He never lets go

It's hard to believe it has been a year since we launched C3. So much has happened in that year. Both in the church and in our lives.

This morning we sang the song "He never lets go". It was a great reminder to Bill and I that no matter what we walk through, He will never let go of us. He is always with us. And we can still praise Him no matter what is happening because He loves us. And in the end, we will spend eternity with Him. We sang that song with tears in our eyes but from our hearts.

Impossible

Do you ever feel like what you have to do is impossible. You can't possibly do everything that needs done in the timeframe it needs done in.

I know that is how Bill is feeling right now. So many marketing things to do for Cuppy's and not enough man power, energy or time.

I guess this is where we ask God to keep us in perspective, help us prioritize and give us energy to do the things we need to do and other resources to help us when we can't.

We need to trust that God gave the dream and what He wants to happen He will provide.

Together

It's Saturday. I am at the cafe. No one is here.

Well, that was written earlier. It was boring. I was only there a little while today. One hour of it by myself.

We were able to get Taylor's scheduled fixed at school. He has French instead of Spanish but he has all the other classes he needed.

We actually sat down to dinner tonight. We were all here and no one was at the cafe. Then we played a game and watched HSM2. It was a relaxing evening. Something that will probably not happen again for awhile.

Looking forward to worship tomorrow morning at C3.

Busy week

It's Friday and the week is almost over. It has been a very busy and full week. Taylor had band camp every day from 1:30 until 8:30. Tonight they performed the first 1/3 of the show for us. It's great to watch them improve and add to the show throughout the season.

My sister and I were able to go to a school and hand out Cuppy's coffee and coupons. Everyone who goes to that elementary school lives in the neighborhood so it was great PR.

This week we found out Taylor's tests all were negative and he is fine. Cuppy's corporate is going to help us do a bunch of marketing this next month or so to get the coffee shop up and running great. Lord willing.

Bill has a lump and he goes for a some more tests next week.

A guy the other night at Cuppy's asked us how business was and then asked if he could pray for us and proceeded to do so right then. It was cool.

I am sure there were other things that happened but those are the ones that are most on the mind.

I am looking forward to worshipping at church on Sunday morning.

The battle is not mine

It seems I think of a lot of things I'd like to say on my blog throughout the day but when I finally get to sit down my mind goes blank.

I did read a verse this morning that was an encouragement to me. 2 Chronicles 20:15 "...Do not be afraid! Don't be discouraged by this might army, for the battle is not yours, but God's." and then verse 20 "..."Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God and you will be able to stand firm."

Right now the world and its circumstances seem like a big army. But the battle is not mine. God will help me through it. He will help me stand firm.

Many things happened today. Several were encouraging; some discouraging. Even in the discouraging ones I felt strength. I know that comes from God and what moves his hand is prayers of many. I certainly could not do it on my own.

It definitely is a very stretching time but one that is drawing me closer to Jesus and ultimately that is what He wants.

First Time

Well, this is my first time blogging. I really don't know what I am doing. I set it up but we will see how it turns out. I thought of lots of things to blog about, but not while I was at my computer. Now my mind is blank. Maybe now that I have it up and running I can jump on and post something when it comes to mind.
