Well not exactly, but I HAVE been painting but its the church ladies bathroom I was painting. I wouldn't post about such a mundane task except I had to paint it a total of 4 times. The color I originally chose turned out horrific. I picked it out to coordinate with a picture I had purchased-at the store it was a perfect match but once it was on the walls of a tiny windowless bathroom...it looked hideous. The color was called "February Gold" which to me sounds heavenly and the color swatch was very nice-sort of a deep buttery goldish color. Even the first wall looked great-but once all four walls were slathered with it I wanted to puke. All I could think was Gerber Baby Food Squash. Everywhere I looked I saw that color in a negative light-the road stripes even reminded me of it. I finished the job late Tuesday night around 11:30, I was so disappointed I went home and vowed no one would see those walls the way they were-that I would get up early Wednesday morning to buy more paint and have it finished before service Wednesday night. I did it too! I went and bought "Churchill Hotel Yellow Haze" by Valspar...definitely an improvement but now the color has no punch at all. Its rather plain however, as opposed to the prior I am satisfied.
Rule #1: Don't try wild crazy colors in a 6x6 square foot bathroom.
Anyhow, all's well that ends well, I completed the trim last night and I must say it looks really good!
On another note, the kids and I planted all our seeds for our garden today. We must have been very hungry when we bought our seeds because we have enough plantings and seeds leftover to plant 5 more gardens at least!
We planted everything you can imagine from oregano to tomatoes (several varieties)...now fingers are crossed that everything will sprout! I thought this would encourage my boys (veggie haters) to want to eat more vegetables however, Caeden was all for planting seeds but would adamantly state that he was not going to be eating those yellow "hings". ("things" meaning yellow crook-necked squash) Sigh...well, perhaps when its picking time he'll come around.
The weather has been so beautiful, all of the orchards are in bloom. I think tomorrow we'll go on a picnic and take some photos for Easter...
Our mission is to help parents and teachers to prepare our little arrows to approach life with bravery and courage; to love learning and God's Word, and to be given the tools to grow and develop into strong individuals, in body, soul, and spirit.

No Limits-The Conference
Wow. All I can think to say right off is wow...
We had such an AWESOME time at No Limits this year! For those of you not fortunate to be aware, No Limits is a spectacular conference held annually in Elk Grove, CA. by The Rock Church. It was absolutely incredible-how could it be anything otherwise with such a magnificent church body to push it through.
On Friday evening, we had a very special service where my husband and I, along with many other couples, had the distinct honor of being ordained. It was such a memorable and meaningful time in our lives. We were presented with a certificate of ordination, a special Bible and also a towel symbolic of servitude. Several precious people from Turningpoint Worship Center came to support us-thank-you! We love you so much...
Today, my husband had the privilege of preaching at TRC and during the service there was special thanks and recognition given to particular individuals responsible for doing what it takes for a conference such as No Limits to take place. They did an outstanding job as usual. (This was the 7th year) As each and every helper was acknowledged, I could not help but think to myself that yes, it takes an incredible church body to fulfill the required tasks however, unless the head that turns the neck of the body is engaged with annointing and power nothing would be accomplished. Bishop and Sis. Wilson, Pastor and Sis. Young, YOU are the ones who deserve the standing ovation of gratitude and appreciation for building such a church as TRC and allowing the saints of the most High to be become capable enough to follow your leading and passion for the cause of not only No Limits but also for continuing to fulfill the purpose of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. I LOVE my leadership immensely, I admire them wholeheartedly and I desire to be like them in every aspect that I can. So let it be known...I stand one hundred and fifty percent behind the leadership of TRC...what more could anyone ask for? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so true. I love you.
