And the worst blogger award goes to...

ME!!!
Oh you guys...I am the worst blogger ever!!  The hustle and bustle of life has not let up at all.  That unfortunately means that I have not had time to blog about anything in at least a week.
I apologize greatly for that!
  It's quiet this afternoon, so I will take a minute to catch you up on what has been going on.

Saturday we had our monthly Soul-winning Marathon, and once again God blessed immensely!
As a church we were able to see 142 people bow their heads and their hearts and accept Christ as their Savior.
15 of those were mine. (Yay!)
14 of my 15 were children ranging from ages 5-13.  (Yay!  Yay!!)
That's me taking down names of the 9 kids that got saved right there.  :o)


Once again, the majority of salvations that I saw were children.  It wasn't like I was only talking to kids, that is just how God arranged for it to work out, I guess.
He works in miraculous ways, doesn't he?
Once again, God blessed and souls were saved and lives were changed!
We are now within approx. 200 of our goal of 2011 saved in the year 2011.  PTL!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we had our Missions Conference at church.
Right before the conference began, God laid it on my heart to start a ministry that would allow us as a church to be more of a blessing to the Missionaries that we support beyond just monthly support.  This has encompassed my mind and my heart for the last couple weeks.  Well, this week I am finally able to start getting it off the ground.  I am so unbelievably excited!!!

Getting responses from our Missionaries (all over the world), hearing a little bit about their work and seeing pictures of their precious family has been so uplifting to me!!  I am convinced that God is going to use us as a church to really do a great work for him with this ministry. 
Please pray for WMS and more importantly for all Missionaries across the globe!

Ohhh..and the oil-cleansing method is awesome!!  I have gone mostly make-up free for the last week.  I use it every night and use the brown sugar scrub every few days.  My face is enjoying being able to breathe without make-up and it seems to be clearing up a little.  It feels very moisturized from the oil, but surprisingly not oily.  Who woulda thunk it?  ;o)
I made my wash with half EVOO and half Castor Oil, with a few drops of Tea Tree Oil. 
It's not the best smelling stuff that ever was, but it is tolerable.  :o)

D and the kids are doing good.  We had Horseback Riding Sunday at church this past week. 
They had a blast!


Alright, well that's all I've got for now.
Happy Wednesday to y'all!!
