After working for 7 years in the mental health counseling profession as a child and adolescent counselor, my Tanya turned in her 2 week notice and came home recently. We have a 2 year old named Ethan and she wanted to spend more time with him (and me, of course). Well, let me tell you, she had less than a week of tranquility before Ethan has made life quite difficult. After two x-rays of his ankle, legs, and pelvic region, the doctors can find nothing broken. Yet, he has been a different child crying incessantly off and on all day. It has been a challenge, especially on Tanya because she has been there for him more than me. She's a great mom!

It's been a great week at Ridgeview Church. Our children' s ministry kicked off a neat thing called "Champions for Christ (C4C). It went really well. I am also so proud of our church. Saturday we had our first single mom's oil change and car wash. Over 40 adults participated and 15 of our students. Awesome! We were able to service around 12 cars. It's great to see our church fulfill our purpose of "being a bridge of God's love to all people so they may experience His purpose for their lives."
