Soccer State Send Off!

The last couple weeks have been busy at the kid's school. Last weekend Jordan's soccer team made it again to the final four State tournament. Unfortunately they lost after two over times when it came down to penalty kicks. Last year they won state and since this is only their 2nd competitive season they still did great, losing only two games in two years. The first pictures below are of the send off at school (along with the girls VB team who also made it to state). Madi and Kailee are middle school cheerleaders so all were dressed up to send them off.

Last Friday was the annual Renaissance Festival. The entire middle school and high school dress up in period costumes and the kids have booths that serve food or do activities in keeping with the time period. It is a fun day with dancing, a play and a time to take a break from the normal school day.

Pray for my mom!

I know those of you who read my blog are prayer warriors and we all have seen God do miracles in the lives of many in the AW family and beyond. Well, I am asking for your prayers for my mom, Judy. She received news last week that is taking her to the Mayo Clinic this Thursday for more tests. Our prayer is her cancer is treatable. It is so difficult to be far away at this time but am extremly grateful for my sister and brother who live close by, her dear church family and wonderful friends who are walking through this with her and my dad. It is truly remarkable to be part of His family where we bear each others burdens...He is our Hope!!!!

Thankful Thursday

It has been forever that I have posted a thankful Thursday. Not that I am not thankful......I just really don't like posting when I don't have pictures to go with it BUT....in light of this week I feel the need to remember Who is on the throne!!! Aside from the national news my family received some really hard news also. Where would we be without the hope that Jesus gives us? I am grateful that He is the one who sees it all, knows us intimately, carries our burdens, gives us joy in the midst of it all, restores, redeems, heals, saves, is Eternal and above all is ALWAYS on the throne and is not suprised by anything!

I also wanted to leave you with a challenge. I follow Angie's blog. She posted an awesome idea and I would invite you to join with me. I have titled my blog In The Light of Eternity because it is how we try to live our lives...with an eternal perspective and honestly weeks like this week can get us focussed on the right now. Her post is what life is really about so check it out and join with me!

May you all find Thanks in today!!!!! (And in case you haven't seen it check out the picture below of two of the sweetest three year olds!)
