A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax,and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


After reading this, I am inspired! I pray that I can be adored by my children and my husband. I pray that the way that I care for them blesses their lives and that I make a difference in their daily lives.
We moved down to Texas the day after school got out, and tonight is the last night of summer. We spent all summer down here at Sunny Glen. We have had our challenges and adjustments, but overall we are so excited that we are here in this place.
I thank God that he has brought us here. My husband Jason is so amazing. He is such a blessing to me. He is so patient. He is so loving. Watching him and working side by side with him is such a wonderful gift. Also I love that we are here a a family. Sometimes this is hard and challenging because we sacrifice personal family time for the job, but also we are always together as a family. We are growing together. Christopher amazes me. He talks about God and everything with such maturity and confidence. Thank you Jesus for all that you are doing in his little life. He has such an amazing spirit. He loves you. He told me he loves you more than anyone in the world. That is beautiful! Protect him and help us to be able to give him all the time and attention he needs to grow into the amazing child, adult, and disciple.

Praise You In This Storm w/ Lyrics!!

I dedicate this song to the experiences I am currently living. Hurricanes tornades earthquakes rip through our lives.....these physical storms destroy houses....but also emotional and spiritual storms rip through our lives as well.......

It is our decision if while it is still RAINING....if we look up and still praise our SAVIOR!

The first time I heard this song a dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. I felt it was God asking me if was faith was STRONG even in the midst of this news.

This past week.....Jason and I have been greatly challenged. Our new job....has stretched us and our kids have tested us.....I cannot be specific...but I am really thankful this time ....it is amazing how CLOSE I feel to God right now!

Many times this week...I felt as if God should just intervene...get me out of this miserable situation....

But isnt it more amazing that He allowed me to go through it and (although not completely out of it) meets me on the other side telling me AGAIN.....I am with you...I never let go of you...I was carrying you...I was bearing more of it than you realized......when YOU KRISSY didnt have the strength...I (God) was there!- God says to me. I feel that and IT IS THE MOST AMAZING FAITH BUILDING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.

I completely trust that whenever I fall..God will be there to pick me up...I have learned that I do not have to depend on my own talents....strength...because I am insufficient...especially for KINGDOM work.

I have learned that when God sets your path before you...you are going to enter into an unknown territory...a land where you are not in control...and oh how good that is...it is scary at times....but I look at it like this....wouldnt you rather an experience pilot fly you home.....to your family...than someone who just have a few runs at a computer flight simulator program....I sure would!

I also thank God for the reminder that I DO WANT THIS LIFE..this new ministry and job! I was really sick of being complacent...settled....lazy....I want to be challenged and being a part of children's lives everyday....knowing that I may eventually have the opportunity to make eternal impacts.

I could take more naps...I could spend more time with my son (only).....I could make more money....I could be consumed with only my life and my family....I could not take risks....BUT what would I miss out on....that GOD has planned for me......more than I am willing to miss out on! I want to follow Him as long as I can.

Prayer: I pray that you will protect our family as we walk through this storm. I pray that you would be with SGCH as they experience a lot of growing pains. You know my concerns....but Lord I do surrender all to you....because everything I have and am belongs to you......even my family...even my years of schooling and licenses....YOU paid a great price for me...and I will forever honor you with my life!

Praise: Christopher told me the other day "Mom, I have always known Jesus. Even when I was a baby I remember seeing his face."

GOD IS ALL AROUND US!

I feel so blessed to be called a child of God. I thank God for the love that he is lavishing upon us! I hope that I never forget it!

I see small changes in the lives of these girls here. I see very strongly a supernatural spiritual battle for their souls. At some moments I see them falling and others I see them being lifted up by none other than the SAVIOR.
Lord I pray you help me build better relationships with them while also helping guide them how to be great moms and citizens (adults).

Here is a God moment we all had yesterday and today(took it from facebook posting)

YESTERDAY we fed a man on the street....I told the girls "whenever you do something for someone else it always comes back".God is so faithful.THIS afternoon....someone knocks on our door and brings us 10 bags of baby clothes toys diapers for our new mother baby home..I AM IN AWE..WE SERVE AN AMAZING AND GRACIOUS GOD! !Thank you JESUS....for knocking on our door today! WE graciously welcome you in!

I praise you God because you are making yourself known to these moms and babies who never knew you....you are showing up in such real and profound ways....I know they are seeing you...and starting to want more of you! Thank you thank you thank you. Your daughter Krissy

God is showing up in so many other ways too! Personally, He is helping me right now just by being able to have a friend to workout with. It might seem silly....but that time to relax and just put into making my physical body healthier does a lot for my spirit as well. And for Jason and I both we are thankful for getting to know all of the houseparents more as friends!!!!!

YOu are so awesome! You are so good.
Thank you for this new job and all that it is teaching me about faith.....and your love.....I am seeing it more than I ve ever seen it before....your loving kindness....your patience....WOW!

Continue to walk in your light....not taking over any aspect of this......this is your KINGDOM WORK......amazing....we love you!

Please continue to protect Christopher and help us to be great parents to him as well as our eight other children at SGCH.

I thank you for my husband. Ive known him since he was a boy and now he is soon to be 30. I thank you for letting me walk through life with such a beautiful soul...he is my best friend! Thank you Jesus.....he makes me smile everyday! No one ever in my life before made me smile and feel loved like him!
