2010 already!

Not much is new around the Kirk House.... Between, dance, basketball, piano, and now cotillion for Allison... there is not much time for anything else.
Girls are growing, and miles are being put on the car!
I love my life....I love my family, and my friends!!!!

Happy New Year from the Kirk family!

New Year!

I can't believe it is the year 2010. I am praying for a blessed 2010. So many things to look forward to.... turning 40, my oldest turning 10, being married to the same man for 16 years, my youngest turning 8...... then there are so many things to look forward to that I don't have a clue they will happen... Join me and find out the many ways God will bless me, my family and you!

Suddenly summer!

Summer is a time for relaxing, reading, swimming, and doing a whole lot of nothing! Well, not the the Kirk household!
We began our summer by moving our good friend Larry into our house. He will be with us until he gets his knee replaced and finds a house. Larry is a welcome addition to our chaos!
We then took a vacation to Great Wolf Lodge www.greatwolf.com What an awesome time we had as a family. Over 80,000 sq feet of indoor waterpark!!!! and a fun game (Magiquest) in the hotel.
Our cousins from Lamesa came for a few days to swim and have fun!

We then had a brief visit from J's sis Kay and her family.
Vacation Bible School happened the week after the Adams family left for Colorado. I love VBS. What a ministry it is! We have over 200 children attend and the majority of the children are from the Daycare at the YMCA! How awesome is it to share Jesus with so many children. This year I switched gears and taught 2nd grade! I had been directing the nursery for a very long time. I knew I needed to change my ministry focus.
The Adams family came back through town, on an even breifer (is that a word) visit than before! We did get to have breakfast with them, as well as J's cousin Sherry and her family from Grapevine. They were on their way home from a vacation in El Paso.
We got everyone back on the road to their homes and the girls and I packed for GA Camp. We had a wonderful 4 days of missions, Bible Study, Worship, and fun!
We came back home to clean house for a bridal shower of a wonderful newly married couple!
Sunday we got to celebrated Father's Day with my dad and mom and Keith and Judy! What a wonderful day for family.
Monday we began Soccer camp.... Allison that is. Keely got to hang our with me!
Next week is Tennis, Larry's knee replacement, and a visit from Larry's son Josh!

And the summer is not even half over!
I love that my job allows me to spend time opening my home to lots of different people, and spending time with my family!
Thank you Lord for blessing me beyond measure.

GA Camp

GEM Camp - a camp for Girls Exploring Missions!
We had a wonderful time at Circle 6 Ranch in Stanton, TX! We have great Bible studies, awesome worship, and fabulous fellowship!

Mother's Day

I have had a great Mother's Day. I had breakfast cooked for me. I worshiped. And had dinner with a great mother and great mother-in-law and my sister.
This morning in church our Minister of Education made a great point. Not every woman has a child, but everyone has been touched by a mother. Some of our mothers have gone on to be with the Lord, let's remember them on this great day! I lost my Mother-in-law 2 1/2 years ago. She was a great woman! She loved the Lord and her family. She is missed! But God put another mother-in-law in may life. She does not replace Sue, she is an addition to my family. Judy loves the Lord and her family! How many people are blessed to have two fabulous mother-in-laws in their lifetime.
I have a great mother too! She has taught me many things. I can cook, do laundry, and clean house. She has also taught me to love my husband, love my children, and love the Lord. I am blessed to have a mother that loves the Lord and her family!
Thank you God for putting Godly women in my life!

Alleluia He is Risen!

I love Easter! Growing up I thought is was just about the Easter bunny, getting new clothes and hunting eggs! In 1985, I learned why we celebrate Easter. Jesus came to save us from our sins. We was crucified on a cross, buried, and rose again on the third day! So for 24 years, I have been celebrating a risen Savior! Thanks be to God for sending His Son to save a sinner named Heather!
