I'm drinking from my saucer...

'cause my cup has overflowed. Had you heard that before? I have a very foggy memory of it being sung before. If I knew the tune, I'd be singing it today! Perhaps I'll just make up my own tune - one with no rhyme or reason and just sing/hum/whistle variations of it all the livelong day! We were very privileged yesterday to have Captain Harmon Schmelzenbach deliver our message in Sunday's service. What a dynamic speaker with a blessed and rich history of ministry for the Lord. Captain Harmon is a fourth generation missionary in charge of the Nazarene Maritime Ministries program. He and his lovely family operate in and around Fiji. If you want a real blessing, visit the Fiji Boat website at www.fijiboat.org - you won't regret it! We were entertained, challenged, inspired and invigorated. As the minister of music said, "If that don't light your fire, your wood's wet!" Grammar aside (for it simply must be said that way), he was spot-on accurate. Thank you, Captain Harmon, for breathing a portion of your life into our church. We won't ever be the same again. Oh and by the way, if I'm not mistaken, the S kids are homeschooled. < wink wink > On the home front, we purchased a much-needed new couch this weekend. It's a lovely camel back with generous arms and firm, comfy cushions. Now to save for a new chair! Hyperkid leaves for church camp a week from today. Mama.is.not.happy. Don't get me wrong, it'll be good for him and he'll be fine and safe and have a blast and make new friends and learn about the Lord and maybe not get homesick and maybe forget mama's soft lap and maybe inch away from me a little and maybe I'm being selfish but I only have him for a few short years. And yes, I know that's a run-on sentence but it's been running on in my head for the past 3 days. And will for many more, I'm sure. < sigh > They will grow up, won't they. By the way, you can always tell when I post from work because the formatting is usually all off. I'll fix it when I get home.

As for hyper kid... boy??? My youngest is one of those. I look back over the last 15 years with him and find so much joy in remembering all the craziness he brought (and still brings) into our lives! There are kids that require a lot more energy to deal with. Whenever I see a mom with one such as mine, I have to smile. Our son took 14 years to sleep through the night. He has been high maintenance all the way. Now... he sleeps.. like.., A LOT. He is finally growing, much to his delight. I had to buy him new shoes this weekend... size 11 on his 5'5", 123 lb. frame. Yes, they do grow up.. and much too quickly for my taste. Enjoy!

In Him, KellyJean

That was one of the best missionaries I've ever heard! I remember the ones when I was little coming to FC. Talk about a few things but oh so boring. Maybe it had more to do with my age too? LOL Seems like every service is aimed right at me though. Stepping out of comfort zones, reaching out to help someone ... ARGH!! I'm scared and excited about this new adventure all at the same time. If the next year plays out the way God is planning it play out, our church is in for a huge shock. LOL Listen to me "If" when God plans something it always plays out. Silly me.

Hi!

I stopped by to say thanks for commenting on my blog. So thanks!
We just dropped our oldest (14) dd off at Worldview Academy four hours away from home on a college campus for 5 days. She has been at camp before, but close to home, so this was a little bit nerve wracking! They do grow up way too fast...........

In Christ,

Amy
