I Love this Church

I love this church. Ever since I was 12 it has been my life, which is not at all a bad thing. I love every single person who goes here. Yall are all very awesome.

Thoughts to ponder and wonder:)

A lot has taken place over the last year... It almost seems a blur to look back on the events of the last year. On the major side of things, since last year we added on to the sanctuary (it will presently seat about 140 MAX), we have added a whole bunch of great new people to the church (we run about 130 if we could get everyone there), we are adding on new classrooms as we speak... God has blessed us in many ways over the last year BUT new faces are always the biggest blessing!
It is hard to believe that Victory Church has actually been here over 5 years now. I remember a few years ago (2001/2002) we didn't know hardly anyone in this wonderful town of ours. But sitting in the car at the red light at Texas and 2818, I told the kids that within a few years we will pull up to any intersection at any time and be able to wave at people that go to our church. This is beginning to be the case. The other day we saw Sis Myers and the kids at one red light, went to the next one and saw someone else... (I can't remember who :O)!

Isn't God good...
I realized a recipe for Spiritual Success the other day and did a very poor job of telling our church the recipe but in essence it goes something like this:

1 part Promise (the word) + 1 part Power (God) (so far this is His part, but it changes...) + 1 part Faith (Us) + 1 part Work (Us) = Spiritual Success!

If you think about it and you look over the Word of God, this recipe applies in every instance of God's blessing of mankind.
Gideon, Moses, Abraham, David, Peter, Paul and now US!
Praise God, we have a promise, but it takes more than a promise!
I am ready, willing and able to do ALL things through Christ that strengthens ME!

Step out! If God has given you a promise, He has the power to fulfill it, if we have the faith to DO IT!

cRaZy!!!!!!!!

I have determined that our church is full of crazy people :^); but that IS good!

This is the best group of people in the entire world! They love Jesus with all their hearts and they love to live life to it's fullest. That is what it is all about!
I wish that I had more pictures, I was too busy laughing to take pictures...

Life in it's greatest form is living a full life for Jesus!

This is the floor this morning after one coat of stain, he has one more coat and a clear finish to put on top of this. He said he will be able to finish all of that today. :^) They do a very professional job; before they leave today, they will have a reinforced plastic sheeting on top of the entire floor, stapled to the toe plates and sealed with tape and glue. Then after everything is done, you take up the sheeting and install your base boards or trim. Waaalaaa - Floor is complete.

This is after Trusses, Electrical and Air Conditioning are installed... this is the concrete "artist" :) staining the floor. We can't move around in the building until after tonight (Tuesday) as if any sawdust or dirt is knocked loose onto the floor, it will mess up the great work he has done.

Finally

I was finally able to get the camera, the computer and myself in the same place at the same time... Here are some pictures of our new classroom addition. Oh yeah, here in a few months we have three mothers to be that will be giving us a few new additions:). We can't wait for that.

This is about a week ago... Before the trusses were put up.
