More to Come

More pics!!

More photos of my class!!

Pint Size Picasso's!!! My first group and favorite group of kids aged from 3-5 years. On his day we were channeling our inner 'Jackson Pollock' and were splatter painting as a group. I don't know how happy the parents were after finding paint in the hair, nose, ears, etc. of their children, but we all had a blast!!

Natalie...just a few years younger

4th of July

Getting ready to ride in the 4th of July parade at Birkdale

Earmuffs

After a wild night of dinner, celebrating Rachel's Bon Voyage (possibly for good) :o) and a little off roading on the golf course, at least two family buzzes didn't go to waste. Guess who????

Home Sweet Home.....RRRRighttttttttttttt

No more Basketball hoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that a sleeping bag under that bench next to the window; for the teenager that came home too late?

This Willow Tree is larger than the house. By the way who planted that tree??

The Pine Tree that would never grow straight, next to the house!!!
Nice fence????

Lightning Strike

During our bunker renovation last year on hole #7, lightning came from sky, out of the blue. A typical day in South Florida; rain on one side of the street and blue skies on the other. Standing 75 feet away from where the lightning hit, water poured out of the ground after a 2 ½ inch water pipe burst from the lightning strike. The fairway had been aerated the week prior, as you can see the water pouring out of the holes in the grass. All you could see and hear was a bright light and loud crash. Very lucky no body got hurt, and lightning did not strike the Track Hoe. Which, was where all eight of us were working at the time.

Flordia

We can not wait to visit Mike and Christy in Flodia only one more day!!! Love, Natalie

Restoring Relationship

Family,

Christ and I had the honor and privilege of listening too and meeting Dominic Herbst, author of the series Restoring Relationships this past week. A manual and journal, here is some info.

Life is made up of relationships between family, friends, co-workers, God, etc. Without relationships life would be very boring. In the same respect God created “relationship” for communion with man. If God’s relationship with man is the definition of how relationships are supposed to work (Matthew 22:37), then what about our other relationships, i.e. family and friends (Matthew 22:37-40).

We all have struggling relationships in our lives from friends, co-workers and even family members. In the restoring relationship journal, it will take you on a journey of discovering the root of past infected wounds. It’s like a biblical intervention. Now not all wounds can get infected, however those infected wounds tend to stay with us for a very long time and produce a fruit of bitterness. Is it possible that something in our past is still haunting us? Could a friend or family member have wounded us so dramatically that we have not realized it? Are there relational wounds of detachment, rejection, abandonment, abuse in our past? Do not be fouled, has fallen people; all EVERYONE feels like that at some point in there life. Understand that perception becomes reality in many cases and many wounds are the result of a miscommunication (Luke 17:1). Someone perceives something or takes something the wrong way and then the crazy spin cycle of emotions begins to take over our life.

Through the Restoring Relationships Journal; one can go through wounding process, understand the reconciliation process, and restore there relationship with Christ and the wounded. The unique thing about Restoring Relationships Journal is again, it forces you to go through the process of finding these wounds and infected wounds. It is an interactive process which Christi and I our going to start.

I would encourage you all to surf the web site, ask questions and ask God about your relationships in the present that have been shaped from the past. I truly believe we all know where we want to go, but sometimes do not know how to get there. This may help Christi and I get to where we want to go. www.bfsf.org

I hope that Bailey feels better! Did he eat a whole loaf of bread off the kitchen counter again? Because that would make any poor puppy sick!

Thoughts on motherhood

I just wanted to let you all know today that I am very blessed having all my children healthy and moving forward in Gods purposes for thier lives. I would also like to share with you all about a project I am involved in with kingdoms feet. I have written currriculum for the ministry team on the different hearts in the bible and now I'm going to write some for the orphanage in Ghana Africa that kingdoms feet is partnering with. I am very excited about this project and will send you the website to check out the orphanage when it gets revised. I am praying that someday I can go for a visit and see the children myself. I love you all and I'm proud to be your mom.
