What's going on in my world these days...

My goal for the mission trip wasn't only met, but exceeded by $600!!!!! HE is faithful. Always.

I'm singing at a Coffee House...with a band. That makes me giggle a little. I'm a guest female lead for Cafe Expressions on June 16, 8-10 p.m. at Land of a Thousand Hills in Roswell. Come out a support little ole, terrified me:)

I also met me weight loss goal a couple months back...that's good. Yay me.

That's about it:)

On a Mission...

Thank you so much for your donations and prayers! Our group is becoming closer and closer and our curriculum is almost set and ready to go! Our group is split into therapists and teachers. I am in the teacher group but have also become the Worship gal:) So pray for me as I select songs, activities and write a script for each day of worship for both orphanages our team will be working at.

Another specific prayer request in for my faith that God will provide the money needed. I am so close! I only have $1055 to go!!!! and until June 3 to raise it.

If you would like to donate, let me know:) If you would like to be on my prayer update list, let me know that as well and I can keep you posted! I have attached a picture of our team:)


For those who are out of the loop...I will be going to a Special Needs Orphange in South East Asia in July with these ladies!

Quote from Lillian

"You're a pretty lady. Daddy always thinks that"-Lillian

:)

Lesson #7: Mush Warning

Ryan loves me. Crystal. Crystal Casey.

I'm hard on myself. I make mistakes and carry them with me. I even nicknamed myself "the messerupper". I felt I could do nothing right. The anxiety, fear, of failing was too much. How could Ryan love that? He's not a messerupper. He seems to get more things "right" than I do. It was overwhelming for me.

That's when God stepped in with Lesson #7.

I'm not a messerupper. I'm human. I make mistakes. I trip. I can't keep my car clean to save my life. I forget things. Lose things. Stuff mail in weird places. Burn bread.

I'm Crystal Casey. Wife. Mom. Daughter. Friend. And most importantly, a child of God who was created just as God saw fit.

He planned for me to marry Ryan Casey and become the mother of Hannah and Lillian Casey as a part of His plan.

I can't be perfect. It's hard for me not to give up or to just not try if I can't be perfect at something, but I'm not Jesus. I can't be perfect. No one can. My husband know that and I think I might know that too:)

Ryan loves me. Crystal. Crystal Casey.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

I just received word over the last 24 hours of the death of a friend's mother and the death of a friend's child. My heart is heavy.

But full...




added April 19: Lillian just walked in and saw this. She asked "why am I on your Facebook???"
How does she know Facebook???? LOL!!!!
