I have tried for 2 weeks to figure out something to blog about. Life is obviously boring here at the Jones house! Nothing new, sending out resumes, but no luck as of yet. God is still with us, and keeping us in good spirits!
I have been asked to oversee the Easter Egg Hunt at our church, and I am excited. It has been a long time since I have done a Holiday activity and I am ready for the task. We are going to have games and of course, the Egg Hunt for the little ones, an Amazing Race for the teenagers with Biblical obstacles, and BINGO for the adults! We will end with door prizes after a devotional with our Student Minister, Daryl.
I have finally been able to update our church website. I designed it last year, and the hosting had some issues which have been fixed, so I am on the ball again. I love doing the website, and feel that it is a great way for me to use the talent God gave me for Him. I have been able to learn so many historical things about my great church, and am proud to be a member. You can check it out at http://www.mtpleasantbaptistsc.org/. Pray that God continues to inspire me with new things to create and upload for His glory!
We attended Meredith's Fine Arts in Greenville this week. She got an Excellent rating on her photography and a Superior rating for her Vocal Ensemble with the other 5th grade girls. I am so proud of her. Emily has started softball practice 4 days a week, so we are on the go again. I am so proud of her too. My girls mean the world to me, and I hope they know how much I love and appreciate them.
In saying that, let me ask to you to please be in prayer for a friend of mine from high school. Becky Cox (Bolt) and I went to school together from 5 years of age to 18. This week she lost her 10 year old son. I do not even want to imagine the hurt her and her family are experiencing. I know that God has His reasons and that He has the child in His care, and that He will get them through this hard time. Just please pray for them, and while you are at it, hug your child today! Tell them you love them. Its something we should continually do, and sometimes we forget in our day to day lives. I am pledging to do better, make sure my kids know that Mommy loves them always! Will you join me?
Until next time.....

I am always proud of the things the girls do and are involved in at school and church. I feel they will continue to serve in God's Army. They are very special and I love them very much.
ReplyDeleteI will pledge with you Tamara to hug yours,Jennifers and all others that I can and let the know that I love them. Children are special even when they can try your last nerve at times. God let us borrow them for a time and we should thank him everyday for that honor.
My heart has bled for Becky,her husband and family. For Jimmy and Wanda being a grandparent myself I can not even begin to put myself where they are right now. They are good people and I know that they love and serve the Lord Jesus. How in the world would you even begin to handle such a loss without him in your life to lift you and keep you going.
Tamara keep serving Jesus and he will never let you down. YOu may thing you are not going to see daylight again but he has never let anyone down. Keep Praising him in all things. I love you, Mama
