Church Membership

Sunday was a great day for us! We became official member of a church we have been attending for years. It was a long process to become a member. It was only a long process because we were extremely busy and preoccupied with other activities. We knew the importance of being members of a church, but we allowed the busyness of the days get in our way. Once our name was called to receive our membership cards, there was a sigh of relief and and a sense of accomplishment. We felt as if we were walking through God's golden gates!!

We have had so many life experiences together. But this experience was truly something special. You see, we were searching for a church home for a long, long time. When you are a child, church is just wherever your parents tell you to go on Sunday. When you become an adult and have more of a choice, well, you choose a church based on where you are spiritually in your life. At first we were seeking a church with a great choir. The message didn't matter as much, but the choir had to be "rockin." That was fine and dandy until we had children. As I children began to grow, we began to grow more in Christ. We decided as a couple that the choir was not as important as the message. I mean, if we could have both that would be a plus. We also needed to find a church with excellent youth and children's ministry. If we could find all of that under one roof, well, that would just be a miracle. We do beleive in miracles!!!

We have truly found everything we were looking for in a church, a real miracle!!
Everybody leaves church each Sunday full of the word and the spirit!!





It is official now! We are now officially part of a church family! Now, its really time for us to go to work for the Lord!

Husband and Wife and then Daddy and Mommy

Our family first began on our wedding day. Then, we welcomed 2 beautiful children into our family. Children have a way of making you totally realize what life is really about. Seeing what God could create from our love for one another is truly amazing! Watching our children grow everyday is the real blessing.

At the end of the day, we realize parenting is a serious job. We do not take our job lightly. We have decided to put God first in our life. We know loving one another is next. And then loving our children. How do your children spell love???? T-I-M-E. That means spending "quality time" with your children. Choose an official family night. Make it all about the family. That means, no phone calls and no texting. Engage in activities they enjoy such as Wii or playing outside. Enyoy each other while enjoying your children.

The power of touch

Never let a day go by without touching your spouse. It can be as simple as holding hands or rubbing his/her back. Just a nice brush against each other will work. But, be intentional about your touch. The power of touch is so amazing. It keeps the enemy out. It says to the other person, I am thinking about you more than you know. It shows love when there are so many challenges and obstacles you might be facing.

The power of touch, don't ever underestimate its strength. Try it today. Try it tomorrow. No, try it until death do us part!
