Prayer request

I have just spoken with a co-worker and he passed this on. His 11 year old niece lost control of her bike and was thrown into the side of a city bus in Akron, Ohio. She broke both wrists, jaw, cracked her temple and broke the bone between her nose and upper lip. Her name is Madison.

Thank you for your prayers.

To Help You Budget Your Money...

Hey everyone! I hope you all are enjoying using the website. I just wanted to put this post out there to let you know that I have placed a download link on the "Toolbox" page under the "Finance" header. This link will download an Excel Spreadsheet to your computer. The spreadsheet is a helpful week by week budget tool. I know there are a few people that have requested it from me and I sent it to them in emails. So I got to thinking that we should have it on the website for anyone to download and use. I have been using it for about 3 months now and I'm able to see where our money goes much more easy now. As always, if you have any trouble downloading or actually using the spreadsheet just let me know and I will help you in any way that I can.

Thanks and God Bless!

Quotes

I'm reading a book right now called "The Hole in Our Gospel" by Richard Stearns and I thought a lot of the quotes in his book related to what we talked about this morning in class.....

"The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
-Frederick Buechner

"Mother Teresa once said, 'I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.' She had it right. We're not authors, any of us. We are just the 'pencils.' Once we understand that, we might actually become useful to God."
-Richard Stearns

"God is a God of order. He created us all for a purpose and envisioned our lives at the very beginning of time itself. He gave us each a unique personality and a set of aptitudes and placed us each in a particular family. Day by day, He brings key people into our lives and provides life experiences that shape us. God does all of this with HIS purpose in mind, tailored to the individual-you and me."
-Richard Stearns

Anyway-just thought I'd share those! :)

Just a reminder to anyone who wants to come watch. The two FBC softball teams are playing eachother friday night at 8 at Ben Geren. There are members from both teams in our class & both teams are undefeated. It should be a good game!

Pray for a friend...

Hey, I got some bad news from a friend of mine tonight. His brother was severely injured in a car accident tonight in Van Buren. He has massive head injuries and bleeding on the brain. Please pray that the bleeding stops and that God works his miracles through the doctors.

Thank you all

Praises and Requests 6-1-09

Hello to all:

First off, Jason passed his test. Praise the Lord!!
Secondly, Toby has his new job in Van Buren. This great for him and Rachel.

God is moving in all of our lives and I want you to keep praying and looking for Him in all that you are doing.

We need to keep the following in your prayers this week if you can.

Jobs: Keep praying that we all will seek His will and not ours. God's timing is better than anything that we can ever hope for.

Travel: Please keep all of those that are on the road in your prayers. The Cavallo's will be headed home this week and there are others that are headed out this week for vacation. Please pray that God will lay His protective hands on all.

Health: We need to remember that there are those in our group that are not feeling well or are having concerns that they are meeting with Dr's about. There are many times that people are not ready to share what is happening with this in thier lives, so please pray that God will lay His hands on all each and every one of us and that He would do what needs to be done. The Lord knows who needs what and will answer them in His time.


Relationships: As we saw the last two weeks on the video, communication is key. We all communicate in different ways and we need to be learing what that is. What I want to encourage you is that if you are seeking the Lord, and your spouse is as well, you will grow stronger and closer.

Praying for all of you and have a great week.
