Wacky Wednesday June 1st 0 comments

Please join us on June 1st to volunteer at Cobblestone Project Farm in Fayetteville. The Cobblestone Project is a grass-roots community initiative whose mission is to work towards “A Community Without Need.”

The Farm is designed to use agriculture to help the under-resourced in Northwest Arkansas by focusing on six strategic pillars: Hunger Relief, Education, Economic Development, Community, Food Production, and Sustainability.

We will spend the morning volunteering as a family (children of all ages are welcome) weeding, planting, and cultivating and learning about the farm.

Directions: From I-540, take the Wedington Road exit and travel 2 miles west. The Farm is across from The Event Place and Penguin Ed’s BBQ.

We will meet at 9:00am.

For more information, go to www.cobblestoneproject.org or http://thefarm.cobblestoneproject.org/ to watch a GREAT video about The Farm.

We hope to see you there!

Can you believe it is the last week of the school year? We are on the brink of our long summer break! Yippeee! We need to remember Mrs. Palen's idea that learning doesn't end when the school year does. We would like to encourage you to continue to hide God's word in your heart this summer and encourage your kids to as well. You never know when the Lord will use those words in mighty ways. The following are the words of a sweet PCCA mom, Beth Moody. She shares about how the Lord used the words she had hidden in her heart.

"I had to share about our verse memorization. I memorized Hebrews 12:1&2. I was matron of honor recently and had to give a speech. The wedding was for affluent people in Houston and was very formal. I was so worried I would embarrass the bride or her family in front of business friends and family. I had thrown out about 50 speeches. God really laid on my heart this was a chance to share truth and not just some romantic wish. But I kept feeling like I was preaching...and then would throw the speech away. So the day of, I wrote a few things I knew I wanted to say, but didn't know how...and then when it was toast time it came to me. The couple ran marathons. I was able to joke about that and then share my verse I had memorized (let us run with perserverance the race marked out for us...keeping our eyes on Jesus...). I reminded them to lean on Jesus and that he was the only perfect person. Husbands and wives were not. I was able to share truth about marriage and not giving up because it got hard. I can't explain the sense of peace I had as I spoke, and just knew God was using me. I had a minister, a couple of old men, and several friends and family come and tell me what a touching speech I had given and that more should be so bold. But the best part was knowing God had been able to use me because I took the time to hide his word in my heart."

If you have a story about God using the words hidden in your heart (or the heart of your children) we would love to share your story on the blog! Please email it to patriotmoms@gmail.com.
