Filed under: Uncategorized — ckrauter @ 1:44 am

Concord Quest came to and end. It turned out great. I took Hadeleigh took the performances. She loved it. She named pheobe FeFe and she says she is dating Keegan. He waved to her and she about died. The dragon was a big hit. Anyways about 130 came to know Christ. AMAZING! Well I have been blessed greatly by the Bacon family. I have hung out with them a ton. Just yesturday we went swiming Haeleigh is 2 almost 3 and so she is learning how to swim. She is too confident in herself sometimes. She thinks she can just get in the deep end with no one else around her. I went out and bought her a ring. SHe loves it she just swims around in it. We came home from swiming yesturday and went straight into watching Finding Nemo. I love that movie. We were able to teach Hadeleigh about obeying your parents through that movie. Well long story short we ended our nigtht with Bruster’s ice cream. I had never had that before and it was great. Thanks Bacon family for introducing that to me. Oh anyone interested Bath and Body works has some amazing sales going on. One being these things called Walflowers they smell amazing. Get the grapefruit it smells like some kind of candy. It’s great and right now it’s only $5. Well I am working hard and will be all week. Thursday we are going to a baseball game with 3rd thru 5th graders. It should be fun. Oh be in prayer for my friend Luke Arehnholtz he has been given a great opportunity to minister in Poland but is needing to raise $1500 and for someone who is a full time missionary and has a family that is quite alot of money. If you would be interested in making a donation to him please email me @ surferbabe057@yahoo.com . I know him and know that the money would be used for a great cause. Keep him and my family in your prayers and pray for a friend of mine to have a baby this friend can’t. Pray they will be able to without spending any money to get pregnant and would have a healthy pregnancy. Well thank you! God Bless,Christy

Wow time is approaching! June 7, 2008

Okay so VBS or Concord Quest is approaching fast it starts tomorrow. The classrooms look great. I took alot of pictures. I will post them soon. I worked hard yeaturday and then baby sat till midnight. Today I went in early help make chains for the drawbridge and did a few other things with this little girl named Lidia. She is going into the 2nd grade and is adorable. Then Corey took me to downtown Knoxville for the water Angels ministry. It is a great thing they have going on there. I worked with kids that are not poor but are homeless. They have nothing. We fed them played games talked worshiped gave them a lesson did a craft and gave them tthings. It was awesome. Corey spoke on patience. It was over all a fun day. People look at children’s and youth ministry as easy and that they don’t have to work they just have to be able to communicate with them. It is sooo not that. There is sooo much hard work that goes into these things. Well I would love prayer for VBS we have like 2000 kids enrolled right now and much more to go. We want to see several come to know the Lord. Also be in prayer that the water Angels would get enough money for an airconditioner. If you would like to help financially please let me know.We hope to hear from yall soon. God Bless,Christy
