In 2003, my husband and I quit relying on each other to keep our marriage together and started relying on God. Wow! What a change! We are now bearing bigger fruit in a ministry of our own.
The only thing that doesn’t change is the fact that there will always be change. You have to be willing to bend, to flex, to give, and to receive.
Jimmy spent 6 years as a field boss at the TDCJ Coffield unit, and the last two of those were spent as a volunteer chaplain at the TDCJ Michael unit two nights a week. God had a plan! Jimmy has now been a full-time chaplain with the Texas prison system since 2011, and God is using him mightily in His kingdom.
We were a homeschooling family for four years, but in 2013, God opened the doors for my children to attend a very small and very country Christian private school. The school was started by two homeschooling families in 2003. While everyone was hesitant at first, we all love it now. The school is 4 miles from our home and runs Monday – Thursday from 8:00 – 2:30. I am usually up there off and on through the week, eating lunch. volunteering as a test grader, or just hanging out.
The Boy Jace will be 12 in 2014, and he is quiet a character. He loves jokes, Minecraft, drawing, and listening to the preached Word of God.
Sweet Gigi will be 7 in 2014, and she just melts my heart. Not that I’m not firm with her, because I am, but it is easy to get lost in those big brown eyes.
No, my family is not perfect. It is a struggle to keep the house clean and work from home. It is a struggle to keep my mouth shut at times. It is a struggle to cook dinner every night. But, that’s life. Life is a struggle.
Through that struggle, my blog was born and for 2014 I am refocusing my website on ministry and music–my two loves outside of God and family.
