Catching Up!

-

Our family has been busy lately!!! Here are some of the things that has been going on in our life, and the reason why I have not been able to post in a while.

On Monday, April 28th, Mom, Silas, Micah, and I went to visit our grandparents down south in Fort Myers. We had a great time, then left Thursday. 




We were able to visit the beach! Not much of a sunset, but we still had a great time!

                               Our grandma bought us all new Sketchers shoes! This was such a treat and a blessing for sure!


On Wednesday night, us kids and mom were able to sing at the Winkler Road Baptist church, where my grandparents attend services. It was special, especially since I love serving the Lord through singing!


The day after we got back from Fort Myers, on a Friday, I repacked and then left for a ladies' conference our church's ladies enjoy every year. The speaker was a blessing and we made some fun memories!


Well, after coming back from the ladies' conference that Saturday, we had a busy day on Sunday, then Monday, the 5th, was my birthday! We packed (again!) that morning and went to a conference in GA, at Countryside Baptist Church till Wednesday. Boy, did we have a great time! It was such a refreshing time, especially since we got to spend time with some of our favorite preachers. And, us younger three even got to sing in the youth choir. 

                                     The night before we celebrated my birthday with funnel cakes. Thanks, Dad and Mom, for making them!

I do not know if this will process, but this is a short clip of us singing in the youth choir!


If the video did not work, here is a picture of us in the youth choir instead. : )

After we left this conference on Wednesday, the days were busy until we had to pack again for a short trip to GA, this time for a funeral. A good friend of our family's and an influential part in the starting of Victory Springs passed away. While the service was a blessing, we will certainly miss that special person. 

So, that is what we have been up to lately! Hopefully, I will be able to post again soon, to continue the Biblical Femininity series!

 Hey there! My name is Callie Gimenez and the purpose of this blog is to show what my life is like as a pastor's kid. First and foremost, all blessings in this life come ultimately from God, and I am truly blessed beyond measure with the wonderful (and maybe a tad crazy), family He has given me! : ) Here is all of us at our family Valentine Banquet. Our different personalities definitely show in the  picture above!  We live in small-town Fort White, Florida, where my Dad pastors at Victory Springs Independent Baptist Church, a church we started 10 years ago after leaving the mission field. I love our church and watching God grow it!  I also love our family's small farm we have on our 4 acres, where we raise goats, rabbits, two dogs, a cat, and hopefully hedgehogs if I can convince Dad enough. : )  Sure, my life is simple, but that's why I named my blog "Simply Callie" - because while our family doesn't have all the money, a ginormous flat-screen TV, or the nic...

My Family

 Hey! So, I wanted to introduce my family really quickly. They are the people who have influenced me the most to live for the Lord, and they make being a Christian fun! This is Dad and Mom - my hero and heroine who led me to the Lord when I was 10, and who have shown me the right way to live as a God-honoring daughter of the Lord. Both of their testimonies of coming to know the Lord are amazing and touch my heart every time I hear it! I love them both so much! This is my Bethie. : ) AKA, Elisabeth... writer, (both of songs and of books,) reader, and the lady who has shown me how to prepare myself for my future husband. She's an awesome older sister! These two guys here are my brothers... Silas, (who's 16,) is on the right, and Micah, (who's 13,) is on the left. They both love football and sports, and can be a bit weird at times. : )  This is my older brother, Joshua, my sister-in-law Tabitha, and their kids: Liberty, Freedom, Victory, and Patriot. Since Josh and Tabitha are...

My Testimony

-
 Hi! As you know by now, I am a Baptist pastor's daughter. So, from a young age, I was raised hearing the gospel and hearing about the only way I could go to Heaven when I died. So, for this post, I thought I would share with you my testimony of coming to know the Lord as my personal Savior. But this means I have to start from the very beginning!  Even before I was born, I was hearing about Jesus and how He died for our sins. I was born in Quebec, Canada in May of 2010, while my family was at language school learning French. You see, my family was called to the French West Indies as missionaries where my Dad was born and raised for the first part of his life. But, needing to know the language, they moved to Canada temporarily to learn French. And then, I was born!  After a little while, we finally moved to the French West Indies, where we served for 2 and a half years and were able to reach 3 quarters of the island with the gospel. My family had the wonderful opportunity ...
