Glory Be To God

I realize I have not been up here in quite a while to update the awesome things going on for Andrew and I.
As many of you are aware we started a "Community Supported Agriculture" business as shared in previous posts. We have exceeded our goal this year-- and give all the praise to Him! Andrew set a goal of 50 clients this year, being our first year doing this, and we are currently around 85! What a blessing this has been to us, and our excited clients! So, as the growing season approches we begin the [real deal] on May 4th. Our 1st delivery day! We will be covering Rocky Mount, Wilson, Nashville and good ole Red Oak. Therefore, If you see us at one of our "drop-off locations" stop in and speak. We'd love to hear from you.

As the school semester is about to come to an end for us both I am glad to announce that Andrew will be graduating from NC STATE on May 15, 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculature Business. I am so proud of Andrew for all of the hard work he does IN & OUT of school. He has truly been a blessing in my life, and others as well. We will be throwing a graduation party at my house in Red Oak to celebrate all of his hard work.
As part of his graduation gift from my parents we will be going to Key West, FL in June to enjoy a piece of Heaven down further south.

Aside from our busy day to day lifestyle we :DO: have time to play!
Andrew and his daddy got us a little 17 ft boat to play around with and fish in the reservoir and in the marshes at the beach! Man have we sure enjoyed that small boat! There has not been a weekend yet that we have not gone out on the boat! Nothing like him fishing and me laying on the front catching rays :)

Hope each of you continue to do well.
With this having cought you guys up for a little while I will post a few pictures:

Key West, FL

Talk about excited! Andrew and I will be flying to the Florida Key's for a week with my parents in June! We cannot hardly wait! We both are so excited! Andrew graduates from STATE in May and this is going to be one of his treats* Nothing like going deep sea fishing in the gulf! My family in Florida will also be down there next to the us in a time share, and with a off shore boat for plenty of fishing! Lord, Thank you. We are so blessed. Without you this would not be made possible. Thank you.

Chris Young

IM obsessed with Chris Young* I have all of his music on my Ipod touch! He is amazing and so talented! This song is Andrew and I's prayer everyday--

The BIG DAWG in country: 98.5.

Yep, thats right! Be listening out on 98.5 THE BIG DAWG for an ADVERTISEMENT of our CSA program. As of right now, I am typing up a script that you will all be hearing if you tune into 98.5 The BIG DAWG.

Andrew and I look forward to hearing from you or someone you know who may be intresed* Thanks again for the continued support!

Nothing like freshly grown produce

As stated in a previous post Andrew and I are trying to do the "business thing.." To our surprise things are going GREAT! Greater than planned! Glory be to God- For anyone who is intrested in fresh local produce we have started what is "Community Supported Agriculture."

What Is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
CSA is a contractual agreement between a farmer and a consumer. Each week during the growing season, every consumer recieves a CSA box filled with fresh, locally grown produce. Consumers known as shareholders purchase a share prior to the growing season. Each share will contain several different products every week throughout that month. Specific quantities or products will vary with weather conditions. Each shareholder establishes a close connection to the production of their food.



The produce we will be offering is: Strawberries, Cabbage, Garden Peas, Lettuce, Spring Onions, Broccoli, Okra, String Beans, New Potatoes, Corn, Cucumbers, Squash, Cantaloupe, Cabbage, Blackberries, Peas & Butterbeans (shelled), Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Watermelon, and Sweet Potatoes.. Did I miss anything?

As mentioned earlier, Andrew and I both have brochures (that I designed) if you or someone you know is intrested :) Im assuming if you are up here you must know one of us! Andrew and I want to personally thank each of you who have already purchaced a CSA share this growing season- without you we could not have made it where we are now. It has been exciting and has opened new doors for the both of us.

He is Good, All the Time- All the Time, He is Good.






Andrew and I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. We sure did. The Lord has opened up new doors for the both of us to start a new series Sunday school class for couples that we are really enjoying-- Communication is the Key (how to speak in a Christ like way to your spouse and those around you). This week I am posting song lyrics and a video to Lee Ann Womack's new single: There is a God.
This song has really captured my heart lately and I hope that you will also get something out of it.
I have grown up as an ole' country girl, riding horses and looking out of my own back yard at hundred year old trees on the creek bank behind our house so this song really hits home. Enjoy!


Try and put your arms around
the 100 year old tree
Climb up on a horse
and let it run full speed
Take a look down at the world from 30,000 feet
on your next flight

Watch a flock of birds
against the morning sun
Close your eyes and listen
to the river run
Catch a firefly in your hand
or a raindrop on your tongue
That's right

Chorus:
There is a God
There is a God
There is a God
How much proof do you need?

Plant a seed and see
what comes out of the ground
Find the heartbeat on your baby's ultrasound
In a few years hear it laughing,
and don't it sound like a song?

Stop and think about
what you don't understand
Things like life and love
and how the world began
Hear the doctor say he can't explain it,
but the cancer is gone



Chorus:
There is a God
There is a God
There is a God
How much proof do you need?

Science says it's all just circumstance
Like this whole worlds just an accident
But if you want to shoot that theory down,
Look around

Just look around

There is a God
There is a God
There is a God,
How much proof do you need?

















I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord

Chorus:
And we say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
And his joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

"He's got the whole world in His hands.."

"He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands-- He's got the tiny'winy babyys in his hands!"
We just got wonderful news that there is going to be ANOTHER BABY in the family!
Colin 6yrs Madylin Grace 9 mo and a NEW BORN on the way! Andrew and I are going to have our hands full babysitting- And he is loving every minute! He is so good with children, Lord thank you.

Mommy, Colin, Daddy, Maddie and Another one soon!




Andrew and I have been staying :very: busy here latley. We are starting a "Community Supported Agriculture" business/marketing. Nothing like the excitement of designing a brochure and getting this show on the road-- Although we are doing very well with this! A new mile stone in life together. Beside all of this we still have time for great friends and most of all each other*

Lord, WE Thank You for our many blessings, for we are nothing without you.
1 Corinthians 13:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
