I have had a few people(not many, mind you) ask where I have been. Well, the same old place, with the same old reasons for not blogging. I love to read others' blogs, but when I sit down to write, I draw a blank.
I'll catch everyone up a little...after our trip to Israel, which was absolutely more exciting than I could have expected ( more about that later), we have had a very cold winter here in Michigan and lots of snow. Now I like snow, but we are expecting some tomorrow and as far as I am concerned, it is time for spring. Even my daffodils think so since they are peaking their noses up through the dirt. I really want them to survive because Steve sacrificed to plant over 100 bulbs last year. I will put more in this fall, since they are my most favorite spring flower, but I hope there is a good show this year.
I have also been working on my and Steve's niece, Joyce's, wedding. I am doing her flowers and wedding gown and also making the twins some flower girl dresses. The girls will also be in a wedding the week before Joyce's so that is 4 dresses. December brings another wedding their way. And they hardly ever wear dresses anymore. This should be fun. I or Erica will post pics of them.
I am heavily involved in the Visual Arts team at our church now and it involves a lot time. I could do more if they would hire me...hint,hint, hint. We are growing very rapidly at LCBC with an average of 600 attending each Sunday. Two weeks ago we had 660 and we can't wait until Easter and see what the attendance will be. It's fun to run out of parking and room, but a big challenge...so another service may be in order. That would make 3/weekend...new challenges. Steve is excited to have a great worship team and is gaining new musicians every week as new people come to LCBC. Check out out website lakecenter.org.
I am still working on settling my aunt's estate with the help of my brother who is the attorney. Actually he does all the important stuff, I just do the grunt work!!! That's for you Butch, if you read this!
Steve and I are trying to finish off our basement, but only as we can pay cash for it, so it is a little slow. Next comes the ceiling in the family room and after that will be the bathroom and a little more trim. I am excited to get this done and move all the toys down for the kids. They love to play downstairs and even Micah will now go down the steps safely. He is growing so fast as are the others...boo hoo, I miss those baby days. They are so much fun now tho' as they say the funniest things.
Well, that's a little bit and I hope this post will be the beginning of staying in touch with you. Oh yes, I must say that I am doing a Beth Moore study now and it is one of the best. It makes me once again work hard to understand and absorb God's Word and apply it to my life. I was going through a very dry spell here for awhile...it's good to be thirsty and start to get a good drink.
