We have finished VBS this week and what a awesome week it was. It was amazing to see the work of Christ in all of the youth as they guided the younger kids through the week. I was brought to tears several times as I saw Christ in each of my boys.
John really bonded with his crew leader and I caught them in prayer several times. I can not even explain the feelings that I had to witness that. It was more powerful then words can say.
Here is a video from the church that shows some of what went on this week.
Matthew was caught just being happy and enjoying himself as Christ worked with in him. I am so proud of the ways he was moved this week. Christ has a plan for Matthew and I can not wait to see what it is.
Jacob was having a good time. Christ worked with him through song and dance. Jacob had a great time and has his Bible Buddies he won't put down. I can not get the video of Jacob dancing to post, but I haven't given up and will continue to try.
As a mother I was truly moved to tears several times as I watched not only my boys but some of the others there.
I am one lucky mom.

Time Goes By
Wow!!! I can not believe it has been a month since I was last here. So much has happened in the last month. The Ferrell's have been busy, busy. But then again I wouldn't have it any other way.
Sports has sadly come to an end. I was so sad for baseball to be over. Matthew's team came in 2nd place in the American League. That was pretty amazing considering where they came from. It was a rough start. I am now on the Board of Directors for League City Little League. I know what you are saying "Kalyn, what are you thinking?" I guess I wasn't but I am excited anyway. I love being at the ball park. Which is a good thing seeing how all three boys are playing in the fall.
Enough about baseball. We now have a Webelos, Bear and Tiger in cubscouts. Jacob is so excited to finally be able to be apart of scouts and not just drug around. We all went to Twilight camp last week in Santa Fe. Clifton and I both volunteered and the boys all were campers. John completed 2 of the required pins for his Webelos Super Achiever. I think he is excited about this year. As far as Matthew goes, well he is a Bear which means he can earn his Whittling Chip and be able to get a pocket knife. So last weekend we went to buy his knife and he is a whittling fool. I can not even begin to tell you how much soap is in the backyard. He is one happy boy.
I have to brag on Matthew just one more time. He earned straight A's for the year. I am really proud of him. He is hoping to have Mrs. Jeffcoat again next year. She is going to third grade so we are keeping our fingers crossed.
John is going to be in 4th grade already. I am not ready for this. I can not believe how fast it has gone. I am wishing we can slow down time just a bit. My baby will be in 1st grade. I am struggling the most with that one. My Jacob is such a love and I hate that I have no more babies at my house. But I also am enjoying every stage.
We have had VBS this week. I wonder what next week will bring.
