At my Gammy and Gandaddy's house in Orlando there is a showcase of all the food that our family has enjoyed over the years. We consider the dishes comfort food. The list contains anything from inside jokes to loved classics. Some of the food may not be as delicious as some other gourmet dishes, but the idea that they are "family recipes" past down over so many years makes them that much more special. Without these recipes my family meals would not be the same! It's funny how over so many years the recipes remain and only improve. 

Top 5 things that Preschool children love to do while in school:

Overall working with children brings joy and excitement, pain and tears; however they fill me with an overwhelming sense of purpose. I am so thankful for these little creatures that God places into mommies and daddies arms. They are some of the most annoying and lovable little creations I have ever seen. If God has blessed you with a child treat them properly, like the most precious gift from the Father. 

One day... a long time from today... I pray that God will bless me with something so amazing and I only can hope that I can take care of my children like my Father in heaven would wish. 

I have had this dream of becoming a wedding planner for some time now and now that I am an intern for Brides Rule, a wedding planning company, my standards for weddings are altered. 

I attended a wedding recently that was not up to my standards. It started an hour late, their were children screaming, people walking around, poor organization of event, and overall it was irritating to watch. Although the bride and groom looked gorgeous and are truly lovely people, their wedding could have been dramatically changed if they had some assistance from someone that has been in the business of wedding planning. The whole time i sat their shaking my head as i reminded myself "It's not my wedding. I didn't plan this wedding." After the 17th time of repeating these words to myself Andres turns to me and says, "I know babe you've already said that plenty of times." 

The night was long and after sitting on my behind for over 3 hours straight I was ready to leave. But then the music finally started and Andres jumps up with his Colombian hips moving ready to dance his little heart out on the dance floor. I get dragged out of my chair and proceed to find my joy, Andres. His smile will bring me out of the horror of a tragic wedding and into the enjoyment of a good dance together. We then danced to several songs when we realized it was late and us old farts had to get home so we could get some sleep. The night started poor, but left me with a smile on my face. 

I was searching around and I found this hilarious sign that I think should be everywhere!

Check it out here on Matt Millers Blog . I assure you that you will laugh out loud and want to put up this sign in every public area.

We sat around our beach house living room and played the ever popular game, catch phrase. As we began to get a better grasp of the game and start to enjoy each other, the differences of opinions about the rules turned into a huge conflict. I was offended by a certain way the game was being played, but others were validating these strategies. When my opinion was not agreed with I grew frustrated. 

The house is a beach house decorated in fish and boats as well as lighthouses and plastic plants. The combinations of overwhelming knickknacks takes over this quaint home. Although the house is the epitome of an overdone beach themed house, the time has been pleasantly relaxing.  

We attended a church down here in Fort Myers; the church full filled the mold that we had been looking for in a vacation church to attend. Although we were able to sit through the service and gain some knowledge to bring back to FRC, the experienced made me yearn for the worship I enjoy at FRC. Our worship team, teaching, and overall environment at FRC surpassed this church my miles. I feel blessed to be a part of a team working to reach the people in our world that would normally be left behind. 

I just love how sometimes God sneaks ideas into your life and you fall in love with them! I am ridiculously grateful for the challenge and chance to grow as a Christ follower and truly embrace our idea at FRC about being One Church Where You Are.
