Life Changing Events
Since I have last written, I have seen so many pictures from the hurricane Ike and what it did to pretty much all of the lands that we know. My home town is basically gone, and the beach we were thinking of buying a house on, well, all but one house is gone, along with most of the beach. Everything I read and hear makes me heartsick. I have no idea how this will turn out. People will continue to rebuild and do everything they can do. This really brings the fact that lives can change in an instant. There are site set up to donate to the cities on the Gulf coast and Bridge City areas. If nothing else , prayer is what everyone really needs. They need God's grace to get through this mess. I wish I could make things better, or at least go back to the way they were pre Ike. But I can't do any of that so I will do what I can for those I know and some I don't know. I hope this is the last storm for the year. Winter is coming and I am worried about these people, especially the one who have nowhere to go. The elderly and the young. I pray that God will look kindly on them and have mercy.

New adventures in our travels
Well, it's been awhile. Hmm... where do I begin? We have been to Florida, Illinois and now Tennessee. We got to go home for about a week between jobs and got a new truck and an RV. Now no more motels for long term stays. I got the pleasure of driving this big ol' thing up from Texas, and it was an interesting ride. Then we got to the campground and Sue (one of the owners) helped me to back it into a slot, or whatever that slip is that we are in. Anyway, I actually did it and didn't even run over a toe or hit a tree or anything! I love it when things go just right, don't you?
We are enjoying the campground and have met some nice folks along the way. I will take my camera next time we go, I forgot it when we went to Jonesboro, but I'll go back. Well I'm off to the next adventure. I'll be writing more later.

My Chick's are called out
John 10:27 "My Sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
Yes I missed little Judah's 1st birthday, but the pictures on Heather's blog are adorable. The time has come for my little chicks to be called out into the field. Though I have mixed feelings, I am so excited that God has chosen to use them. They are a wonderful sight to watch. They grow and praise God have helped me with my growth and walk with God. So we will be with them and talk to them as much as we can while they are still in the states, and I pray that God will see fit to allow me and Rod to go see them wherever they are placed. Even though the mother in me is holding on to them, the christian sister in me is ecstatic that the IMB has called them. All things will work out to His glory and in His time.He is moving us around and keeping me out of a comfort zone, you who know me know that I tend to curl up and get comfy in one. He knows that in order for me to continue to grow I must be "stirred up", lol. We are fixing to be on our way to Illinois for a month, I will go to Kentucky and Rod will also when he can. We are hoping to take the grand-daughters to Illinois for a bit. We should be on the road for 3 months, so pray for us. I am getting some mentoring on discipleship, I need it. I thank my Lord for placing people in my life who know more about Him, and how to share Him with others. On another subject, we must go and get Benji, I am sure he is tired of the doggy hotel, but it has been a restful day. Bella is so quiet , I hardly know she is here until she gently nugges my foot to be picked up. So on with my day. We will soon have stories of the road. Until then, God bless and keep you all.
