Busy.... again?

Yep, I'm busy as a bee once more! I'm helping out at Harvest Church VBS this week, and today I got a dentist cleaning. I might go bowling with a friend this week! (That would be 2nd time in my life!) I might go and swim or something with Darcy. I might hang out with another friend. PLUS I'm doing whatever mom has for me and being a mother's helper Friday.... MAN my life won't stop. And the funny thing is I feel like I'm not active! *Maybe its the fact I'm inside reading or on the Web...... Hmmm* So Another goal to a long goal list! *To get active*

Also I just got Zoo Tycoon 2: Zookeeper Collection. It has Zoo Tycoon 2 then also Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species and Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure. I love it a load more then Zoo Tycoon. Its much better. Better Graphics's, More animals, you can become a Zookeeper, you can get up close to the animals *and not have them eat you alive!* Take pictures of them, its so fun!

I'm needed by Mom.... again!

Luv Ya'll

BAND UPDATES

Trailer Found!

Dear Friends,
Many words would go into this letter, but we want to Thank Jesus for helping us recover our "stuff." You have been so faithful to pray, and financially support us during the past 6 days as we have walked through a scary and uncertain situation with the theft of our trailer and gear. We are so excited to report that at 1am on Tuesday morning, we received a call that our trailer and gear had been found by the Montgomery Police Department. While this investigation is ongoing, we want to respect the job that the local police are currently doing to find the people responsible for this crime, we did want to pass along the news to you. As of the writing of this, we have personally not seen the trailer yet (other than on the news - Thanks to our AMAZING friends at WSFA NBC Montgomery), nor any of our gear. We are told that the police feel about 90% of the stuff is still inside the trailer.

We do know, and have confirmed that it was the story that aired on WSFA that broke the case. We are thankful to whoever made that call into the tip line. Thank you for doing the brave thing. We hope we can repay you one day.

To the Montgomery Police Department and Sheriffs office, thank you for working so hard for the past 6 days to find our gear. We appreciate you not just treating this as another stolen property case, but going above and beyond.

To the folks at WSFA TV, thanks for taking a few minutes over the past few days to share our story with your viewers. You made a huge difference.

And finally, to the many friends and fans who have been praying and sending in your support. We are so grateful to you. We will be using the funds to replace any gear that was stolen, and we will be back on tour starting Sunday!

Many verses in scripture talk about us relying on God for our needs. Our story is a life story of asking Him to meet us where we are. And this case is no different. Please don't view the TV coverage, national radio coverage, and web blogs to be about us. It's all about our Great God who loves and cares for us. This is just another one of His amazing life moments. To that we are humbled.

Rush of Fools

My Dad got this E-mail and I had to post it.

We need your prayers! Early this morning, Rush Of Fools' trailer was stolen out of our driveway in Alabama. The band has lost everything they own including all merchandise, guitars, cases, amps....anything you would see them play with at a show is gone. Insurance will cover some of the costs, but due to recent purchases and additions to the gear, the value lost is over $60,000. This, as you know, is a major loss for a young band. We know that God has plans in the midst of this. While we look for answers, please pray that our trailer and gear will be found quickly and unharmed. We are all off on vacation this week, and Wes gets married on Saturday. Not exactly the kind of stress you need before your wedding.

Our next set of concerts begin on July 14th, and our management company is working now to help find solutions so we can continue to play concerts and share our music with hurting people who need to hear it.

Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." This verse is where we all live and breathe. We trust God in all things, even when we don't have the answers to why someone would do this. It's our prayer that whoever took the gear and trailer would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through our stuff. Yes, literally, our “stuff” would be the catalyst to their introduction to Christ.

So, we need your immediate help in two ways. First, if you can pray, please stop right now and ask God to intervene and find our trailer. Second, if you are able to help financially, we would love that support. You can mail checks to Rush Of Fools, Inc at the address below. All money received will go towards being able to replace our gear.

You not only are the best fans in the world, but you are our friends too.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for us, our band, and our families.

Newly Done

So, you MUST be wondering, how my first day as Mother's Helper go?

