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.

I have to share!

I can't help it, I have to share this.

"A man got up and testified that he was glad everyone wasn't like him, or EVERYONE would want his wife.

Another man got up and said he was glad everyone wasn't like him, or NO ONE would want that man's wife."

We heard this at prayermeeting and had a good laugh over it. Thank goodness for "light" moments in our lives. Laughter is the best medicine, for sure.

Well, things haven't changed much here except Junior may be getting a 2nd shift job, which we are not happy about. It will be from 3 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. and it is about 35miles from here, 4 days/week. I am praying the Lord will help him get a day shift job before they call him to this other job. But I have to leave it in God's hands; to work it all out. He definately needs a job, but 2nd shift will be hard on our family. Supper is our family meal, but it won't be possible with this new job. Now you all might think that is a small thing to worry about, in the light of his getting a job. To normal people it might be. But we are not normal, LOL. And you already knew that, didn't you! For Preston that would be a disaster. He has been brought up that supper time is very important; that we all eat together as a family. So it will be a big change for him to not have daddy home in the evenings. But God will have to provide the grace if Junior gets this job. I don't want him out in the wee hours. But I have had to put it in God's hands.

Hoping to hear tomorrow about the next step for Missie. Talked to Stacey the nurse earlier this evening, and she is to get back with me hopefully tomorrow. She has to have help. She deals with so much pain!

So I don't really have much news, but will update as soon as I know something about any of these situations.

Be happy and know that God DID give him this job! Nothing in live happens "just because"! God is still able to send a day shift job his way, but until then...rejoice and know that God has been faithful to your family and that He is still in control!
