TGIF

YES! It is Friday morning in American and I am blessed. Tomorrow morning a group from our church will be traveling to Arlington to attend our Pastors wedding and I am looking forward to the trip and the great fellowship we will have.Also for Bro.Neill to have his precious Linsdey here by his side as helpmate.Speaking of helpmates,I have the most amazing husband, Thank you Lord!!!
As for as application process we had another little hurdle come,but it's not too bad just will take a little time and patience. Rocky got a letter from passport people and has to apply for another birth certificate. I read something that Hudson Taylor said: It takes three things to be a missionary; patience and patience, and patience.

BRRRRR #2

Good morning to all. It is 15 degrees here this morning and there is a little white stuff on the ground. Rocky and I are chosing to go in a little late so that the roads will clear up some.

BRRRRRRRRR

It is so cold today and is sleating. I pray that it is not icy in the morning when all have to go to work. I have been planning the wednsday evening meal for our church. I am to cook for about 50 and I think that I am going to have Taco soup,corn bread,salad and desert. There is a lady that volunteered to bring a cake so I will make something sugar free for special diets.I will let you all know how it goes.

Passport

WOW! We checked the mail box on our way home from church and my passport was there. I applied 1 day after Rocky and got mine before him,but I am sure his is on the way.I got it back on the 11th day after I applied. That is pretty quick. It seems like my life may be about to take a change.

It has been a grand week ,but I am so glad that it is Friday!!!YEA!! I am tired from the week and I am ready to just kick back and rest.
I just registered for the Beth Moore study on Esther and I am excited about that.It has been a long time since the last one of hers that I have been involved in. I have been reading her blog and I really enjoy it.She is so very passionate about our Jesus!
Rocky and I received our travel plans for the week at Richmond in February and we are excited to see how Our Father will allow us to serve in futhering His kingdom.

I read a saying on another blog that has stayed with me all week and it goes like this:
"Life is too short and eternity too long to live for self."

January 18.2009

Today is Jan.18 in America and It is my special Granddaughters birthday and I have thought of her often today.She is 8 years old and OH! how those 8 years have flown by!!!!I am waiting for the day that I get to live down the street or even across town or even across the county from our grandchildren and that will probably never happen but I can dream!!!! OK Enough of that stuff! I am blessed!! God is so good!!

Steak

WOW! I now have that warm and comfy feeling.Supper was awesome! And I did not have to cook it or clean it up.The fellowship was grand.Rocky and I met a dear friend there and we were blessed to visit with her.She just happens to be the Chaplain at RJSJCC Brownwood.

I was able to talk to our beautiful little grandaughter this morning and got to tell her Happy Birthday even if she was on the other side of the world.Savannah is turning 8 years old.WOW!I also got to talk with Joy and that was great.

SOUTH BEACH

No I am not referring to a warm sandy beach,but a diet to lose unwanted pounds.I am wondering though how we can complain when we get to eat these kind of meals! WE CAN! Is off to the steak house tonite! We will try to be careful of those warm and comforting potatoes!!!

Graduation

Today was Graduation for some young ladies at TYC and it was a blessing to be allowed to celebrate and rejoice for their accomplishments. There were 4 High school Diplomas and 10 GEDS. I am so very proud of these girls.Some of them had family that were able to travel here and support them ,but there is always those that keep turning around and looking for their families and it is so sad when they are not there for them.

Hey

Well it has been awhile once again! I seem to have this feeling of anticipation. Which does not feel bad at all! We are excited to see what our Father has instore for us. We now have filed for a passport and we also have purchased luggage! It looks like we were serious when we said "Here we are , send us"
I have had two different friends to say words of affirmation to me this week. They have said you will be good at that.
Today was a great day at work.My co-workers bought me lunch and Esther made me a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with pecans for my birthday.It was delicious!!! It is pretty cold here today but not like up north at all!

Beautiful Family

It is so much fun to play with cousins!!

Ok It has been a way too long of a time since I have blogged.We have had to say good bye to our daughter ,son-inlaw and our precious granddaughter and grandson. They will be leaving the country tomorrow,but we have already had our goodbyes last week when they went to our son-in-laws family.well I am having a hard time writing so I will try again later.
