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.

November!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons! So far we are having an unusually warm fall. But I won't complain!

It is a month to be thankful. Yesterday in my prayer time I decided to not ask for anything; I decided to thank the Lord for all His many blessings. I will list a few!
I am so thankful for the Lord; and all he does for us! We are very blessed.

1. thankful that we are not homeless.
2. thankful for a wonderful husband.
3. thankful that Preston is not lying in the hospital suffering as he did in 2007.
4. thankful for such a wonderful, beautiful daughter that has a heart for God.
5. thankful for my mom and stepdad who have helped us in so many ways.
6. thankful for our church, and both of our pastors.
7. thankful for a christian school to send Missie to.
8. thankful that I never have to send my children to bed hungry.
9. thankful that the Lord gave Junior a good job right here in Frankfort.
10. thankful that I was raised in a Christian home, and in the holiness way.
11. thankful I never got out into sin, as a young person, but have served the Lord.
12. thankful for my good friend, Janet, who goes to church with me.
13. thankful for my internet friends; I have many!
14. thankful for God's strength when my strength has failed.
15. thankful for thrift stores (that is how we survive).
16. thankful for sunny days.
17. thankful for birds & butterflies.
18. thankful for a washing machine.
19. thankful that Missie has a nice bedroom here (she didn't in SC)
20. thankful that I never gave up on Preston, and he is still able to live with us.
21. thankful for good inlaws!
22. thankful for a cooking stove; I went weeks without one when we moved here.
23. thankful for a warm house when it is cold.
24. thankful for the free clinic where we can go and get our meds.
25. thankful there are people who care about us!

I could go on and on. But these are just a few.

Today Missie is home and Junior and I go to a parent/teacher conference at 10:40, so gotta get around and ready for our day. Junior likes his new job, we are so thankful for it. God is so good!

Have started Christmas shopping. Have to get most of Preston's off the internet and hope to do that soon. Mom sends us Christmas money so that helps a lot!

You all have a great day and count your blessings today!
