March For Babies

As a nurse in Labor & Delivery, I see sick babies, and babies born too early on a constant basis. This breaks my heart. Babies born too early have to stay in a NICU and usually can't spend much time with their mom & dad.  :-(

I'm very excited to be a part of March for Babies this year. Please help me reach my goal by making a donation to my walk. It's easy and secure - just click the link below to make your donation.

Your gift will fund March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

Please support this important work. You can make a donation with your credit card or debit card online by clicking the link below.

Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!  God bless!

Disappointed

Apparently the Upward program won't let boys and girls play on football teams together, because it can cause self esteem issues if the girls run faster than the boys. I guess they didn't think about the self esteem of little girls who are told they can't play because of that reason.

My daughter is so upset that there isn't enough girls to play football. She was really looking forward to playing football. I guess she will have to be a cheerleader instead. I guess Upward isn't that different from regular football other than they use flags and have devotionals.

Regardless, I hope kids are saved, and even some moms and dads too. Have a great day!

Moving Upward

I am really excited about what God is going to do through Upward Football & Cheerleading at our church. It is a great outreach opportunity. I got the phone call last night that I am a cheerleading coach for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade girls. That's exciting! I had to ask off for Saturday at work so that I could attend the meeting and meet the girls I'll be coaching.

My oldest son is going to be a referree for football, my husband was going to try to help out, but he isn't big on sports so he doesn't know enough to be a coach or referee. He wants to help out in any way he can though. I'm sure with nearly 100 kids, there will be room for helpers :) I just pray that through the Upward program that God will be glorified and that others will see Christ in us and kids will be saved.
