Our girls arrived to California safely!

Waiting for our Girls!

Corrie missed her plane to California because her battery was dead this morning. John got online and found the location of the hood release lever to the new Mini Cooper Sean just bought. Corrie then jumps her car. She is an amazing Special Forces wife. What do Papa and LaLa do while we are waiting? Why not trim the booganvillas!
The wading pool and baby lawn chairs are ready. The magnetic "fishing poles" are waiting. Papa and LaLa are ready. Sean deployed on Wednesday. Corrie and the girls will be staying in California until I leave for the arrival of Heather's baby, due in mid June. Exciting times at the Rantals. Stay tuned. :)

Onilla speaks to the Women at Redeemer

Onilla came for six glorious days. She loved the sunshine and our ladies loved her.

She spoke outside in a beautiful home and garden of a lady in our church. She spoke on Meeting Christ in the Garden. Resting in his Authority.
I was the MC and had fun with my flower hat. We had 30 ladies who came and feasted on God's Word.
Our committee was almost a third of us. Each lady had an important part and we all felt the Lord used it to strengthen and encourage our women. Thank you Onilla, for loving my new ladies and preparing such a powerful message.

New Young family at our church

We are thilled to have this new couple in our church. Grant is in the Air Force and Kelly has joined my Moms and Tots with Kendall. They have just moved to the area.

Ministering at Planned Parenthood

One of the ladies in our church goes every Thursday to Planned Parenthood to pass out liturature to mothers going in for abortions. This Thursday I went with her. We we able to make contact with about 3 mothers. One man came up to us and thanked us for doing this. We don't know the results but God does. This is Nadine who took me to Planned Parenthood. She actually spent time in jail 17 years ago for protesting. She is an amazing lady and a very good friend. John and I are so blessed to have her husband and her in our church. This picture was taken at our women's retreat.
