For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth
to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. -
2 Chronicles 16:9
In January 2006 Pastor Bob asked us to close our eyes and visualize where we would be in December 2006. He told us to dream big, to have a vision that scared us...we saw our family in NC. Through lots of prayer and God's amazing grace, here we are in Faison, a small town of 765 in eastern NC. The community is so very friendly and caring, where folks go out of their way to talk to each other. It's so difficult to describe with words- it is truly something you have to experience. We feel and see God's grace all around us, in the people we meet and in each other. God has so truly blessed us! So we encourage you to pray, visualize something big for yourself in 2007 and let God show Himself strong in your life!
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.

18 Days and counting...
So, today after work, Scott went directly to the house to do some work...
Upstairs bathroom: He filled in the small strip of sheetrock left to be installed. Then I taped and mudded it. Downstairs bathroom: Scott hung sheetrock so we've actually got some privacy! Whoo hoo!
