Posted on by

Hi!!  We are thrilled how our trip went to Richmond, VA for the HEAV Homeschool Convention!  It was a blessing to be encouraged by other fellow home-schoolers and what was REALLY neat about it, was that the Lord allowed us to meet 2 celebrities that we look up to – Alex Kendrick (moive maker of Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous, & War Room) and Shaun Alexander (Christian NFL~past~ football player for the Seahawks and the Redskins) – SEE PICTURES BELOW!!

It was an inspiring week and these two men’s “charges” to us were motivating!  We also enjoyed singing as a family in the lobby of the Convention Center for 2 hours.  My (Jill’s) voice was hoarse when we were done…smile.

We were also blessed to stay in Southside Baptist Church’s Prophets Chambers during our visit and then sing for them all day on Sunday.  The fellowship was sweet and we felt “charged up” to come home and continue serving Jesus!!!

Lastly, we are coming to PA and Ohio!  If you live in those areas, we would LOVE to meet you and have you come to one of those services that we will be singing at!  Below is our itinerary for the next 2 weeks……..

One very educational thing we did while there, was take the entire family on a historical, trolley ride through-out Richmond, VA. It was very informative of the history of this old city!!

We met Mr. & Mrs. Boyer (Authors of "Are They All Yours?" among many other books)- they are parents to 14 children!! They have been home schooling for over 30 years. Next year will be their last year to home school. It was a blessing to talk with them.

It was neat for David (a Redskins fan) to meet a former Redskins NFL player - Shaun Alexandar.

The boys and David enjoyed listening to Shaun Alexander speak to men.

What was SO neat, was that I (and the girls) did not get to meet Mr. Alexander. However, the Lord was extra good to us and the next day when we were in the foyer of the Marriott eating lunch, almost the entire Alexander came strolling by with their children. They are such a sweet family and the wife and I hit it right off! Shaun Alexander has 8 children!

Shaun recognized David from meeting him the day before and we all started talking and fellowshipping. They are such a sweet family and the wife and I hit it right off!

Brother Alex Kendrick did not have a time for book-signing, or meet & greet.....unless you had paid for a special dinner with him - which we could not afford....smile. So, again - God was SOOO Good to us and allowed us to have a short window of opportunity as he was coming from the Marriott into the Convention Center into the "Ball Room". We were hanging out by the entrance to the Ball Room and we rushed up to Bro. Kendrick. He was SO kind and gracious towards our family.

Brother Alex Kendrick was such a KIND, friendly, humble man.  He shook every hand of our family and was the epitome of gracious.  It was just SUCH an honor to meet him.  His oldest son was with him (17 yrs. old) and he was so polite and kind also.

His message that he spoke that evening, left me feeling in AWE at what God can accomplish in people's lives when they surrender to Him in every area of their lives. It helped to revive my heart to press on towards doing right - UNTIL THE STARS FALL!!

God has been so good to us with all the people we have had the honor of meeting in our travels.  Our ultimate goal in life, is to make the greatest difference for Christ that we can in our ministry.  We came home for a few days, David & I got caught up on some much needed things (including work in the print shop) and now we head out to PA and Ohio!  May we continue to honor Christ in all we do and say…………….for IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL, WHEN WE SEE JESUS!

God bless you all and have a blessed night!
