What a great night. Ya know sometimes I just look around my living room on Monday nights and I think, I can't believe this is really happening! We had our regular group of about 26 people. More men continue to come, some weeks some men don't come but God always brings someone else to fill in the gaps! We have had at least one new person every week. That is a HUGE answer to prayer. We continue to have more conversations each week and everyone is beginning to open up! All I can say is God is MOVING!! Please continue to pray for Mondays as I am sure Satan is NOT happy!
Please pray for us tomorrow as we will be traveling. Saturday is Jerod's birthday as well as my mother's ( so anyone who knows her can harass her as she will be turning......you can ask her! :o} ) and we are going on a two-day vacation to celebrate their birthdays! I figure since we can't have my mom here with us to celebrate at least we can make it really awesome for her! So we are headed to the beach. We should have internet there so I will try to keep you updated. Please pray that we can keep Annie well covered and that we have no more problems with the sun! Thanks so much for all of your prayers and I PROMISE the newsletter is coming!
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
DEAR MISSY, GREG, JEROD, ALEX AND ANNIE,
ReplyDeleteFIRSTLY, JEROD I HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY. I HOPE YOUR MAMA SAY HAS A GREAT ONE TOO!. THE BEACH TRIP BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SOUNDS SO MUCH FUN. YOU ALL DESERVE A SPECIAL GETAWAY. CARL AND I RECENTLY HAD A SPECIAL 10TH ANNIVERSARY GETAWAY AND IT WAS GREAT. I HOPE YOURS' WILL BE TOO!.
IM SO HAPPY YOU HAD A GOOD TURNOUT FOR YOUR MONDAY NIGHT WORSHIP SERVICE, AND THAT THE WEATHER WAS GOOD FOR YOU BAPTISMS. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU BROUGHT JOY, FRIENDSHIP AND PLEASURE TO YOUR FRIENDS AT THE POOL. I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THEIR FACES, WITH THERE FIRST DIP IN A SWIMMING POOL! I REMEMBER MY FIRST SWIMMING LESSON. I WAS SCARED, BUT LATER ON MAMA AND DADDY COULDNT GET ME OUT OF THE POOL. I ALSO REMEMBER MY BAPTISM AT 1ST BAPTIST CHURCH. I WAS 27 AND MAMA, DADDY AND MY WHOLE SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS WAS THERE. IT WAS A WONDERFUL FEELING TO BECOME BORN AGAIN AND TO HAVE SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE SUPPORTING MY DECISION. HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY TRIP, AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU. LOVE, ROBIN
Hi Missy,Greg,Jerod,Alex,& Annie,
ReplyDeleteWe are rejoicing with you over the way the people are coming to your Mon. night meetings.The Lord is really blessing your hard work there. I know that this is a source of encouragement to you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEROD!!!!!!. Have a great time at the beach. Jerod I can remember taking care of you in the nursery at church.One Halloween you came to our front door to trick or treat. You were all dressed up, and we have it on video, which we looked at not long ago. I also still have some pictures that you drew for us. You were very special to us, and still are. We knew you better then your brother and sister, but they are pretty special too. Hope to get to see you all when you come to the states next summer. You all have a great time at the beach.
Love Ya,
Mama Dottie
Happy Birthday Jerod to the tune of, well, the happy birthday song!!!!
