WELL..........

Ok, so I lied.... I was only back for the day! HAHAHA no really my computer is having some issues and I have been way busy! SO, I have not been on the computer much in the last 7 weeks! Between the computer not allowing me to log on to the Internet and helping get the new church up and going there has been VERY little down time for us! Living Truth Ministries is amazing if I do say so myself! We don't have a permanent building and are really just getting the children's floor ready at the bank downtown but our lives have been full of so many blessings in the last 7 weeks! It has been a lot of work but so rewarding. I have been able to get closer to some people that came from our old church and that thrills me. BUT all of the outreach we are doing and going to do has me on fire! I have always loved that kid of stuff and remember as a young child going to intercity Houston and feed and teaching bible lessons to the homeless and extremely poor families. I LOVED IT!!!! It is so amazing what God will do in you and through you if you allow Him to! I would have never guessed that the Blackwell family would be helping start a church. I feel very honored that God called us to do it! There is not much that is more rewarding than this! We are part of the core of a church that is going to reach many of the lost through blessing them in what ever way we can while teaching them the word of God! I am just so pumped about it that I could go on and on but I won't! It is hard to put into words this experience and all that comes with it! BUT let me try real quick.... rewarding, amazing, a HUGE blessing, my new found passion and much more! Please pray that we at LTM will continue to seek the will of the Lord and teach it to many others! Please pray for our to main outreach projects that we have going right now, one is "2am eternal", that is where we are handing out bottles of water at bars with labels that remind those that are there that Jesus loves them and has a place in Heaven for them and the other is " The Rope". The rope is a family based service project. We are going to be adopting a block or 3 every month and doing any front yard work they need from mowing the yard to painting the house or the house # on the curb! I think that it is going to be amazing for all the kiddos to get to be a part of this! What better to show them the way we are supposed to treat other than that! I am so excited for Caden.... he already loves to help others and work! So, add these to your prayer list, I will keep you all up on how they are going! God is calling LTM to concentrate on the lost right here in Amarillo. I will post the LTM website soon and pictures from LTM and of my family! We had our pics made Sunday and as soon as the girl gets me the disc I will post all the good ones! I hope that you all are having an amazing 2009, it is almost 1/2 over..... can you believe it?? I can't! I pray that God blesses you all and encourage all that live in Amarillo to visit us one Sunday, we would love to have you! AND we are no longer worshiping to an Ipod but have a REAL praise leader! He is not on staff yet but I know that we will be big enough to hire him full time soon! So, thanks David and Lindsey, you both do such amazing job! You are truly a blessing to LTM! Well, I better go find my kids and my nephew! I will blog more as soon as my computer allows me too!
