This is Rebecca Kellum
I'm sorry the blogs have been so silent. In order for me to post pics
they first have to be on PicasaWebs which can be so time consuming, and the
posts are difficult to get to.
I have a Facebook page now! If you care to check it, you can find faster updates
and pictures of what's going on in our lives. Not saying I'm closing the blogs or anything
like that! But check it out, please!
Thanks!His Way Serviceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399253900250847411noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121337165239928997.post-63506619715844506302020-07-01T23:04:00.001-07:002020-07-01T23:04:14.489-07:00Liberty is Too Precious a Thing - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (4/8) Mov...<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/17MyPrAEQ28" width="480"></iframe><br />His Way Serviceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399253900250847411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121337165239928997.post-59579828854659487322020-06-30T23:09:00.001-07:002020-06-30T23:09:11.356-07:00#12 - Wendy Dicken, Midwest Center for Creative Arts<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1RBO0jsGHRk" width="480"></iframe><br />

How are you all? Are you staying safe, and staying well? <br />
I have never seen something like this in my lifetime. It's like events I have read<br />
about in the history books, only it's happening now! The lifestyle change at the<br />
stores, and visiting with people is mind blowing. <br />
<br />
We must continue to pray for those who have lost loved ones so suddenly<br />
due to this virulent plague, for those who are sick, and those who are fighting it.<br />
Honestly, by quarantine and social distancing, we are all fighting it! <br />
<br />
Thank you to those who are on the front lines:<br />
<br />
Thank you to the doctors, nurses, first responders, and all medical<br />
staff for your taxing sacrifices! We pray and hope you are seeing some<br />
of the fruits of your labors. May this mess end soon!<br />
<br />
Thank you to the people who work at medical facilities who are not <br />
medically personnel: secretaries, janitors...<br />
<br />
Thank you to the bankers, grocery workers, POSTAL SERVICE, <br />
police officers, gas station workers, fast food workers, retail workers, the list goes on <br />
and on. Thank you for going out there everyday to give us a sense of normalcy! We appreciate it and<br />
pray for your safety! <br />
<br />
Thank you to our soldiers who daily put their lives on the line for us oversees, under <br />
conditions we cannot imagine. You and your families are thought of often! You are<br />
NOT forgotten, no matter how much the news might make you feel like you are!<br />
<br />
What is interesting is that weeks before this virus bombarded us, the Lord was putting<br />
it on my heart to give thanks for bankers, grocery workers, postal service, and others. He was laying it on my heart that these people have important jobs too, even though they may be overlooked<br />
because they don't have a 'cool' job like police officers and such. God pressed this into my mind<br />
for a while even before this hit! <br />
<br />
To those of you who have lost loved ones or fear that you might, my heart goes out to you! <br />
I am so sorry for what you are going through. With all the many ways people can pass away, <br />
with car accidents and other things, this fell on us so suddenly. <br />
<br />
And to those of you who are patients in medical facilities, our thoughts are with you too!<br />I can't imagine being in there for so long, <em>without </em>being able to have visitors! Our <br />
prayers are with you! <br />
<br />
I do hope and pray this ends soon. Stay safe and healthy. <br />
<br />

Yes, we're still here and I feel so bad for not posting <br />
for so long. The main reason I haven't is because blogging on here<br />
isn't like one my wordpad program for the computer where I can <br />
click on Save or Don't Save before finishing something. ONE time<br />
on here, I had written a HUGE post and had worked so hard at getting<br />
it right! Then with one accidental push of the wrong button, it all disappeared<br />
and then on here the post automatically saved! And I could not get the original <br />
post back! <br />
<br />
I want to share with you guys, I really do. But I dread the thought of <em>again, </em>pouring out<br />
my heart or writing something important to me, and very long, only to have <br />
it wiped away just like that and having to reword everything. In case you're wondering,<br />
that is the main reason I haven't posted. But I think of you every day!<br />

This scene with Aragorn reminds me so much of life, especially when your claim to follow<br />
Jesus. It's like on of the moments, when you're like, "You're not gonna control me, satan! I've<br />
got the written Word on my side! So go ahead and come at me. Hit me with everything you've got!"<br />

