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.

It's Friday!

Missie is so glad it is Friday! We have been in revival since Tues. night and she is wore out from school, and going to revival every night. But she does not want to miss a night. Junior and I have been taking turns going. John Parker, from our home church in SC is the evangelist! He is Missie's "mentor" so to speak and her "hero." I am so glad there are still some godly people for her to look up too!

We are very proud of Missie. She made the A honor roll, had the highest grade point average for her grade, and her and Ray tied for the most number of paces completed for the quarter! She is doing so well. School is EXACTLY what she needed. And you know what? John preached Tues. night that just because you have "storms" in your life, doesn't mean you are out of God's will. That made me feel so good. Because I think some people think we made a big mistake by moving up here. But Missie is so happy; and we needed to have her in a holiness school. God opened all the doors, and here we are; so all we can do now is trust Him to provide everything we need. He is on His throne. We ended up getting $360 in love offerings in the last 2 weeks. God is so faithful.

Preston had a good cry last night. We think John being up here might have helped him to realize how homesick he was. He cried and cried and begged us to move back to SC. He said he was going to see if John would give him a ride back to SC. He was also worried because of the problem of getting doctors for him; but that is working out. It has just been harder than we expected to get all the medical stuff worked out in IN. Missie went to the dr. about her arthritis. He is getting rest of records from SC and go from there. And hopefully he can help us get a rhumatoid specialist for her.

Junior and I are getting our medications from the Open Door Clinic, which is free for people without insurance, and some of the meds. come from the companies who make them, so we are so thankful for that!

Junior has worked 3 days this week for Mike. We are so thankful for every day he can work. We just live from week to week, trusting God to supply our needs.

So I guess that is it for this time! Keep praying for us, please!

We are very glad you're a part of "our" church! Tell Preston it just wouldn't be right for him to move back to SC since we have a "reserved" seat for him every service : )
