Common Ground Montgomery

This segment aired on WSFA Montgomery a few weeks ago. Check out the link below to see first hand how Bryan Kelly and Common Ground are seeking to rebuild one of the poorest communities in west Montgomery, by showing the love of Christ to the children and families of those in that area; an area Bryan moved his family to in order to be as effective as possible at winning them for Christ.

Orlando Roadtrip





Last week, Roy and I made a trip to Orlando to take a tour of Reformed Theological Seminary and to celebrate my birthday (which is today!) at Universal Islands of Adventure. We were also able to watch my dad's softball team play for the State Championship in Plant City, FL. The Port St. Joe Lady Sharks are the 2009 State Runner-Up. I am SO proud of my dad for such a tremendous accomplishment! The past few weeks have been overwhelming for us as we have been praying through some options since, as many of you know, we will no longer be working with Campus Outreach. We really and truly believe that the Lord is leading us in another direction and we are trusting in him completely as He leads and guides our every step. This trip to Orlando was a "Mini Vacation" for us and a time to explore the potential option of Roy attending seminary. We had a WONDERFUL time and have fell in love with the Oviedo/Orlando area. We were able to stay with my mom's friend from college who works for Disney. She was is always so welcoming! Again, nothing is set in stone, but we are seeking the Lord and trusting the Spirit's leading. It is a very exciting time for us and stressful as I'm sure you could imagine. We don't know what the Lord has in store for us, but we long to be faithful. We know the Lord places trials in our path to bring us closer to Him and above all that is what we desire. Roy and I long to know Jesus and to share the love of Jesus with others. Please continue to pray for us as our plans change and as we prepare for the next step! Here are a few pictures of our trip to Orlando. Enjoy! We are so thankful for all of you!

Strawberry Picking





Roy and I stopped at a strawberry patch just north of Dothan on Sunday. For as long as I have been associated with Troy, I have seen people every now and then picking strawberries. I have always wanted to stop and yesterday, WE DID! We had a huge bucket and the man told us to,” Pick as many and we could fit in the bucket.” We picked at least 100 yummy strawberries. Roy decided he would eat the strawberries while we were still picking, which caused an allergic reaction. When we got home his eyes were red and his face was swollen. Bless his heart! He is all better now and we have both been enjoying DELICIOUS strawberries.
