Happy Birthday Matthew

Today is my sweet Matthew's birthday!!!
He says he loves me more than ice creme
and daddy more than chocolate. I will take
it!!

Matthew David has the sweetest heart.
It is an honor and a pleasure to raise such
him.

Here are some photo's detailing his life
that haven't been posted.










Matthew loves his brother to pieces.
They are two peas in a pod.
Best Friends ~ Best Brothers.

















This is Matthew with his "side-eye" look.



















Matthew is mercy motivated and has
the natural gifting of being an
encourager.


Here he is encouraging friends on his
brothers team.

We encourage and cultivate Matthew's
gifts. I encourage you to find out your
children's gifts and cultivate them.




Matthew loves the snow.
















Matthew has grown a lot since this picture
but nevertheless it was in the last two years and
he is STILL a golf lover.
















Matthew loves to dress up like daddy
any day of the week.



















Matching Toy Story outfits again.


















Buzz and Woody.



















This summer, the AC went out so we
had to stay in a hotel for 3 days. This
is Matt hanging out the laptop they
share watching Veggie Tales on Netflix
I'm sure.


















Matthew loves the outdoors.
He could live outside if we'd let him.
Before water restrictions hit, You'd
find Matthew watering the front yard
bushes and telling them to grow!







Matthew's favorite part of the house,
day or night. Outdoors, he loves
every inch. Digs for worms, runs, plays
hides, flips, you name it.

Champions Network

We spent last weekend at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas with Pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen. It is always refreshing to be with the Osteen family and other Pastor friends. Here are some pictures from Sunday and Monday; Champions Network.

Pastor Joel with Mark and Matthew

On our way in from the parking garage,
Matthew (4yrs old) was saying very
loudly Joel...Pastor Joel where are
you, I came to see you! Love my Matthew.

After this picture, the boys said Mommy
can we find his mom and his wife I need
a picture with them too.

Kids are awesome!








Pastor Benny is awesome! He is
doing a great work in Las Vegas.
Fighting the enemy, Preaching like
a Lion, Loving like a lamb, Leading
Strong.












Me, Marguerite Reeve
Several of the Pastors' Wives got
together after lunch and just talked.

Next week on CLUTCHtalk, I will
be sharing some of the insight
these wonderful ladies shared.












Penny Maxwell is so beautiful!
She Pastors alongside her husband
Troy Maxwell in Charlotte, NC.
If you are in that region or know
anyone who lives there, send them
to Freedom House Church! It was
great to see girlfriends, just being
around each other is energizing.










Dr. Nina is the wife of Bishop Bronner.
Together they co-labor in Austell,GA.
She has such a sweet spirit and with all
the success around her, she is a firm
believer that no success outside the
home, compensates for failure
within the home.











I LOVE Marie! Her mantra for life is
"Don't try to fit in, when God has called
you to stand out!" She is currently
expecting her second miracle baby.
I couldn't be more excited for her.
She co-labors alongside her husband











Vivian Coronado has an amazing voice
in case you haven't heard her yet. She
serves along side her husband Pastor
Steve Coronado in Corpus Christi, Texas.
My hometown. They have produced
several music projects, have one church in
two locations and are impacting the
South Texas region.











Yay for women Executive Pastors!
Makeda serves under the leadership
She is a gem! I met her thought Leading
and Loving It and it was so great to
connect in person. Love you Makeda!
