CPR, A New Shirt and Buddies!
Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by Rachel
Hooray! We proceed one step closer in the adoption process with the completion of our CPR/first aid class. Shew, three intense hours and then a test! We did it! All three of us passed with flying colors while Jacob had a fun time with Mya and Cali (Caroline) Thank you Jesus for friends and help on tests.
This is my new shirt from the thrift store...Monica found it, and for some reason thought it fit me pretty well ;) If only it said "I'm talking about this on my website" that would be a touch more accurate...but I'm wearing it none the less :)
And this is JJ/Jeremiah, aka (Jer-me-mya) in Jacob language! He is super. Thanks Jenn for posting this photo from the other night. Jenn and Jim are a refreshing breeze on a hot night! They have jumped right into our church family and found ways to serve and help rather than to wait around for people to serve and help them. The way the body of Christ is supposed to be! We've lost so many of our generation couples because they haven't felt like "the church met their needs" or the "people weren't friendly"
Praise God for refreshing breezes!
We are doing a pizza party here on Saturday (Lord willing) with them and Scott and Tia.
And I'll leave you with this tonight...a quote by E. M. Bounds:
(it was the intro to a Hudson Taylor biography I'm reading)
"Men are God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men...What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use -- men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men -- men of prayer..."

When is there ever a hot breeze here in Colorado? I heard it only gets to 80 degrees at the max on the hottest day in the summer. ;)
Leave it to Jim to blow holes through my analogy. I was thinking like a person who's just moved from FL :)
I love your shirt :) I told Jim about it when I got home yesterday and I wish I had one.....maybe I'll make myself one with an iron - on. Looking forward to Saturday!
Jenn <><
I just got E M Bounds book on prayer this winter, and am so looking forward to reading it - how true that quote is! Loved the pic of Jacob and his friend Jeremiah! And you are definitely a blogger, so wear your shirt with pride! And CONGRATS on passing the test with flying colors!
Thank you for the updates! Love Birth Grandma
