Matt and I plus 4 Girls

On Saturday, I was not feeling good all day long. Still trying to get the cold gone, but I am feeling a little better. Matt worked all day. Our friends, Juan and Martha, called and asked if we wanted to meet them at Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. I was a little hesistant, but then I thought that getting out of the house might be a good idea. Juan and Martha have 4 little girls. Alyssa 12, Rosalie 9, Ariana 7, and Jasmine 3. We had a great dinner overlooking the water. After dinner, we all went and walked on the pier. Jazzy wanted to hold Matt's hand and talk to him the whole time. It was the cutest thing.






We went to Cold Stone Creamery to get ice cream. The girls rode with us and asked if they could spend the night at our house. Matt and I didn't have a problem with it, so they asked their mom's permission.




At the house, the girls wanted to pillow fight Matt and play WebKinz. They all needed baths first. While one was taking a bath, the others were playing WebKinz. After they were all done and Matt and I got all of our clothes together for church the next morning, the pillows came out. All the girls claim that they beat Matt. I don't think thats how it went down, but of course Matt and I let them believe that.

It took about an hour to get the girls to stay in bed and fall asleep. They woke up with smiles on their face and got dressed without any fussing to go to church. We had to be there at 7:45, so we all had to be out of the house by 7:15. They were such a blessing. Matt looked at me at the end of the night and said, "I could get used to 4 girls". Of course with the Lynch genes, I don't think that's possible. I am praying for at least one girl. God knows the Lynch's need another girl in the family. We are kinda out numbered aren't we Cissie?

Summer Has Officially Began



Ok...today is such an exciting day for me. My best friend is moving in with Matt and I for the summer. Her name is Cristina and she is going to school at FSU studying Meteorology. She got a summer internship at a local news station here in Ft. Myers, so she is going to be living with us until August.
Last night, Daniel Lynch came home from Ohio for the summer. I am so glad to have him here. There is never a dull moment when he is around.
My summer has officially began. Look for lots of posts with lots of pictures to be part of our summer adventure!!!

Life is in The House

On June 5 & 6, the Life Church Worship Team, along with some other members from Life Church, went to Legacy Life Church in Orlando, to see Pastor Ryan speak at "8 Days Ablaze". It was such a powerful 2 days.
On Thursday night, the worship was awesome. I am so proud of Life Church's worship. They are annointed and they flow in that. Pastor Ryan spoke about a FIRE OF CHANGE! God was really speaking to me during that message. My true hearts desire is to be obedient to EVERYTHING that God wants me to do. I don't want to live Sunday to Sunday with the "chills" you get when you feel God's presence. I want to feel Him daily and walk closer to Him. During the worship on Thursday, I had a vision of babies. In the picture, God showed me my children and in the vision, I was filled with joy and my life was fulfilled because my children were surrounding me.
Friday night was filled with prophectic words. Matt and I got a word from Dr. Josh Fowler (the pastor at Legacy Life). He said that our season of barrrenness was over. There was more, but it is really hard for me to put it into words. I will just say that it was a word from God that spoke to Matt and I. He also heard that I had a vision of babies and told to people to just wait and see what God does through us. He also said that our children will carry on the family name in a new demension.
After the service on Friday night, it was midnight. We all went back to our hotel and ordered pizza. About 15 of us were in the lobby until 3am talking and cutting up.
It is so good to be in Florida, where I have no FAMILY, but I have so many wonderful friends who surround me. I love all them dearly and they have helped me call Florida my home.
God is so good and so faithful to his WORD!!!
