Happy Anniversary Revelation Church




Hello friends,
We had a very blessed, rejuvenating, awesome weekend at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park celebrating God's goodness to our church over the past year. 80% of churches do not make it past the first year and Revelation Church has been a church for one year now. Praise God! Almost all of the families in the church went to the retreat/anniversary celebration. We shared meals, fellowship, incredible worship and lots of fun together! We had amble free time on Sat. to play or rest! We chose to go geocaching! It snowed while we were there and we saw some wildlife! The elk come down from the mountains in the fall and roam the town. Wild! So here are a few new pictures from our digital camera that died this weekend(so we will be returning it on Monday and searching for a new one) Although, I loved taking the pictures and seeing it right then and now I can blog them right away. :)) I could only post 3 pictures for some reason. :)

Lessons from God: God reminded me in such a tangible way this weekend that He and He alone deserves my praise and worship even when I am in a trial. We sang "Still I will Worship You" on Sat. night and I was struck by the words "When you move in a way that I would not have planned, still I will worship you!" I know God has us at our jobs right now for a reason and even though I don't know God's master plan, still I will worship Him and I will stand and proclaim that He is my God!
We pray that you have a blessed week!
Later taters,

Hello bloggers!

Hello fellow bloggers,
HI!!!! I think the only person that checks our blog regularly is Heather, so here is an update for you! We started school this week!! Finally! It has been an adventure as we don't have a buiding yet and our school is meeting at a church. We take everything down and make it look like a church again every Wed. and Fri. We have come the conclusion that our worlds are reversed: our school meets in a church and our church meets at an elementary schoool! Craziness! It was a challenging week, but by Thurs. and Fri. both Brian and I realized there is a reason we do what we do: teach!! Because we do love kids!!!

We are very blessed that for four weeks in a row we get to see TX folks! Last week we saw my grandmother who was here for one night in CO Springs. Last night we saw my cousin and her husband who was also here visiting. Next week we get to see a friend of mine who I used to teach with in McKinney. Then the next weekend we will see Brian's aunt and uncle from Dallas. We feel so blessed!

We are in the process of researcing digital cameras and as soon as I get it I will learn how to put more pics on the blog.

We have a new hobby that we enjoy with our pastor and his wife: geocaching! It is so fun! You use a GPS system and go on a scavenger hunt looking for a treasure! You should all try it! You can go to www.geocaching.com to learn more about it.

We also love continuing to learn lessons God is teaching us! Through our jobs we feel God is teaching us to trust him with everything, including our professions! We know He wants us here and wants us at our new school.

Thanks for listening! Have a fabulous week!
