Good Friday



This morning I awoke to my wonderful husband drawing me out of bed to the table where he had communion prepared. He read to Madyson and I the story of the crucifixion and prayed as we took communion, remembering the death and sacrifice of our amazing Lord, Jesus Christ. What a great way to start out the day. Attending Applegate Christian Fellowship for so many years spoils a person with a taste of such close fellowship with the Lord, and a constant reminder of what He has done, in taking communion so often. It is such a blessing to have a place to go where communion is offered on a daily basis. You only know what I mean if you have lived away from such a place for any amount of time. We miss it so much. This morning I was reminded though, that we could take it here at home whenever we choose. My dad made us a beautiful wooden communion tray for Christmas a couple years ago. It sits in our kitchen as if it was a decoration. What a shame! We could be taking communion more often at home. I'm gonna start. It's so important to constantly be reminded of the cross. I get so busy with life, I forget. I need to constantly refocus on Him, because if I don't, then I just end up doing everything in my own strength with my own goals in mind...I need Him. I need His strength and His plan. Thank You Jesus for what You did on the cross for me.

Try, Try Again...



"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Proverbs 24:16


Ok, so I have recently been inspired to pick up again and try to stay on top of this blog. Hopefully I am able to stay at it longer than the last time. :) We shall see.


So, the latest news is this...we are moving back to West Virginia after having been in Springfield, MO for almost seven months. There is sure a lot more "happening" in this town than where we lived last. However, the Lord calls us to WV once again. Tim already has a job waiting for him, installing satellite dishes for DirecTv. We have a rental waiting for us. We will be a couple doors down from Tim's sister Alyson and her little girl Abby, Madyson's beloved playmate. We leave here in about two weeks. We will soon see what the Lord has planned.

We'll Be Back!

Hello Everyone!
I am so sorry for not keeping up with this blog. I really mean to be on top of it, but...we are in the middle of getting a new computer (ours bit the dust), and getting internet again. Crazy. Hopefully everything is worked out SOON. Thanks for still checking in with us! I have tons of stories and pictures to share. Hopefully soon. God bless you all!
