Jam Packed Weekend

Will and I had an extremely busy weekend. I already posted pictures of the WSC carnival Friday night. Will is still recovering from the cold water in the dunking booth. It was a lot of fun!

Yesterday morning, Will and I took Gracie to the vet. She’s been really sick this past week. Come to find out, she’s been having anxiety now that Will is working all day and not home with her like she’s use to. The vet said it’s just a transition period and it should pass. Thank goodness. Aren’t dogs funny…as my dear friend Sandy says, “Dogs are like small children that never grow up.” So true…but we love them anyway. Last night, Will and I worked at another Red Wings game to help raise money for the junior class. Once again, we had fun but it made for a LONG day.

Today, I performed for the Kids Stuf (Stuf is actually spelled this way) program at Webster Bible Church. Kids Stuf is an interactive children’s minister. This is WBC’s first year to use the curriculum. Kids Stuf is really a brilliant program and there are plenty of ministry opportunities for people of all ages and talents. I’m part of the skit crew and I play a character named Samantha. The other characters and I do just about anything silly, humorous, outrageous…basically anything over the top in order to get a good laugh from the kids. But of course, the best part is that it’s all relevant to the Bible lessons. I’m including some pictures as well as a couple of links to some skits/videos that I’ve participated in. All you have to do is click on the link and enjoy!

Me and Megan Christen (The Christens, along with several other families and volunteers, work tirelessly to ensure Kids Stuf is successful and fun for the kids each and every week.)

After church Will grilled hamburgers for lunch. They were delicious and huge! Will calls his infamous burgers the “Big Mouth Burgers” and every time he makes them they get bigger and bigger. But so long and he’s the one cooking I’m not complaining. Now that I’m completely stuffed from eating one of Will’s big mouth burgers, Gracie and I plan to take our typical Sunday afternoon nap. Is there anything better than a Sunday nap? Can I get an “amen”!?!

One of Will's favorite things to do...cook on the grill!

Will and Gracie. Buddies forever!


Will's big mouth burger! (I told you they're HUGE!)


Later today, we’re going to give Gracie her weekly bath and I’m going to prepare for the upcoming week. Please pray for me this week. The Junior/Senior Banquet is this Friday and there is still MUCH to do before we are completely ready for the event. Please pray that all the details will come together and that it will be a fabulous evening for everyone. Please also pray for Will's midterm evaluation this week. Will is doing his summer internship at ARC of Monroe and thankfully he loves every minute. So far he’s received a lot of praise for his hard work and dedication. We’re so thankful that God continues to confirm that PT is the perfect profession for Will.

Thanks for your prayers and thanks for sharing these experiences with us through our blog.

Praying even now that God who began a good work (through you, Shannon,) in coordinating all the details of His plans for this week, that He will PERFECT them, completing each thing in perfect time and covering all with His peace and joy.

That God through His Spirit will strengthen you and come along side as your Helper, bringing just the right ones to fill in with their gifts. May God bless the work of your hands!!!

That God has gone before Will and blessed Him because of his perseverance and faithfulness. May God grant him perfect peace in every thought, in every trusting of Christ for everything in his life. Ily both sooo! Mollie
