Happy 2009!

I hope each of you have a wonderful 2009! I am a bit skepical about this year, as most Christians are, due to the election. But one thing we must remember is: GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL! People have choices and many make the wrong choices. But we who know the Lord and do our best to live by His Word, and trust Him, can rely on Him to see us through whatever comes our way.

We are getting back to normal from the holidays. Our normal is somewhat different than other's, but it feels good to get back to our normal. Missie has been very sick. She spent a lot of her holidays in bed. First she had a horrible cold and used several boxes of kleenex, then got the stomach flu this week, and whenever a person with arthritis or fibro gets sick, it causes much more pain. She has been in tremendous pain. Thankfully, on Thurs. we go to the doctor. I have felt so bad for her; but she was glad she was sick when school is out so she didn't have to miss all this school.

I got some money for Christmas and got me a paint spinner! It makes wonderful backgrounds for cards! I am going to my creation blog and post some pictures of my latest cards using the paint spinner. I was so excited to get this! My card making keeps me sane!

Junior has worked for the pastor this week. But we are not sure how much longer he can work for him; as Bro. Mowery has 10 places that are NOT rented out right now. Please pray the Lord will send him some good renters. The apartment Junior is working on was trashed; it is so sad that people destroy other people's property. Junior is enjoying the remodelling. He was showing me what he did in the bathroom. I am so glad he is so talented, and can do most anything!

He plans to go to the temp. agencies one day and see about jobs; and see what is available, if anything. This coming week he has to be off to help me take both children to the doctor in Lebanon. I so wish we had a doctor in Frankfort. But none were here that would take medicaid; they were full up with medicaid patients.

So that is the latest! God is on His throne. A little later I will try to do a run down of our lives in 2008. It was a big year for us.
