Weekend to Remember - An Experience You'll Never Forget

Give your marriage a tune up!

Let us tell you all about Weekend to Remember! We've been twice- the first time was in 2005, two months after we divorced on our 14th wedding anniversary... God placed that conference in our path to give us the tools to tear down the walls of isolation we'd unknowingly built in our marriage. He used that conference to restore our relationship, our marriage and our lives.

We made a commitment to go to the conference every year or so and attended again in 2007. God's Word is alive, and we came away learning so much more about how God designed marriage, how He created us for each other and how He uses what we perceive as weaknesses to strengthen each other and grow in Him.

The Weekend to Remember is a great multipurpose tool- it is a how to be married guide for engaged and newly married couples, a restoration tool for broken marriages, a maintenance tool for great marriages and a springboard to the next level for good marriages. The presenters are so human, so easy to relate to, so easy to listen to and learn from.

After we attended the conference last fall, God pressed on our hearts to volunteer for FamilyLife, so we are working at the Raleigh weekend this year. Scott is a group coach and I'm on the prayer team. We'll be there at the conference, serving in whatever way God needs us to serve.

September???

Yes, it is September!!! I can hardly believe it, where did summer go? It felt like we took some time off from the house and spent more time together just slowing down in the summer heat. One decision we made back in May and have been honoring is NOT working on Sundays. Honoring God by unplugging and being more reflective and just spending time together. This past Sunday, we went to the beach...and that was awesome!

We have made great strides in August and September on the house, though. The plumbing is roughed in and ready for inspection, the electrical should be ready for inspection either the end of this week or early next. After inspection, we can install fixtures & finishes and move it! Sounds simple, but that's time consuming also. So we just thank God each day for what we are able to accomplish!! :)

So, the rooms look rough, but they are ready! In the downstairs bathroom, we've installed the shower base and we intend to clean up and install the original clawfoot tub, too. But that's all I'm going to tell you, you'll just have to tune in later to see more progress! :)

This has been the year of fulfilling promises in all areas of our lives... and that includes building the treehouse that Steven has been dreaming of since he could speak. Scott and Steven have been planning together, building together and enjoying it together. They've bought some materials and used others that came from the house and will not be reused. It's supposed to have an air of rustic...and it will. It's a process, one of which Scott and Steven are enjoying every step. They've got the platform built, next comes the house part of the treehouse!

So it's all good! God is so good and so faithful!! Stay tuned to see what's next...I know we are!