<br />
This is the best clip I've found of the end of the curse, with no cutting short<br />
the miraculous scenes. In the theater when the Beast and all the servants died,<br />
Annah and I were ugly sobbing. And they were all restored and we were happily<br />
sobbing. They did an excellent job on this film, showing even deeper how much<br />
it meant to the servants and just everyone to have the curse broken. It leaves me<br />
cheering for all of them. So beautiful!His Way Serviceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399253900250847411noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121337165239928997.post-8881306558149839302019-07-16T21:48:00.002-07:002019-07-16T21:48:21.021-07:00Is This Real? One year. Did this really happen? I was there, but I still<br />
can't believe what I saw. I still can't believe this actually <br />
happened! Today, it has been one year since my Mom <br />
left us to go be with Jesus! This passed week, year<br />
actually has been very difficult. Lately, I have felt<br />
so lonely, overwhelmed, and scared! Scared that something<br />
else bad is going to happen. <br />
<br />
Listening to 99.1!JOYFM has helped us through so much! Dad<br />
and I were blessed to go to the Casting Crowns concert at the<br />
Family Arena when they came to St. Louis back in April. It<br />
was wonderful! Several songs we knew, but I still cried through<br />
several of them. JOYFM has been a huge blessing to us.<br />
<br />
Mom's health was going down a lot last year, even though we<br />
didn't know the full extent of just how bad! She'd gone to the doctor<br />
several times the month before she died, and each time she was getting<br />
sicker and they didn't do a full workup on her. Mom was depressed,<br />
sad, and lashed out at us for such minor things I couldn't believe it! <br />
I knew she'd gotten mad or upset before in the past, but this was? <br />
<br />
When Mom was in the hospital, her body was shutting down. Annah<br />
and I went to church that Sunday morning, and people asked how<br />
Mom was doing. We told them <em>not good! </em>I remember what I said <br />
to two sweet ladies who asked me how I was doing. I started crying<br />
and said, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but if there was ever a time<br />
that God was going to take Mom home to be with Him, I wish<br />
He'd do it now and get it over with! She's so sick, and even <em>if </em>she<br />
survives this, she won't have a life! And I would not want to see<br />
her suffer like this again!" <br />
<br />
Our good friend James Wilkerson came up and stayed with us. I'm so<br />
glad he was there! I don't know what we would've done without him! <br />
Anyway, on the way home from the hospital, <em>just hours </em>before Mom<br />
died, we were listening to JOYFM, and MercyMe's Even If played. <br />
<br />
The end was peaceful but it ripped my heart. I could write so many <br />
details about it but not tonight. Even now when talking to my counselor,<br />
one of our family pastors, I want to talk about, but I still don't know <em>how!</em><br />
<em></em><br />
The funeral was beautiful. We were kindly surrounded by so many<br />
family and friends, old and new. We picked Mom's favorite colors,<br />
and dressed her in pink, her all time favorite. <br />

The first time I watched the <em>Lord of the Rings </em>trilogy all the way through, by the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
end, I was ugly crying. The ending scene where Frodo joins the elves, his uncle, and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gandalf to sail away to the Undying Lands is so bittersweet. Frodo suffered horribly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and not of his own choice, and he never fully recovered from it. God has used that scene</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
to comfort me even though it is so sad, because it reminds me of Mom.</div>

back at them with the biggest smile, letting them know, "It's gonna be okay,"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and he is finally at peace. This is how I imagine it must have been for Mom,</div>

progress, but I didn't want to share anything till I knew for sure<br />
if and when she could come home. <br />
<br />
So, baby Sarah is home! She's been home for a few weeks. She <br />
steadily, quickly grew healthy enough to leave the hospital-praise<br />
God-. She is doing well and is so precious. She is a mix of Caroline<br />
and George. I'll try to share pictures soon!<br />
<br />
I know the blog's been quiet. I...I have so much that I want to say, <br />
and some of it is hard to put into words. The passed two months have<br />
been hard: family issues, communication, etc. (No, our family doesn't <br />
have all the answers and we are far from perfect! We have problems same<br />
as everybody else!) <em>Some </em>things are getting better-thank God-, but <br />
there are some days where I just want a quiet place to think deeply. I miss<br />
my mom. Yes, things were rough and tense close to the end, but still...she<br />
and I shared so many things with each other. And the anniversary of her <br />
death is coming up soon! And I had my first birthday without her. <br />
<br />
We've been watching the <em>Lord of the Rings </em>series for the first time, <br />
and honestly, it has inspired and encouraged us to be there for <br />
each other and other people, and especially not to let the <br />
darkness completely rule out our view of the light. In those<br />
stories, things looked completely hopeless and all seemed<br />
absolutely lost! But there was always someone who kept<br />
reminding the characters, <em>"There's always hope." </em>They <br />
couldn't see it at the time, but in the end they did. What they<br />
had to do, was keep fighting, keep going, keep believing, and <br />
<strong><em><u>NEVER </u></em></strong>give up, in despair! So, yes, this series has been a<br />
blessing from God, and at the right time! I do want to share later<br />
about one particular scene that I knew was from God, that He <br />
showed me as a great comfort right now. <br />
<br />
God is blessing my acting, and He has opened so many doors to<br />
me since bringing me to my theatre group! Performing is so much<br />
fun, but also a great way to express emotions and let out energy, which<br />
I need right now! AND, it is a consistency in life that I need too. So,<br />
yes, God is still good. <br />
<br />
Dad, Ryan, and I went to Turkey Hill for the weekend. Annah stayed home<br />
with our dog, Thea. She needed a break from everyone and did a lot of<br />
much needed housework without everyone under foot! It was good to <br />
be back at Turkey Hill, and Ryan had a blast, but I'm glad to be back home!<br />
I had a real scare on Saturday. The life guard in the pool had to pull Ryan <br />
and me back to the wall! I was swimming with Ryan, holding him, then I<br />
dipped, <em>just slightly, </em>and he panicked and grabbed me by the neck. I was<br />
trying to swim back to the wall, but he got more scared and kept grabbing me<br />
tighter! He was clutching my neck so hard I couldn't swim properly. I was trying to<br />
keep him above the water, but felt my strength giving out. Though I didn't really fall<br />
under, it did come up to my ears and I felt like I couldn't stay up much <br />
longer. Thank God the lifeguard came. He pulled us both back. Soon as Ryan<br />
was back on solid ground, he ran off to play again. I was really shaken up.<br />
I have felt scared before, many times, and terrified, but <em>never </em>like that! <br />
I felt so shaky and my heart was racing like crazy. The nurse came out<br />
and took a look at me, and tried to make sure I was calm. I could<br />
breathe and speak, but my chest was racing almost like I've never felt<br />
before. I got dressed and she monitored me a few more times in the evening.<br />
My pulse and oxygen levels were a little lower than they should have been,<br />
but I just tried to lay down a lot and get some rest so that really helped <br />
bring them back up. I didn't go to chapel that night, I slept, and when I woke up<br />
I felt reenergized at least mentally. Next day? Felt normal, thank God.<br />
But that was so scary! I've never experienced fear like that. It was<br />
like a bad dream, where I wasn't sure if we were going to make it out!<br />
But God protected us and we're home now.<br />

