Current News & Prayer Request

Just a little bit on whats going on...
John and I went to look at a house yesterday that is about 10 minutes from our Church. Its a small 2 bedroom house, but its adorable. And if thats where the Lord wants us then it will be workable. We told the man that we want to pray about it for 2 weeks and then we will go from there. So we are asking you to help us pray that the Lord gives us the wisdom that we need in making this decision. Sorry I don't have pictures of it to show you, but if we end up moving into it I will post pictures then. :) I should soon get Elijah started with school and then out to enjoy the gorgeous weather that we have here again today. Just wanted to give you all informed of how things are going here and to let you better know how you can help us pray.

Spruce Lake Weekend

Well, we had a very nice weekend at Spruce Lake with the Leatherman clan. Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous day, so we were able to be outside enjoying Gods marvelous creation. Heading up Saturday morning we saw 14 deer. Unfortunately we didn't think to get the camera soon enough so we missed a deer that was right by the road.
I would say a majority of our day was spent by the pond throwing rocks in, looking for salamanders, frogs, turtles and whatever else boys can get into. We hope you enjoy the pictures of the boys and their day at Spruce Lake.

Joel & Elijah waiting to go on our walk to the pond the first time.
John and the boys either skipping rocks or just throwing them in. Then again they may have all been watching my cousin, Randy, skip rocks.

These pictures were just to good to pass up. John& Elijah looking at something or for something in the water & Joel just being boy and splashing with a stick.


Elijah & Joel had fun playing with their cousin Natalie either outside or in the cabin. Sunday it was raining in the morning so they had to play inside. But they made the best of it.
Sunday afternoon when we left it didn't take the boys long to fall asleep. I think Joel was asleep before we got a mile from the cabin. They were 2 very tired boys. They had a busy week of meetings then a fun weekend in the mountains.


Stop by anytime to see what we are up to. It is another beautiful day here. Hope wherever you may live it is nice also. I need to do some school with Elijah & then I'm sure its to the park sometime today. Probably after nap time.

Hi Everyone! Well, it looks like I am averaging about 1 update a month. Sorry about that, but you can count on at least 2 updates this month. So here is the latest...

Friday night and all day Saturday we had a Music Conference at our Church with Bro. Byron Foxx (Bible Truth Ministries) and Bro. Dennis Stremming. We ended it with a choir concert Saturday evening. Sunday we started right in with our Revival Meetings with Bro. Foxx. Last night was to be our last night but we are having such a good time in the Lord that Pastor has extended it to tonight and possibly tomorrow night. What a blessing!!

Saturday Morning we are heading up to Spruce Lake to spend Saturday and Sunday with the Leatherman clan. (those that can make it) We've been doing this for as long as I can remember. Every year we rent a cabin and whoever can make it comes. Some go up on Friday night already, but we are heading up Saturday morning so we are there in time for breakfast. Hopefully it will be nice that we are able to be outside either hiking or doing whatever. They have a lake that the kids always enjoy throwing rocks into. John will actually be "preaching" on Sunday, so please pray for him as he isn't sure what the Lord wants him to say, and to family. But we are looking forward to that time of relaxing after a long BUT GOOD week of Meetings.

Thanks for stopping by and checking in with our family. I'm hope to be blogging again after the weekend, sometime.