Well, it went fine. I got there around.. 12:30 and Trent and Kara were eating lunch! When they got do with that we got them in the bathing suits and all day long I got this out of Trent, "Where Queen?" = 'Where's McQueen (Cars Movie) Very cute I know. So we went to the pool and I watched them and swam and gave piggyback's in the water and caught them as the jumped to me and such! (They can't swim!) And such fun. Then Trent got tired and Kara got all hyper! So we left and had ice pops. Then I got the changed then we left to pick up their Dad from work and my mom picked me up at Baby's 'R' Us.

Gee I just found out I had this is in my Draft, oppss! Okay well... here read it anyway!

One thing Done, 500 to go

So Drama Camp is over (Boo-Hoo) Now I'm a Gracer all the way without seeing Crosswayers again! *sigh* But I'm ready for that sleep, but I'm still busy as the bee's! I'm now serving at a VBS for the week, and one of the day I'll get to do my first Mother's Helper! YAY! So happy!
*hehe* I haven't posted in like... forever... Need news...

Drama

YAY, first day of Drama Camp, its fun to be helping this year, but the class is small... O.0 But yea, its all fun! Only one other helper! Darcy, so strange, one other helper. That makes two helpers!

Yes! Meerkat Manor is coming on tonight at 9:00 on Animal Planet! You should ALL watch it! ;) *hehehe*

Also, just maybe, I might be able to do the next class after the one I'm helping in! Some spots are open still (GASP) so, if Dad lets me, I could be in it! (OH PLEASE DAD! PLEASE!)

Luv Ya'll

P.s. I'm taking pictures of the Drama from the full two weeks, every day. I should have a VERY LONG slideshow if I do I'll send it to anyone who wants it after I'm done!

Funnel Cake

Mmmmmm! Its the one treat EVERYONE loves! (I should know) Well... all that can eat it, that is... okay never mind! All love it! Hehe, I got a story about my yummy Funnel Cake!

Well, I was at the Kannapolis Intimidators, we had free tickets from the Gem Theater. So we went there, and got free Gem Theater tickets (hahaha) Anyways I said 'Look for a large crowd waving at us.' As a joke, because other's from Grace had gone and gotten free tickets with us. Lol, I was right! I saw a whole row of the concrete 'seats' of Grace Friends. So Mom and Dad talked to parents while I, my friends. When they did the Pizza Hut Giveaway, we being a large group, made a LOAD of noise! Mrs. Cook got the pizza, and gave most to the kids. Then they did like a ice cream giveaway, yet again, one of our group got it! Austin and Leah got to do a game on the field (they said the last names wrong!) and all that. So that was fun! Austin, Leah, Spenser, his sister and I went down to the Grasshoppers Pitchers place to see if they would give out any more balls. They had none =( (Or so the say! *shifty eyes*) So when we left, as they were doing the T-shirt giveaway thing I stopped at the Funnel Cake place. I bought one, and took it with me. When I got to where my seat was... I was swamped! Everyone was like 'YOU GOT FUNNEL CAKE!' So... I gave a good bit away... It was funny or some of them. Like Trey, he said that I could never finish that whole thing and' (jokingly yet hinting) 'he should help me out.' So I laughed then ripped of another bit of my Cake and said 'I think your right.' (jokingly) And he said 'I think I'm right too!' to grabbed the Cake and ran off... somewhere... But that was a fun night. Friends, Baseball, foul balls (No I didn't get one :( , and Funnel Cake. I never get Funnel Cake EVER! Dylan can't have it, so I don't get to enjoy it that much. So I was happy!

So right now I'm just counting down the day's for Drama Camp to start up! That will be great fun, be back in my old church, see my old friends and do old things! ;) I'm just kidding! I can't wait to see everyone and to help out! I need the day's to go by faster!!! Oh well =(

I need the 9th to come fast! The next season of Meerkat Manor comes on! Oh JOY! I wonder what happened to my FAVE Meerkat, Zaphod, (you say it Z-AY-Fod, GET IT RIGHT! Thats to be my Puppy's name... when I get him!) he's a loner... *sniff* Poor him. No one to mate with now that Flowers dead. I'll give you a whole post of Meerkat things and all... on the 9th! OH BOY! *hehehe* }:)

Luv ya'll
