We have 35 on our roll in Sunday School class. They are all either 8 or 9 years old. My husband always has testimonies before the prayer requests. This week a new little boy, Wilonja (he has recently moved here from Africa) raised his hands when Jerry asked if God had did anything good for anybody this week. In beautiful English he said, "He woke me up happy." Folks that is BIG! My heart is still overflowing. Do you realize how many people did not wake up this morning. And those that did wake up how many of them were not happy. I also had a conversation with another young man Frederic he just moved here by way of Tongo, Africa, then to Missouri, and now resides in Nashville...he told me that he loved Africa. He said, "Africa is really fun. You can play outside any time you want! The church was right across the street from my house. We also had a zoo down the road , but there are no animals in it." He made me want to go! I wish I lived right across the street from church! These gentleman reminded me of the really important things in life for children and adults...wake up happy, play outside any time you want, and it is important where the church is in your life!
I teach Sunday School...I learn more than the kids do every week!

I have a new love. It is Evy's Tree. You can find them at http://www.evystree.blogspot/. com. The clothes are so pretty and practical! I have entered a contest for a wrap or a cutoff. I can't wait I am drooling over this line.
This is the silver peony...very pretty.
Coral Rose...so feminine.
The Brita Cutoff is also just a beautifully comfortable looking work of art.

Registration for school tomorrow!
Yuck! I am not ready to get up at 6:00 every morning. I am not ready to give up being with my kids and doing whatever we want whenever we want. It is 100 degrees and nobody should have to go to school during the summer. I know cry me a river. Whether I am ready or not registration is tomorrow starting at 7 a.m. YUCK YUCK YUCK. Friday is their first day. A full day at that. We are heading out of town as soon as the kids get home from school for a campmeeting in KY with great friends...so that will make a yucky day a YAY kind of day. Very thankful for the teacher Jaden has this year, have heard great things. She loves science and is great with boys...very important to my boy. Sophie has some of her favorite kindergarten friends in her first grade class so she is very happy. So I guess I need to go to bed YUCK because I have to get up at ...well early...YUCK. Okay, I'm done.
Kairos
Learned a new thing from Bro. Becton tonight....Kairos. The Ancient Greeks had two words for time Chronos and Kairos.While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature. In the New Testament kairos means "the appointed time in the purpose of God", the time when God acts. Bro. Becton spoke of Saul and that God brought him up to speed in a Kairos moment. To God a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. Kairos time will allow believers new or stagnant to be brought up to speed in a short amount of time.
