what's new in March

Well, I'm trying to get other family members to post, but as of now it's just me, Jeff, writing all these.

We've successfully continued our New's Year resolution to have 1 'mini' resolution a month.

January, it was reading 4 chapters of the Bible a day (blog link here, I'm still doing it), we made it!

February was what we called 'Fast Food February', abstaining from McDonald's and the like. We made it! (but guess what we had for dinner on March 1st?)

We got to talking as a family, should we get a word that matches March, and 'M' word? Several ideas made it out there...no Meat March, no Make Up March (I was good with that one), and some others I don't quite recall. We settled on...

Music March. We're only listening to music from Christian artists this month. Should be interesting with no Justin Bieber in the house! (I like it already!)

I like this because it teaches our girls the power of self discipline. Both Olivia and Lauren couldn't believe they could make it 2009 without soda, but now there's power in the knowledge they were able to do it.

We got to go to Jackson, MI to visit our aunt and uncle there this last weekend. I spoke about CYC to Jackson Trinity church. We have some history there. Arianna grew up in this church and her dad was pastor until she was 10 and they moved to VA. We were married there on June 5, 1993. And it was our first church in ministry together from 1993-95. So going back is always cool to see friends and family there we love dearly.

Not to mention that Aunt Ethel and Uncle Mark spoil us to death while we are with them!

Please pray for our family for our protection and strength in this important ministry in which we are playing a part. If you are following my personal blog or my Facebook page, you know that God is opening the doors wide for CYC across the country.
