The Lord is good...

I hope this finds you all doing well... I am still here! I guess the only time I find time to sit down and write is when my baby, Jeremy or I one is sick! You got it! I tell you --- I guess we don't wash off enough of the fellowship from church off of our hands!! Ha Ha! I have been sick for several days.... It started when I woke up hot and then it turned into sinus junk! I haven't felt well in days. Jeremy has problems off and on anyway with his throat because he uses his vocal cords so much anyway preaching but this weather is something else in AR. Hot and humid one day, Raining and cold the next. You just never know.. My baby is coughing, sneezing, running a low grade temp. I took him in today and he has a cold virus. Sad part, we were supposed to leave town tomorrow morning for three weeks.Jeremy is in a campmeeting in Alabama this next week starting on Sunday. We leave there on Thursday of next week and go to Ohio for 9 days where he will preach another campmeeting. Once leaving Ohio we are going on vacation to Niagra Falls and Maine. My parents are coming to Ohio for the last part of our services there and then going on vacation with us. I am so excited. Just praying for the Lord to heal our bodies.


My baby is getting so big. He is now 16 lbs and 6 oz... he is 27 inches long! He is precious ??? Haven't I said that before a million times ??? He is !!! I never knew what being a mommy was like but he has my heart let me tell you !! God has been so good to us. Piercen is such a joy! Believe it or not he is babbling mommy, rolling over, adores his bath, loves slobber all over his piggies, and never meets a stranger! Anywhere we go people are telling us how beautiful he is. It makes a mommy so proud! We were out eating the other day and a lady walks up to us as I am holding him sitting with Jeremy talking and says to us "He is your first isn't he?" I replied "Yes Maam he is".... she said "I can tell by the glow on your face and the joy you express!" It made my heart smile! Not only do I know the love we have for him, he knows the love we have for him and others can see it as well. This made me think of how Christ wants us to feel about him. He loves us so as we do him when he is in our hearts. We should be so full of joy that we over flow so that others can see the one who lives within us! Every day I am reminded of the love he has for his children. I never understood his love in its entirety until having Piercen. I believe that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. My heavenly father waited to give me a son until he knew I was ready. Until my heart was ready to accept all that he had for me in this journey of motherhood. I am telling you, my heart is overflowing! My father loves me THIS much ? YES he sure does!


While I am bragging on God, I'd like to share what the Lord did for our family this week. My husband is an evangelist as you all know so he travels alot. For the most part he flies alot but he also drives alot of miles. His car has really been racking up the miles the busier he is. We always drive his car to minister because we know that come the end of the year it is nothing to put 65,000 plus on a car! He was hitting 300,000 and would have exceeded 75,000 this year easily. His car was in decent condition but we knew we were going to need do purchase another one shortly. The prissy thing I am I wanted an SUV badly but God had other plans. We began to pray about it and it wasn't a week before he delt with us that we couldn't go into debt. I have my car which is in excellent condition and I love my Impala and it is almost paid for and that is the way the Lord wants us to live - debt free! We have found over the years that being in the will of God is much greater than any desire of our heart. Especially materialistic! God gave us a van this week! Yes he did.. it has 60,000 miles on it. A 2003 Astro. Its so pretty and its paid for!!! A man from KS obeyed the Lord when he asked him to purchase this van for us. It has so much room and its perfect. I am telling you, I can't brag on the Lord enough! He has been so good to me. If he never answered another prayer, if he never healed another sickness I have, if he never did another thing for me -- he has been so good to me I better continue to serve him with everything I have!


I was blessed to be able to spend a night out with my girlfriends last weekend. I really try to do this once a month. I have been friends with these girls since school and its such a blessing to me to still have them in my FRONT ROW! I heard Amanda say that one time and I loved it! I have some of the greatest friends ever. I am a firm believer than qaulity is far better than qauntity. My friends are my jewels!



I pray that you are all doing well and your families are happy and healthy!! I've been reading your blogs from time to time.. I haven't forgotten you! I've not been online alot to blog but please forgive me. I am literally trying to soak up life like a sponge and I don't want to miss a second with my baby boy. He is growing fast right before my eyes!God bless you my friends! The Lord is good!
