Another First Together
Hello, WINTER! This past week was quite a shock to our bodies after being in warm Mexican weather all last week! We came home to LOTS of snow, a snow storm the next day that closed schools, ice that covered the roads the whole week, and frigid temps that made going outside unbearable at times….
As I think about Christmas being just around the corner, I can’t help but think about how I live my life!? Do I live my life for ideas of who I want to be and the stuff I surround myself with, or do I live in contentment, joy, and peace? Dan and I were busy…
Here’s what’s been going on this past week! It was mighty windy this week, so we knew the waves of Lake Michigan were going to be some rollers! Made it out there and thought Mazy was going to blow away! She was a trooper, that’s for sure! Friday night we went to the Horizon Complex…
As I was thinking about what to blog about on this Thrifty Thursday and I kept coming back to the Jesus Calling I read today for February 14. Give yourself fully to the adventure of today. Walk boldly along the path of Life, relying on your ever-present Companion. You have every reason to be confident,…
Growing up, how did you view the Bible? Did you see it as a list of do’s and don’ts? Did you see it as a guide on how to live the “goody-goody” life? I was thinking back to my childhood and I can’t say I saw it as a list of do’s and don’ts, but…

Thank you once again for sharing your heart with us! So glad we could provide you with a "Fun Run" and be used by God to bless you today! Thank you also for blessing CMCS by your participation. Even though you talk about you and Dan racing, there were 715+ who were racing/walking with you to support CMCS! Your "First" is also a blessing to that family that is in need of tuition assistance or a bus ride to school. Amazing how God accomplishes so much through the corporate working of His people!
Your story also brought a tear to my eye as I also sit here reflecting on Elias and his heart. So happy he could compete this year as well! We anxiously await his July 31 appointment to hear what the Dr.s have to say about his 6 month Echo-Cardiogram. The tech that did the test said he notices some leaking, but couldn't tell if it was good or bad because he has no records of where Elias was at after his surgery.
Day by day. Faith in Christ. All is well.
Kevin
Thank you for your message Kevin! That is crazy that 715+ ran/walked today! That is mind-boggling to even think about! And for such a good cause- a cause we believe in :). I too, think of Elias as he has so much ahead of him yet. What will his life look like? What does God have in store for His future? That is where the comforts of Heidelberg Catechism 1 comes in – we are not our own, but belong BODY and SOUL to our faithful Savior Jesus Christ. I bet July 31 cannot come sooner. May God give you peace of mind and heart as you anticipate that time. Keep me posted! You and Jen are amazing people 🙂