<br />
I'm asking prayer for our cousin Leona, George's mommy. Leona is<br />
34 weeks pregnant with their 3rd baby and she needs to have a <br />
C-section today or tomorrow! The doctor's found a type of<br />
aneurysm on the umbilical cord which could cause a still birth<br />
after 37 weeks. And the baby is only 30 weeks in size! This <br />
will be the 2nd time that they've had a baby in the NICU. <br />
Aunt Jean is looking after George and Caroline who miss<br />
their mommy! They all need LOTS of prayer right now! <br />

about it everyday, and thought, "I really need to just post this!" <br />
But I wanted to give long, detailed paragraphs of what was<br />
going on behind the pictures. But as you have said before,<br />
I don't need to do that. So, I suppose this is as good a time<br />
as any to share with you pictures, even from last year. Some<br />
are from 2017, and some are from this year.<br />
<br />
I apologize for taking so long.<br />

perform in my very first play! Hard to believe. Our<br />
acting coaches, Erin and Cal are great and know their<br />
stuff! Our choreographer Beth is fun to work with, <br />
and our director Wendi is so sweet to us. I'm<br />
excited and nervous, but our brush up<br />
rehearsal last night went exceptionally well! <br />
Let's take from that and apply it altogether! <br />
<br />
My very first play is tonight! Thank You, Lord<br />
for working things out and bringing me to this<br />
group! <br />

My heart has broken before watching this scene when Raul says, "I'm<br />
gonna go show Mom." Then it hits him. She's gone. My heart has cracked at<br />
that scene over and over again...but <em>never </em><u>like this!!! </u>His Way Serviceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399253900250847411noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121337165239928997.post-23210820748293329782018-10-18T21:58:00.000-07:002018-10-18T21:58:50.848-07:00My Little BrotherEveryone, your continued thoughts and prayers for us <br />
are sweet tidbits that we look forward to. Right now I'm<br />
asking extra prayer for Ryan. For most of this time, he's<br />
been pretty much okay. But lately, I think he's beginning<br />
to feel the reality that Mom isn't here anymore and he<br />
doesn't understand! He's only 3 and a 1/2! He's been <br />
more open that he misses her, and says a lot, "I want my<br />
mommy back." We try to explain it to him-or rather, Dad does, I <br />
have such a hard time trying-, and he listens and repeats after us,<br />
but he still doesn't get it. I don't know how to help him through<br />
this and it all hurts! <br />
<br />
I have a hard time talking about her in front of him-which <br />
probably isn't helping-but I'm afraid of having a major breakdown<br />
in front of him. I don't want to scare him by doing that. <br />

thinks Mom is going to come back for his birthday party in December! He hasn't</div>

Christmas is what I'm dreading! We are already getting excited for it, for Ryan,</div>

and planning to do our best to make it fun and special. But even so, Christmas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em>without </em>Mom?! That just seems so painfully impossible, when I imagine Christmas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Day without her! Her not being there as we open presents and be together? How</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
is this even real? </div>
