On The Horizon

We have some new members in our music minsitry. Avalon, Micah and Zachary sing with every once in a while. In these pictures we're singing at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. That's my Dad playing bass on the right.

We've started homeschooling on September 1st. Everday I sit down to teach, I am grateful for the opportunity to teach my kids.

We enjoyed leading worship for Calvary Costa Mesa's Married Couples retreat. It was a blessing to connect with long time friends and make new ones. It took place at the Calvary Conference Center in Twin Peaks which is where Michael and I met eachother and fell in love while we were attending Calvary Chapel Bible College.

We feel strongly that God would have us to continue together in the worship minsitry. We were challenged at the retreat to stay the course that God has set before us. We were challenged to continue studying the Bible together and praying together.

We've been married almost 15 years now and have a stronger marriage than when we started, not because of anything we have done in and of ourselves, but because we have made a commitment daily to come before the Lord together and ask Him to make us more like Himself and to strengthen our marriage like only He can do. We, like all couples, have our squabbles and disagreements, but we are both humbled again when we come before our Holy God. Doing this daily makes it so we keep short accounts with eachother. There is nothing like surrender to God to knit a marriage together.

We will be going to South Africa to lead worship at a Calvary Chapel missions and pastors conference in Capetown October 12-17. Please be praying that God will do a mighty work there through us.

Like all overseas mission trips we are responsible for our own expenses. We would be honored and blessed if you might consider donating a one-time gift for our trip. http://www.togetherministries.com/inside/sponsorship.htm

In His Grip,
Michael, Golden, Avalon, Micah, Zachary and Jayden
