Totally Forgot to Post about SPRING BREAK!
This was a very special Spring Break for our family. It has been a year since Scott was diagnosed with colon cancer. He has been on the mend for a few months now, and we are all starting to breathe a little easier. Our family Spring Break Trip was to do a local mission trip, Serving U, with our Sunday School class. We stayed at First Woodway church and spent our days working in under served churches in the Waco area. Our group held cookouts for community churches and apartment complexes in an effort to reach out to folks, helped a church pack up for their soon move to a new building, painted, tore down walls, cleaned, cut down trees and landscaped, visited shut-ins and made many new friends. It was an AWESOME trip and we can not wait to participate next year.
The best part of the trip was watching Scott work. He loves to work and serve others. One of our first tasks was to cut down trees and help a downtown church with some landscaping. Scott jumped right in with his chainsaw!

We also served first Woodway by taking cookies and cards to shut-ins and working around the church.

After Serving U, Grace stayed at the church for a few more days with the Acteens program. They spent their time working for the community too. Sewing bags and teddy bears for the Light in the Gap Ministry, serving meals and working for Salvation Army, organzied the Salvation Army Store, helped with Meals on Wheels, and had a special evenging with Friends for Life.
