Verse of the Week

"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." Philippians 4:6-7 The Message

One of my favorite verses! Why do we worry about things? Because that's what we do best. So next time you catch yourself worrying about something...PRAY!

Have a great week Rolling Stoners! :-)

Verse of the Week

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” - Matthew 7:12

Wow! If that's not plain as day, I don't know what is?! I teach at a public school, and I still teach my kids this everyday! So....as the Golden Rule says...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

Have a great week Rolling Stoners!!

New Year, New Goals

We all look forward to a new year, and an opportunity to better ourselves. I'm not a big resolutions person, but I always try to take a look at my life and see if it truly reflects how God would want me to be. Though one resolution is to take better care of this blog. If you come across anything you want to add, please email me at MBL6613@gmail.com , I would LOVE some material to put on here.

I hope each one of you is able to slow down, make time for your beloveds, and especially make time to grow and deepen your relationship with our Father. It amazes me every day, that He wants to hear from me!

We have been talking about generosity in ABF with Brett and Tyler leading the way. God has been so generous with me. His patience, His protection, His compassion, His pursuit of me. I am definitely thankful for the last one!


A few upcoming events:

January 29th: Women's Birthday Celebration @ 10AM. Tickets are $8 each.

February 12th: Valentine's Day party @ The Leidner's. We will be bringing different toiletries to pack up for the SEALs mission team.

March 18th: This is the neighborhood party that Pastor John was talking about to wrap up Mission South Irving. Anyone want to volunteer their house and neighbors???


Care Groups:

Since our class is becoming so big, Care Group Leaders, please make sure you are scheduling events with your groups.

Baby/Wedding Showers:

This will be left up to each individual care group. The ABF will still schedule meals for after babies are born.
