Little Texas and FunLife

Well this weekend was fantastic! But the best day was definitely Sunday! Hunter and I went to lunch with dad, Ann, Carter, and Caroline at Niffer's!  After lunch we were going to go to Chewacla, however we decided to just keep driving past the turn off to go to Chewacla. So we drove and drove and finally we got to this little fire station with a flashing sign that said Little Texas.  But... we kept driving and so we got to this old closed down cafe that looked like it was straight out of an old movie.  It had to have been so precious at one time. (I really wish I had pictures to share... however, we didn't take many but just picture this in your mind) Well, we turn around to go back and I tell Hunter we should turn on this road where the Little Texas fire station is.  So he turns, and we see a sign for this place called The Village at Little Texas.  We are following the signs to get there and we stumble upon this place called the Hillbilly Mall.  Which looked too cool, so we got out and looked around there for a good hour.  There were antiques, wooden signs, old windows and doors, and old bottles.  It was so cool!  So we got back on the road to go to this Village thing.  We finally get there and when we pull into the parking lot we both kind of look at each other like, uh is this where we're supposed to be?  Looked nothing like what we thought it was going too!  So anyway, this is the story: this presh old couple had 3 acres of land. the first thing the old man built on his land was this huge playground for his grandchildren to play on. well then he started building shops for each of his grandchildren. there's a floral shop, a eating place, Easter/candle shop, Christmas shop, antique shop, Halloween barn, a beautiful wedding chapel, and a stage for concerts.  Then we met Morgan and Jenny at Winn-Dixie. Then we went to sno biz to finish off our lovely date!

Moral of this story: 

get a cute boy and go driving one Sunday when you have nothing else to do, it turns into a great date, and you get to discover new places and things :)

So last night Meg, Joy, and I got two new girls on our Capernaum team! Whitney and Hannah! yay! But first, we will not be calling it Capernaum because children with special needs are already so different and have all these labels, so we are going to call it FunLife, it sounds a lot more like YoungLife, plus it is going to be tons of fun! I cannot tell you how excited I am about the journey that Christ has in store for us! FunLife is going to be the coolest ministry ever. So here are some quotes and verses that Meg shared with us last night that I really like.

"But when you have a banquet, invite the poor, 

the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed." 

Luke 14:13

"Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. 

All things pass. 

God does not change. 

Patience achieves everything." 

Mother Teresa
