His Promises Still Stand

Unfortunately, it will be awhile before we open and we will keep you posted. It makes a year that we started this adventure.

We are broken hearted about our community and what they have faced and are facing.

This has given me a lot of time to process what we have endured and are enduring. We prep for these hurricanes and we can't always be sure that our prep work will sustain. But that's because we treat this like our final destination trying to make it perfect. Trying to get it just right when honestly none of this matters. We have to prepare our hearts for the final destination. We have to prepare ourselves for where we spend eternity, not where we spend our dash.

We love our community and parish and will try to help in any way we can. Even if that means you just need to cry or need prayer. We will be there!! So please visit us and come by to say hi, let us pray with you and help.

We will survive! Our God is bigger than any storm! His promises are bigger than anything we ever had before!

So let's do this!

Not for Sale ...

Lord come against any fear in our hearts and minds. Let our minds focus on You and know that You are a sovereign God that even a blade of grass doesn't move without your approval. We humbly come before you and thank you for Your promises. That You provide for the sparrows and lilies, so we thank You for our provisions which are plentiful.

Devil, you have no real estate here so exit and leave. We claim this land and ourselves for the Lord. Let the peace of the Holy Spirit fall upon us! Let us see past our circumstances and see You in it!

Let the blood of Jesus protect us and keep us safe. Send all the angels to surround our area and lead us in wisdom and care for our homes and hearts.

We glorify and praise you Lord in it all!

Amen

Love you all!

Keep focused on Him, be prepared & stay aware and alert!

Watch & See

Devil you are a liar!! Stop trying to steal real estate from the Lord! You think you have won, but my God is greater and He will have the victory. This will not stop us from pursuing the Lord and we will overcome.

Job lost it all and though you thought you had the upper hand Job continued to praise the Lord.

Victory Life and Rise & Gouaux do not belong to you and never will despite your tactics. My faith will only grow stronger and we will still help others!

You just wait and see what the Lord can do after this! Watch us and watch the Lord work through us!

She is ...

She is Defined by Christ

She is Loved

She is Chosen

She is Bold

She is Beautiful

She is Cherished

She is Wise

She is Healed

She is Victorious

She is His

This year has been full of many changes - some we didn't like and others that we didn't blink an eye at. Claire is starting a new adventure that I ask all of you to pray for!

She is starting her sophomore year at Liberty University Online Academy. She will no longer be at Central Lafourche. We prayed about our decision and for her we felt this was God led! It is a Christian based program that she is excited to start. Let the filling begin and our cup overflow! #fearfullyandwonderfullymade

Press Pause

Before I post the tremendous amount of photos and videos of senior graduation stuff for Hunter. I want to first take a moment to tell you about this gal. The Lord is my rock no doubt, but without this gal here I would have not survived some events these last few months. It is hard finding a friend that can truly relate to you on a spiritual level and understand your "bible" talk - yet this gal gets me and hung in there with me through some stuff when she could have just jumped ship. And though I regret our friendship didn't start sooner (why I'll never know) I am so thankful God ordained our steps in planning senior events together and bonded us to watch our "babies" turn into young men on that stage last night! Christy, you are a beautiful woman of God and I am honored to call you my friend!

You Lived

 

Difficult

Hard

Tough

Challenging

All words that describe the year we have endured in what will forever be remembered as that year we -

Faced each other differently

Missed smiles

Missed people

Missed opportunities

Struggled navigating

And stumbled through uncertainties

Yet it was also the year we -

Endured even when it seemed impossible

Held on to our faith

Loved deeper

Pushed harder

And watched as God moved mountains.

Hunter your senior year wasn't what we planned or hoped for, but God had other plans. A friend once told me God isn't in the business of making us comfortable, but in the business of building character. He is building a fearless man of God in you that will someday change the world.

#unforgettable2021

Well ...

There are a lot of things I could say about 2020 and 2021.

Some bad, but mostly good. My pastor preached on Sunday about basically where are you positioned. If we are not positioned to be following Jesus our circumstances can be quite dreary.

It made me think a lot about how that plays out in my own life. Have I been positioned in every situation properly - no but I get back up and try again. I think it is important to be real about your struggles, your concerns and be honest with the Lord (cuz let's be real you can't really hide from him - that's like trying to hide you didn't break your diet but gained 10 lbs) also being honest with others doesn't hurt either but it is all in how you are positioned doing so. If you are positioned not following the Lord you might handle things in haste, in anger or resentment. But if you are positioned following the Lord you will handle these honest conversations with grace, mercy and love. A lot of progress is made that way!

I love that 2020-21 brought out the creative side in people. It caused people to get creative in the way they communicate, work and celebrate. I am humbled by watching the Lord work on so many hearts this last year and joyful over the mountains he continues to move for us. He has never left us, but sometimes we leave Him and place Him outside our boat. I am guilty of it at times I will admit that. Being honest with ourselves about what we struggle with is just as important. Our position with the Lord truly is the root of the problem. #positionyaselfwitdalord #mountup #senior2021momsquad
