much love for the Vignery's

Top ten (+5) favorite memories/things I’m going to miss/reasons why I love the Vignery’s:



  • julie’s willingness to dive right into community (showing up at Friday Fun way back when…that really wasn’t so way back…)

  • going to Callaway Gardens together

  • bags of clothes that just appear in our car and happen to fit caroline perfectly

  • the way they give and serve – community group leaders, worship team, sound tech, and in other ways that I’m not even aware of!

  • the honor, integrity, courage, and sacrifice that is demonstrated in their service to our country…and the humility that surrounds jeff’s leadership.

  • julie’s willingness to host Friday fun from time to time

  • her desire for things to be in their place

  • the way jeff and julie are raising their children unto the lord (“if it feels hard, then you’re probably doing something right” – quote from jeff)

  • julie’s the one that introduced me to Sacred Parenting – my life will never be the same! :)

  • the way jeff & julie go on dates (ballroom dancing!) – they intentionally make time to be together and invest in one another and in their marriage. they set an example that other couples would be wise to follow!

  • seeing Jaxon and Jadyn baptized

  • their “lucky family” Christmas card – so beautiful!

  • the way julie lives, appreciates and models modesty

  • sopapilla cheesecake (and having the recipe in my box!)

  • the way they have handled this move – i really think julie should write a book or article or SOMETHING on how to transition well - the vignery's have done a great job of celebrating/releasing the past and looking to the future/embracing what God has in store!

there are probably other things i'll think of as soon as i hit “publish post” …but these are the ones that immediately come to mind! here's a link to julie's blog if you want to keep up with them...or want to get know this fabulous family!! http://www.jugglingthejs.blogspot.com/

Jeff, Julie, Jaxon, Jadyn & James – the cash family is going to miss you! Corpus Christi’s gain is definitely feeling like our loss. Our thoughts, prayers, friendship and love go with you! Grace and peace to you during this next season of life – and always.
