Working hard already
Today we started helping around the church to get ready for this weekend. We are having a 10 year anniversary celebration this weekend. Saturday night we will be having a banquet. Then Sunday we will have a special service. Today we were finishing up cleaning the church and the lawn. The lawn mower is not very good so we were having to rake up the grass and haul it away. Simeon and Dawson were helping us pick up the piles of grass and loading it. They were actually a big help. The girls helped too, until they got tired.
Thank you everyone who is leaving posts. We love hearing from you. I had to sit down this morning and have a cry after reading them. I love you all and I miss you. I know this is where God wants us, but it is also a little sad to know we won’t see you for a while.
We are suffering from jet lag a little. It is not a bad as I thought it would be. Simeon is having the hardest time. He been playing and working real hard, so he is taking naps, which he never does. He however, has a great friend with Dawson. After 15 minutes of playing he said “Dawson, you’re my best friend”, those of you who know him, know that everyone is his best friend. Dawson and him are getting along great so that helped me out a lot.
We went and looked at a house today, and we sign lease papers tomorrow. I am very excited about it. It has 4 bedrooms. The kids all picked out their bedroom today. Simeon picked out the master suite, which he is not getting, but it was a nice try on his part. It has a huge kitchen with (Thank you Jesus) a dishwasher. YEAH!!!!!! It has a big nice stove, bigger than my old one. They are going to provide us a washing machine. Over here they hang out their clothes instead of using a dryer, so I will try this for a while.
Please keep us in your prayers. We love you all so much. We will be praying for you. I will get off now. I have to sit outside to post because the wireless signal does not go through the walls of the AIM Flat. I can see my breathe, and my fingers are starting to freeze it is 42 degrees tonight.
I am so glad God is working things out for you guys.(a dish washer) So your cascade you sent in faith will come in handy when it gets there.It’s sounds like you are going to have a great weekend. I know you are where God wants you and I am expecting to here about Rileys’ healing.( It’s already done) We miss you terribly.The past 2 mornings Dad has turned the computer on at 5:30 to see if you had written anthing.Give hugs to the kids.
Ma-Maw & Pa-Paw
I’m so proud of you all! You are continuing to lead our congregation by example. It’s easy to lead with your mouth, but another thing altogether to lead with your feet. You’re departure will inspire, challenge and produce more faith than any of my sermons. You’re family has become an Epistle that will be read by many. Your courage is the evidence of your faith and just a mustard seed of faith can change a nation. Thanks for investing in my dream and helping me cast the vision here in Doniphan. (I’ll forever be indebted and grateful) But now it’s time for you to dream your own dream and cast your own vision and I’m honored to be able to invest in your ministry. (More coming from the Church in February) I believe in you two! See you at the top!
It is good to hear that you all made it there in one piece and are settling in. We are proud of you all. It is one thing to say that you are going to do something, but another thing to actually do it! We are excited for you all too. What a great adventure you all are on! Jeff has even been a little envious of you all since he looked up the average year around temperature in Ireland. HA! It sounds perfect! We can’t wait to hear more about the healing that Riley has experienced. We, like so many others, are claiming it with you all in Jesus’ name.
“O Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good………”
We are looking forward to reading more post from you all. You are in our prayers.
