Date night

One of our former newlywed ladies has shared a good idea for a date night during the summer. See the below note from Kitty Hurdle. Thanks Kitty.

Hey there!
I wanted to let you know, the church plant we have been a part of—Columbia Crossroads Downtown—is sponsoring “Movies in the Park” every Friday night at Finlay Park.
The activities begin at 8, movie starts at sunset. There will be free popcorn and free drinks.
I think it will be a really fun date night or family outing!

Here are the movies if you are interested:
June 12-Bedtime Stories (PG)
June 19-Tale of Despereaux (G)
June 26-Hotel for Dogs (PG)
July 3-High School Musical 3 (G)
July 10-Horton Hears a Who! (G)
July 17-Confessions of a Shopaholic (PG)
July 24-Paul Blart: Mall Cop (PG)
July 31-Monsters VS Aliens (PG)
Aug 14-Race to Witch Mountain (PG)

Pray that your summer is full of rest and refreshment in the Lord!

Home Organization

Our ladies Bible study recently had a guest teacher, Luanne Ozmint, to come and teach us on the subject of home organization. Luanne taught and encouraged all us with Titus 2:3.

"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be workers of the home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no none will malign the word of God."

Also, we were reminded of what God said in Genesis 2:18.

"The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

Our role as a wife is to be a helper for our husbands and to be workers in our home. Thank you Luanne for the encouragement and the reminders of how we can honor our Lord by serving our husbands and by keeping an organized home.

A notebook to use for planning the daily schedule.

Amy won a file to keep those papers that need a home. They do not belong on the counter or nightstand. :)

Update on Matt Davis

(PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY.)

Dear Friends and Family,

It has been a little while since our last update, so we wanted to check in with everyone. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. We are very grateful, and we know that God is working! Matt went back to the Retinal Specialist two weeks ago. The doctor said that there hasn't been much change in his eyes. The hemorrhages are still there, although the blood flow is better. The doctor thinks that his body will absorb the hemorrhages once all of his blood levels return to normal. Matt will go back for another follow-up appointment in two months. His vision is about the same. It really doesn't affect his everyday life at all, but we are still continuing to pray for complete healing. He had a check-up with the Oncologist three weeks ago, and this was the first time that almost all of his bloodwork was within normal range!! His platelets are a little low, but the doctor is going to monitor that. She didn't seem concerned. She was glad to see that his white cells, red cells, and hemoglobin were all within normal range. Matt is doing great! His energy level is keeping me on my toes. :) He is playing basketball a couple of mornings a week, as well as ultimate frisbee on Sunday afternoons. We continue to pray for healing every day and ask God to use us to touch others. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!!!

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4

Love,

Matt and Julie
