Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Monday

Well, it's Monday!

On Sat. evening, Jr. and I got his resume done, and posted it in the local paper in Frankfort, and on career builder. But Career Builder is using the current address and he is getting emails for jobs in Greenville. So I went in there and changed the address to the Frankfort address, hoping that will help. If not, I will have to go to career builder and start all over. Oh me! Anyhow, I got the names of some woodworking shops and am mailing out resumes to them tomorrow. So we are getting things on the road. The job is the main thing. People were getting very nervous about our moving without Jr. knowing if he would have a job. But Jr. has never had trouble getting a job. And we have moved before to pastor churches with his having no job and God always provided. But we are working on the job end of it. We hated to have to use any money to go up there early, but Jr. and Missie plan to go up in a couple of weeks unless he gets a job before there. If he can secure a job up there and tell them when we are coming to live, he won't have to go. That would be a big relief; so please pray he can secure a job over the internet and not have to go. Even if the house is small, it will do for a while. So the job is the main thing. Having a wonderful church and school is more important to us than having a fine home. Our desires are not for temporal things; but for the salvation of our children; and Missie being in a strong holiness church and school. That is our deepest desire! When you put God first, He will not fail you! So many have forgotten how to trust God and to pursue Him but it is our upmost desire to do this.

Missie went to a youth group with our church youth on Friday night and really enjoyed it. I went to a friend's birthday party, then to another friend's store and she and I talked and laughed and hung out until I picked Missie up. I love this lady and am trying to get her back to church. She has an unsaved husband and 5 children, and she is spiritually, emotionally, physically exhausted. And you know; many don't understand this, BUT I DO!!! I have recently been there, and I know how it is. After Preston's long illness and recovery I faced this and am still not completely over it. I still feel so hungry sometimes for an outpouring of God's spirit like I used to see when I was younger. Not being critical; but we need the Lord's presence to make it in this day and time. I long to see old time conviction; people slain under the power of God; shouts of victory, not wildfire, or working something up; but the true power of God. We need it like never before. Anyhow, I am just talking from my heart.

So prayers are much needed and appreciated especially about the job for Junior.

Thanks and I will keep you posted.

Norma,

I am confident that God will supply all your needs foe He promised to do it. Claim those promises and keep trusting Him. As we train up a child we know that our Children will never forget God's faithfulness. Our prayers are with you.
