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.

Wow!

It's almost July 1st! Where is the summer going? School will soon be starting. We are not ready but God will provide.

Missie is once again at youth camp. Her teen pastor is the evangelist. She loves these youth camps! I am so glad for the privilege she has to attend. Someone came to our home and gave her the entire amt. of money she needed to go! God is so faithful. She is growing up so fast. She is our sunshine, in sometimes our dark world. Everything in her life is an adventure; and it is so refreshing! She can turn the simpliest things into fun! I miss her when she is gone. But I am so happy she has a heart to serve the Lord, and she said she wants a godly young man! I have encouraged her to settle for nothing less than that in her life, as she grows up! She is more mature than a lot of kids her age; I think the hardships with Preston's illnesses, has caused her to grow up faster. She has a heart for people and their problems. God will use her I know in the future. She has 3 years of high school left so I know I will have her at least 3 more years, thank the Lord!!!

Our van is needing some work. Junior has already replaced the front brakes and found something broken that has to be repaired. And he thinks we need a new battery too. So thankful he can do the repairs. We also will soon need at least 2 tires.
I am so thankful he has a job right now. But money still isn't plentiful. But God always supplies our needs.

Preston is doing great. He was outside most of the day yesterday. It isn't as hot this week and he was riding his bike for about 5 hrs. Then he sat in his swing. Junior took him to his new psychiatrist here in town, and Preston really liked him. He asked Preston a lot of questions of course and one of them was, "Do you ever feel unloved by your family?" Preston told him no he didn't, he knew he was loved. I thought that was sweet. The new dr. gave him an extra medication for stress, but so far he hasn't had to take even one of them.

I looked out my front window earlier and lo and behold, someone had planted 4 tomato plants in buckets for us and left them on our porch. We have so overwhelmed at the kindness of the Frankfort church people. It is amazing!!! It never seems to end. God is so faithful. I am so happy we are here in IN!

Campmeeting was last week (Midwest Pilgrims) and I received so much encouragement and help! I wish I could have gone every service, but couldn't, of course. But I was so blessed and encouraged. Then we had GBS group called "Faith" on Sunday a.m. and they blessed me so much too. I have listened to them every day so far from the archives. Those young people really knew the Lord and sang with the anointing. Tears flowed all over the church. Some of the lyrics were, "Over and over again God is faithful." "Hasn't He done enough, don't you think it's time we trust?" On and on I could go, but I was so encouraged. I guess you can tell that by now!

So wanted to check in with everyone.
