Happy May!

IT'S MAY!
What a bittersweet month! May is a month of celebration, it's also a month where I spend a ton of money! My mom and best friend's birthday is the same day, Mother's Day is two days after that, and my sister's birthday is the day after that! Jeez. But that's okay, I really love buying people gifts! This year, there is more celebration because our wedding anniversary is this month along with Angela and John's wedding anniversary! YAY! I can't believe it has already been a year!!
A couple weeks ago, some friends of ours started coming to church with us! YAY! Some great things are happening at FBC Rogers; we are moving to our new building next month sometime which is so awesome--on Sunday, we got to go sign the concrete floor before they lay the carpet this week which was fun and we recently got a new youth pastor who seems to be way awesome, all of the kids and teens seem to love him. There has also been hard times recently for people in the church; FBC Bentonville's hispanic congregation was involved in a bus accident resulting in 1 killed and several injured, so we have been praying for them, also, the little girl who was shot and killed last week attended FBC Rogers with her parents so we have been praying for them as well.
In light of the first earthquake to ever be recorded in Benton County, my mother-in-law sent me a verse; Matthew 24: 6-8 (NIV)

6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not
alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and
earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

WOW! When I read this, I rejoiced because I am so excited for our Lord to come back for us! That's something that's on the top of my list to experience and if things keep going the way they have been, I think I might get to experience it! YAY!

I really didn't anticipate for this post to be so long so I'll get off here now!
Thanks for reading!
