Prasing God Through a Storm!

It is hard to love someone with everything you are and have to see them go through something beyond our control. But we know that God is in control and I place my trust in HIM. I know there are times we don't understand but know there is a reason for everything and one day He will show us. We see God's hand in everything the past 3 months to catch this cancer before it goes any further. We know that God has great plans for us and he will reveal it in his time! We will continue to serve and like Job never loose our faith! Thank you Lord for loving us enough to send your only Son before we were even born. We have an awesome and mighty God. I ask that you pray for my husband and our family. My husband is scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 7 am. Please pray that the physicians allow God to work through them and he has a speedy recovery.

What an Awesome WEEK!

We just returned from an amazing week of seeing GOD work through us on our mission trip. Satan attacked in everyway possible to try and tear us down from the time we arrived! We went to Wa-Floy Mountain Village in Gatlinburg Tennessee. We have been going to this camp for 10 or 12 years! We have seen God's amazing hand in so many lives that have been changed at this camp. Mr. & Mrs. Bell had a vision to buy this land and create a christian camp where students could go and leave the distractions of the world behind to draw close to the LORD! Mrs. Bell passed away at 98 yrs old and her grandson and granddaughter are trying to keep this vision going! If you could only imagine how overwhelming this is at times. satan attacks them in many ways. The facilities demand great up keep which also cost money. The dear people are trying to keep the vision that God laid upon their Grandparents hearts many year ago going. This past retreat in December the Lord laid upon on our heart why to we go other places to do mission work when we utilize facilities that needed mission work right under our noses. We went to Wa-Floy Mountain Village this week on a mission trip to do needed work to the Lodge in which we stay. God has and is going to do amazing things there. We raised money through a golf tournament and sales to purchase supplies needed to do the updates. Some men and women in our church along with 25 youth went and did amazing work. Don't think that we didn't get satan on the war path because of what we were going to do. We had two of our chaperone's fall off ladders which could have been serious but God's hand was upon what we were doing there and protected them from what could have been very bad. My precious husband was struck with a kidney stone which he has never had and went to the ER. Please pray for him cause he is still battling it as we speak. He is and awesome man of God with tremendous faith! Please pray hard that God will protect him against the attacks that satan is throwing our way. This week we were able to do the unthinkable. You would not believe the Lodge. Mr. and Mrs. Bell were a blessing to be around. We look forward to going back in June for our summer retreat! I praise God what He has done and what HE is going to do! Thank you LORD!

Washington At Its Best

I just have to tell you there is nothing better than going on a trip with your entire family and being able to just be together! We were blessed to get to take a trip to Washington with my husband who was attending a conference. My children were amazed at what they were seeing. Actually standing where our Presidents stood or stand at the Capitol and White House. It was an amazing trip! I will post some pictures later. If you ever have the opportunity to go I encourage it! What a blessed week!

I AM BLESSED!

I am still in shock that my sweet little girl is 16. She drove away to school today as I watched and thought wow what a beautiful Godly young lady she is growing up to be. My prayer is that God will use her to impact his Kingdom!
I am feeling a little old with a 20 yr old, a 16 yr old and a 6 yr old. I am so blessed to have been chose as their MOM. If I do not succeed in anything other than being a great Godly mother and wife then I have done what God has called me to be! Thank you Lord!!! I AM BLESSED! I AM BLESSED! To rise up in the morning and have what God has chose to give me! One who deserves nothing! A handsome loving Godly man and 3 beautiful children and a beautiful home to share with others!
Thank you LORD! I wanted to post a few pictures from my daughters party. The picture frame was created from a old picture that I painted the frame black used tacky spray and stuck some pink fabric on then used double sided tape to attach pictures. Turned out exactly like I wanted it to.

SAD But HAPPY
