he knelt before the congregation and God.  The congregation and Doug both recited vows to each other....and then we prayed.  I am so proud of my man.  My Christian husband and Christian father to our girls. 
 
 
 
1 Timothy 4:14  Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.
 
Doug has made a major commitment to our family, church, and community by accepting this honor.  But this decision does not just affect Doug, it affects me and the girls as his family.  We must also rise to the calling to be the type of family that is worthy of Doug's appointment.  We must think about our walk with God, our witness to others, and our words and actions.  We will all fall short, as will he.  But picking ourselves up, being transparent, and asking forgiveness for our sins is mandatory. 
 
It has been a blessed Sunday for this family, I pray for a blessed week for all of you as well.

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
