Bobby Jack Outlaw II

Happy Birthday Kayla, we love you!

Love, B.J., Wayne and Buck

I'm watching and waiting boys for the day Jesus finally lets us all come live there with you. I can't wait...I miss you so much.

Love, Mama

Last week I was taking Johnathan to Brownwood for his counseling and we stopped to get gas. This brown butterfly landed on his shoe and just sat there. Then it got on his leg for a minute then the car tire. Finally Johnathan got it in his hand so I could take a picture of it. As soon as I got the picture it fluttered away. Brown butterflies are one of our signs from B.J. and it was perfect timing...Johnathan needed it.
Gotta love our sign from you B.J. Everyone always talks about these pretty little colorful butterflies that come fluttering around and I get a brown one that seems to like to peg me in the head! lol Only you B.J. The first time one came to visit I was sitting at a stop sign with my window down and it pegs me in the head and then sits on my car door for about 30 seconds before flying away. I've seen one often since then. Several times when I've been having a hard day I go outside and here comes my brown butterfly pegging me in the head and flying away. You always had such a sense of humor and it hasn't stopped. You know how to get Mama's attention don't you?
I love you so much...
Love, Mama

 

Hey Buddy Sister Bobbie asked me to write up something telling a little bit about you to put on your memory shelf in the Youth room. Here's what I wrote...

Bobby J. Outlaw II. (B.J.) was born on May 17, 1984 in Ft.Worth Texas. He passed away on Dec. 1, 2003 in Waco Texas at the young age of 19 yrs. He was still living at home with his family, when Jesus called him to his new home in Heaven.
B.J. was active in the church. He was part of the Praise and Worship Leaders amd was also active in the Youth Ministry. Always there, always willing to give a helping hand when needed.
B.J. has three sisters. Amanda is his older sister by one year, Kayla is three years younger than him, and then his youngest sister is Sarah who is nine years younger. B.J. has three little brothers, Wayne and Buck (twins) with him in Heaven, and his youngest brother Johnathan, who is seventeen years younger than him. Then there is his Mama and Daddy that loves him more than life itself and misses him more than words can express. B.J. was the best son, brother and friend that anyone could ever ask for. He was loved by everyone that knew him and he brought such joy to us all. Our hearts will forever be broken since the Lord called him home. He lived his life here for the Lord and now he will live his Eternal life with the Lord.
Completeness of a life is not measured in length only, it is measured in the deeds and commitments that give a life purpose.
B.J. lived, he died, and now he will live forever!

 

I just wanted to share this with you boys. Aren't you so proud of Sarah? I know I am.



so i just wanted to tell yall something so super exciting!!
here at the place i work at we have a few drink machines so people are always drinking sodas. well i purposed the idea of recycling the cans and saving the tabs for the Ronald McDonald house. the idea went to the secretary of the company and i now have officially started a recycling program and saving tabs for the McDonald house here at work. i know it may seem silly and small but to me this is big and i'm so excited that my idea was accepted. we are going to help so many families at the Ronald House and even may be giving the extra money for the cans to the House as well. not everything is sorted out but i'm so excited because i started something at work!!

 BJ...you are so loved, and so missed.  I am blowing kisses to heaven for you to catch.  Blow some back to your mama {{{{CINDY}}}} and let her feel the gentle breeze.  XXXXXxxxxxxxxooo

Hey Buddy it's been 23 years ago today that the church got started here. That means 23 years ago since I was filled with the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus name. I'm so thankful that Brother and Sister Mullins answered the call of the Lord and came here so we could recieve salvation. That's why I have the assurance that you are in Heaven...because I know you were saved...and I am so thankful.

Love, Mama

Happy Birthday to our nephew Elijah!
Love, Uncle B.J., Wayne and Buck

The youth had a youth rally last night and Kayla recorded one ot the songs they did. Sarah got to be up front this time so she's easy to see in this video. I'm sure proud of her and all the youth. Tyler is the only young man doing it. He's doing great!

B.J. I'm so sad. Grammy passed away and I'm going to miss her so much.

B.J. the young peoples van got broke into while on their way to congress and a lot of things were stolen. All the young people and Mark and Bobbi are alright...thank you Jesus...but Sarah just called and is crying and so upset. I know all the others ones must be too. Please ask Jesus to help them. I hate knowing Sarah is crying and I can't be there for her.

Happy Birthday Ien, we love you!

Happy Birthday Dad, we love you!

Something happened today that I thought it was sweet and wanted to share it. Today was such a tough day. Several times I wanted to post on my fb status asking for someone...to sing me a smile. (a quote off of the Jack Frost movie) I just needed a reason to smile and those words kept coming to me...but I never posted it.
Then tonight I was talking in the chat with a friend of mine name Jerry and he told me he "made good with a song today". Well I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. Then he told me it had to do with a song about Texas and asked if I knew any songs that mention Texas? I said the only one that comes to mind is The Yellow Rose of Texas. He told me that's it. He and his wife Char are working on their children's memory garden and they planted a yellow rose bush in it. I asked what that had to do with me and he said...because you're my friend and you're from Texas. It was in honor of our friendship. Aww it made me cry but it touched my heart.
Now hours later I remember what I had wanted today...for someone to sing me a smile. Do you see the connection? The song...the rose...a great friendship...made my heart smile.♥
Wasn't that the sweetest thing? Jesus has blessed me with such a wonderful friend.
Love, Mama

Happy 4th of July B.J., Wayne and Buck. Oh how I wish you were here!
Love, Mama

I wanted to come here and share something that happened today. You know Johnathan has been sick...so I took him to the doctor today. As much as I don't like him to be sick I can't help but see the Lord's hand in it for the good. B.J. you know Dr Morris is a good Godly man. One our family has grown to love over the years. He's done wonderful on helping us take care of Johnathan's medical needs when he was so sick as a baby. And over the years since you left he's been there for us in a way many in the medical field would not have done. He's prayed for us and given out so many much needed hugs over the years. He's such a very kind and compassionate young man that we're blessed to have in our lives. Now for what happened...
When he came into the exam room today right from the start he told us he had had a tough week but that he had just gotten some good news and to excuse him if he cried because he just couldn't hold back. We just let him talk. He said his young sister-in-law (age 28) had just this week been diagnosed with leukemia. She had not been sick but had just recently started feeling tired all the time. And then on Monday had started hemorrhaging and they almost lost her. Thankfully right now she is stable and is beginning chemo today. Anyway just before he came in to see us he found out she was going to get married. She had a big wedding planned for Sept. but her fiance didn't want to wait. He wanted to be her husband and take care of her in all the ways a husband can so they were getting married today...this morning...with her in the hospital. Dr Morris told me he was so torn between being so sad that she is sick and so happy for them getting married. Oh it broke my heart to see this young man (I say young man because he's only in his late 30's) sit there with Johnathan and I and just pour is heart out with tears falling. I am sure he would not have done that with just any of his patients. That is why I said earlier I could see the Lord's hands in it for the good. I honestly believe he wanted us there at that time and for that reason. When we were ready to leave I told him come here and gave him a big hug and reassured him we would keep his sister-in-law in prayer (her name is Sarah) and he just hugged me big and cried. Then Johnathan latched on to him with a big hug. Afterwords he told us thank you that he had needed us and he felt better. Isn't the Lord so good? Please ask Jesus to touch Sarah and heal her. She's got a long hard road ahead of her.
And as for Johnathan. Ends up he has strep throat but he got med. for it and I know he's going to be fine.
Love Mama 

Happy Father's Day Dad, we love you!
Love, B.J., Wayne and Buck
