Troy already has a new set of wheels. The truck had some issues and Vernon was selling his car, so he decided this might be a little more reliable and a lot more cost effective on gas, so Troy jumped on the Maxima. I’m hoping this vehicle is one he keeps for a long, long time.
Powerlifting meets have begun! We love Coach Cruz and Coach Hayden! They are so encouraging and really make the practices and meets so much fun! We are keeping our fingers crossed Troy’s hard work will advance him to State this year!
We had a huge turn out for Disciple Now this year. We were able to do everything in Axtell except for the Saturday sermon, in which I we joined with Brandan’s church in Thornton again and it was great! Byron brought a great message and I know it hit the hearts of our kids! D-Now weekend is always a blast!
I don’t wanna love what the world loves
I don’t wanna chase what the world does
I only want you
I only want you
First things first
I seek Your will
Not my own
Surrender all my wants to you
Keep the first thing first
And these words keep hitting me…First Things First. I have done a daily quiet time for years now to start my day off in His Word, but I have noticed that His Word is not really first…I brush my teeth and make coffee and get situated for my quiet time, all while checking social media and emails. My mind is already distracted. If what is consumed first sinks the deepest, I want it to be His Words, so I’m fine tuning my mornings to keep first things first.
In keeping with those words, I attended a gathering today with like minded women all chasing Jesus. We spent time taking communion, encouraging one another, and spurring each other along in our faith. There’s no better way to keep first things first than to start the New Year off seeking Him!
