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.

Baby it's cold outside!
I will post more later, I promise! I have lots to say, can you imagine? I just had to tell you that Greg and I have had this little bet going on that winter hasn't gone away. He says it has and I say we are still in for some more flurries. Well, he came in with his tail between his legs; so to speak and said, "Miss, I guess you win the bet because there are tiny flurries falling." Heehee, I am ruthless and tiny or not, I will say , "Yep, I won!" He was very glad he took his hat to school today because his little head would have frozen off if he hadn't. I have to laugh because when I was freezing cold in Mexico nobody seemed to have any sympathy on me! So, now who is laughing? ME!! Just had to share! Love to you all!

Out of the loop!
Hi friends! I know I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. I just have been out of the loop, I guess. I was going to post pictures on Valentine's Day and say "Happy Valentine's Day" and then got busy doing other things and it simply never happened. I must say Greg's schedule this semester has been a little harder to juggle, but we are managing. It is funny how many days I long for our life in the village. We never left in our car, sometimes I didn't see him for hours at a time, but that was only because he was across the street telling Bible stories. We definitely are starting to long for a slower pace. Running here and there can wear you out! I don't know how American families keep from getting completely stressed out all the time. I really don't!
I am going to be saying Psalm 46:10 over and over.... "Be still and know that I am God...." This Psalm is so perfect for our world today. As there is still such devastation in the world it is really nice to know this was written for us long ago, knowing that we would need it today for encouragement! I have still been checking our friend's blog~ http://haitirescuecenter.wordpress.com/ it shows of the apparent devastation that is all around Haiti. I hurt for people. I don't know why I see things on tv and just cry, I really don't know, but my heart is broken for people. I don't like to see starvation, or sad, lost eyes, I don't like to see abuse, or just people who are lonely. I am by nature an encourager. That is what I do. I encourage. I love it, it makes me happy. My problem is I don't have enough time to do that to all the people in the world. So... I will do my best to every day, get up and make the lives of the people I touch seem better by some way of encouragement. Cuz.... I really do love people. Every color, every kind, every shape, every make, model, brand.. whatever...... I was made for one reason.... to love people with the love of Jesus. That is my belated "Happy Valentines!" to all of you! So, if I see you, I will try to love on you like Jesus would!! Give yourself a great big hug from me today, and know He loves you way more than me!
Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Selah ( Selah means pause and think ~ Just thought some of you may be dumb like me! )
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. 6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. 7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire. 10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." 11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Not such a good, good night!
Well.....there are 3 very sad boys at my house right now. My little Alex took this loss as if he was Peyton Manning. Greg looked at the bright side and said, "Well, I guess this will save us some money cause now I won't have to buy us all Superbowl Champs sweatshirts." Such an optimist, you just gotta love him! So, I am leaving my Annie's picture up, cause win or lose we are still Colts fans, but we do want to congratulate all of the Saints fans on a great win! Love you all!! Missy
Go Colts!!
Alex can't wait, and Annie does whateve Alex does!
Sanders and Addai are favorites but of course we love Manning too!!
Jerod was too busy to be included in the photo shoot, but I will try to get some of him tonight!
Greg woke up singing, "Tonight's gonna be a good, good night!" We have been invited to many football events and have declined on them all. It is all about the 5 of us sitting in our apartment watching our television by ourselves. Greg would have it NO other way! He wants to be completely focused! Our menu is Chili dogs, 5 layer bean dip with chips, and a fruit pizza. Nothing flashy but that is what they wanted! :o) So.... GO COLTS!! Love to you all! Missy
