This is good!

Whom God chooses 

"When God wants to drill a man,

and thrill a man,

 and skill a man,

When God wants to mold man, 

to play the noblest part;

when He yearns with all his heart 

to create so great and bold a man, 

that all the world shall be amazed, 

watch his methods; 

watch his ways. 

How he (God) ruthlessly perfects when he royally elects! 

How He hammers him and hurts him and with mighty blows converts him into trial shapes of clay which only God understands;

 While his tortured heart is crying,

 And he lifts beseeching hands! 

How He bends but never breaks 

when His good He undertakes. 

How he uses whom he chooses,

 And with every purpose fuses him;

 But every act induces him 

to try His splendor out-- 

God knows what He's about!

Short update on Duplex

This window behind Kaitlyn is the North side living room, I like what they did with it. 

Remodel update on Duplex

Few pictures of the remodeling going on in the home here on our Church Campus we will be privileged to live in. 

So thankful for our dear Pastor and Church Family and Bro.Vance from Indiana, he has worked countless hours on this house for many weeks from several different trips he has made out here to help. 

Very humbling and very much appreciated that we will have a larger space for our family to live in while we serve Jesus in supporting this ministry, and stand along side those working hard to see this work go forward for His Glory.

New front door on North side, this pic was taken after just installed that day.

Will post another update soon, please continue to pray for the funds and helping hands needed to complete this project.

 We have many more waiting to be started and completed before our Church Camp in January, we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary Good Lords will. 

The Grounds are looking so beautiful thanks to Mark&Angel Preston, Mark has a great eye for landscaping and keeps everything looking so clean and lovely. 

Girls Day Out!!

I'm so grateful for The Good Lord helping me to make it out to one store with the Girls and Mother, it has been a VERY LONG time ( several years) since I have been shopping with the Girls. 

My Mother graciously offered to tote me around and Shania gladly pushed me in the wheelchair. 

The Girls needed a few clothing items for a church camp coming up@my Mothers Church next month, they are the Children's  workers and are VERY excited for this opportunity to serve.

It was half price sale@GoodWill, Kaitlyn had a personal prayer answered, while looking through the clothing she found her dream formal princess style skirt for her 8th grade graduation. 

To say she was excited is beyond words!!

They also found 2 formal skirts that matched perfectly to make her a satin wrap to go with the outfit 

(and many other items) 

Kelsey said she would make it for her. 

To purchase the material by the yard would cost around $4.99 per yard, these skirts were only $2.50 each!! 

Great deal is an under statement, as we will get about 4-5 yards each skirt!! 

The skirts are in perfect condition and very expensive at full price, what's the saying?

 One mans junk another mans treasure?!!??! 

She looks beautiful in it and it makes her look so grown up, I can't believe our baby will graduate 8th grade in May. 

I was very tired out and yes in pain but meds and the wheelchair sure helped, and was more than ready to call it a day after a few hours but oh, it was SO very worth it!!

Here are a few pictures from our afternoon out together. 

Youth Rally

In no particular order, a few pics from the Rally!! Was a great night, really enjoyed seeing everyone and making new friends as well! =)
