This is the only way it would let me post :(

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.

Awesome church family

We left an awesome church family in Easley, SC and moved to IN and found out they are awesome as well. I requested prayer Wed. night about Preston's medication and not having medicaid, and they rallied to help us. We ended up getting a big food pounding and over $100 in cash. Isn't that amazing? I have more food than I do cabinets now! Thank you all soooo much!

Wed. p.m. we had a wonderful prayer meeting. God came and it was such a wonderful time of prayer for needs. I was so discouraged over this medication. We bought 17 pills for Preston and it cost $85. Another of his expensive medication is running out this week. But we go to the clinic on Tues. and will see what they can do to help us. Please pray they can give him the meds. until we get medicaid. Anyhow, Bro. Steve Gardner handed out paper at the prayer meeting and people gave a lot of requests and we wrote a lot of them down so we could use the list in our devotions. He was so passionate about each request; it was so refreshing! Then Bro. Mowery asked if anyone wanted to pray at the altar for our needs; and many went up front and prayed. It was close to 9 p.m. before we got out of the service. But it was so worth it.

Just had to brag on our new church and how they have helped us. Jody Johnson told me that the Lord didn't bring us up here to forsake us now! How true that is. Missie is doing so well and loving school. I know it was God's will so we just have to trust Him!
