Showering Yin & Amber

-

TWINS! Meet Amber and Yin. Blake and I have had the pleasure of getting to know these two (four) over the past nine months through our church. Amber has such a sweet spirit, is a great listener, and will be such a caring mother. Yin is absolutely hilarious and has been a great friend to Blake! They're expecting a little girl and boy sometime in June! They're life is about to change is so many exciting ways!

1 Samuel 1:27 says, "I prayed for this child and the Lord granted me what I asked of Him." Amber and Yin told me that this verse has been the cornerstone for them during this time. It's amazing to see God's faithfulness through their hopes and dreams of starting a family... and He sure gave them the double portion. It was a unique time of fellowship meeting all of their sweet friends! I hope you guys felt loved and celebrated! There's nothing sweeter than the first few days with your new baby. Each moment is precious. We'll be praying for you four as you enter the role of mom and dad, become more like Christ in your sacrificial love for your family, and as you figure out a new normal. God is faithful and has a plan for you!

Amber's husband created the cutest invitations for this shower which gave us a direction for all the colors and decorations. We made some pom poms together, Kelsey made all the adorable banners, food labels, a lot of the food, our friends brought food, I made some caramel corn, cakes, Bible verse prints, and a quiz game... it was so much fun! I can't wait to meet these babies!

Kelsey put together this sweet idea and made the labels for these cute popcorn boxes below...
these two were totally in to the shower!
Blake took such good care of Jude

    Caroline, hello ! I am Marilou Mixon McGinnis, Amber Fung's Mom. I want to thank you and Kelsey for giving Amber and Yin such a wonderful shower. These pictures are wonderful! I am so grateful to God that He sent your group to Pembroke Pines to plant a new church. Amber really loves everything about the church and she speaks fondly of you, too. I hope to get to meet you while I'm there; my Sister and I arrive there on May 11. May God bless your efforts as you live and work for Him. Marilou

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

What to Think

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.   Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand;   do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.   And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.   What you have learned and  received and heard and seen  in me—practice these things, and  the God of peace will be with you. ( Philippians 4:4-9, ESV) If there's one thing I find myself dwelling on lately, it's when will I have a normal day? There's something about predictability that is comforting. Every day after lunch I have to have some coffee... and

Fall Afresh On Me

Fall Decor At Our Tennessee Home I apologize in advance for this crazy and loaded blog post. I tried blogging about one topic and then it just exploded. So, enjoy! Fall Afresh? What does that mean? It happens to be the lyric of one of my favorite songs lately.  If you haven't heard of Bethel Music or Jeremy Riddle, here's a song that just might bless you. I love the lyrics! "Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me, come wake me from my sleep. Burn through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow." That is my prayer!! I grew up singing hymns mostly so I knew this song came from this hymn , just in case you were unaware!   I've been thinking a lot about seasons, particularly fall since it's my first fall away from home. This song just so happens to have the word fall in it so I just had to share it with you!  I'm so thankful for the meaningful relationships we had in Tennessee. One special lady even surprised me just yesterday by
