Our Vacation Bible School started this week at church and our theme is Saddleridge Ranch.... Roundin' up questions and drivin' home answers! So our church and our kids (and adults) are all decked out like cowboys and cowgirls to fellowship and learn a lil' sumthin' about the Lord!
Here are a couple of pictures of my lil' cowpokes.
This is Sunday is Youth Sunday at our church, Greater Love Chapel C.O.G.I.C. I am super excited because for the first time in a looong time, the Sunshine Band and Youth Choir will be joining together as one to sing praises to the Lord. I know we will be in for a toe tapping good time. I love the energy that the youth bring. I love seeing them sing from their heart to their Savior. It's always a beautiful thing. They will be singing Everybody Clap Your Hands by Joshua's Troop. We have been rehearsing here in the Lofton household. I can't have my boys in front of the congregation forgetting the words and clapping off beat and such. Ian has his tambourine ready. He beats that thing sooo loud. Now he'll have an audience. I can't wait to see him get down! For those of you who don't know, our church is not ashamed to praise God. Whenever, wherever, however. Here's a little footage of Joshua's Troop doing their thing. I hope we can be just as enthusiastic as they are! I love it!
Teacher/Coach/Youth Minister.....you name it, he does it. But most of all, Terrance is a God-fearing man, a wonderful father, and husband and he is blessed with the patience of Job which is how he survives being the leader of our circus.
The Mom: Nita
I am first and foremost a follower of Christ, the mother of two handsome sons, and the wife of a man who wears many hats. I love my family, cheeseburgers, being a nurse, and most all caffeinated beverages (not necessarily in that order). This blog is all about my quest to be a better Christian, a better mom and a better wife. Sit back and enjoy...it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
Big Bro: Evan
Our oldest son, Evan, is a charming 10 yr old who is what we like to call a 'gentle spirit' He is definitely a lover.....not a fighter and he's the least strong-willed of our two boys. He is a bit of a people pleaser (like his mommy). He's also a charmer and he is always there to provide comic relief when you need a good laugh!
Lil' Bro: Ian
Our youngest son, Ian, is 7 yrs old and the total opposite from his older brother. He's a serious fella (kind of like his dad) and he makes you work hard for his affection. But once he figures out that you can be trusted.... you've got a friend for life! He is the most strong willed of the two. I call him my middle linebacker!
