Stop the World!

Hello fellow readers!

I just recently bought the Matthew West CD, Something To Say. I bought the CD because I needed the song "The Motions" for our Women's service this month, but the whole CD is AWESOME!! As I told Travis....man, sometimes you just gotta sacrifice for the ministry...hehehe!!!

Anyway as I was listening to the CD today while the kids were asleep one song, "Stop The World" really stood out to me and I wanted to share it with you today. May you too remember that sometimes the world needs to stop so you can be refreshed in His presence.

Have a great day!!

Enjoy!!

My First Blog EVER!!!!!!

Hey you guys. It's me Travis this time. Usually Jess is the one doing this blog, so I thought I would give it a shot. After all I am one member of the Greenwood family and so... why not.
Today is Jessica's birthday and I can't help but remind her that as of today she is two years older than me. Really she is only like a year and some months older than me, but for three months outa the year she is two years older than me. And I will not let her forget it. On a great side note it is also my parents thiry year anniversary. Wow! Thirty years! I can't believe my mom let my dad hang around that long. Okay not really! The two of them are crazy about one another. I mean they had five kids so it's not to hard to see what has kept them togather for thirty years. I feel so blessed to have found someone that I truly believe will still love me alot after thirty years. My wife is awesome!!!
I really can't wait to get old togather. Of course, I will always have a good reference to what is coming in old age. After all my wife is two years older than me and so I will just keep my eye on her. This way I can be ready for what is coming down the road. At least two years down the road anyway. I am happy to have a wife that doesn't mind getting older. She is not one of these girls that sits in her room and eats ice cream and cries all day because she is one year closer to death or something and goes through all the lists of things she wanted to have done by now and hasn't done and ect. Instead, she wants to party. I think birthdays are the biggest thing next to Christmas for my wife. I mean don't get my wrong I love me a good birthday, but my wifes family is so passionate about the day they were born. I think thats great...especially on my birthday. Anyway I got my wife a new B-B-Q grill and she loves it so I think it was a good birthday for her.
Okay, so lets recap, my first blog ever, Jessica is old, my parents will be togather forever, I love my wife and we got a new grill. Not bad for a first blog I don't think. And what have we learned today? Getting your wife a grill for her birthday is good for everyone.

While the Mom's away......

Hello to Everyone!!!

This past Friday night we had our monthly Women's Service (I'll come back to that). While I go to the WOD (our Women of Destiny) meetings, Travis stays home with the girls. This gives them some great time together and usually these are the nights that they order Chinese food (not on my list of favorite foods) or he takes the girls out to eat somewhere. On this Friday evening they decided to go to Taco Bueno and get a burrito. So Travis loaded them up and off they went...on the way there he taught them to say: "Oh yeah baby, burrito time baby!" They told me this Saturday morning and I laughed sooooo hard. I couldn't believe it. What is even funnier is just the way they say it and lots of times they will shake their hips when they say it too. It is just too cute!! So while the mom's away...the daddy teaches them things like...Oh yeah baby, burrito time baby and now the girls say it ALL the time!! HAHAHA....makes good memories and gives me a great laugh.

On the other hand, I was at the WOD service and it was AWESOME as it always is!! We have so many ladies who have such great words in them!! This time we talked about JOY and how even in our times of trials and heartaches we need to have JOY!! It was an awesome time in the word and P&W was so powerful. After the time in P&W and time in the word we had TONS of fun playing games!! Our theme this month was a luau....several ladies came dress in their best beach/Hawaiian outfits and they all looked marvelous!!!! We played a "guess the number of seashells in the jar game," a name game and then we had group Hulas. The group Hulas were the highlight of the evening and everyone had such a great time performing them. Lots of fun and laughter which is exactly what the ladies needed...especially after we had just talked about JOY!! All in all it was a wonderful night for all....the ladies at church and even daddy and the kids!! I love nights full of so much JOY!!

Have a great day full of JOY in everything!!

Here's one of the songs from our worship on Friday night!
