It's Monday! This is going to be a busy week.
Tomorrow night we start revival with Bro. Rowan Fay. He is an wonderful man! He loves to say "Wow" and I like that word too, lol.
Junior went for job interview on Friday. This afternoon he goes to take some tests. It looks like he will get this job, and it is here in Frankfort!!! He starts off at $2/more per hour than where he is now, and we will save about $35/week in gas! We have been praying he could get a better job! He will be running 3 machines, and working 3-11. Missie won't get to see him during the week, when she is in school. But maybe later he can get on days, after he has been there for a while.
Missie has decided, with our permission, to join her school's volleyball team. So she was trying to make some money to buy her uniform. She was asked to babysit on Friday evening and then she babysit on Sat. for the photographers of a wedding that took place at our church. She made a good amt. of money. She bought some minutes for her phone, knee pads for volleyball and this evening we will order her shirt. She is excited! She is working hard on her paces, and I am so thankful she is so smart and studious! She is very happy with her new boyfriend and loves spending time talking to him, either by phone or on instant messanger. He will be flying in, in 10 days! They are both very excited.
I just have to share what James said to me last night. I am not bragging when I say this; but I have put a lot of prayer and effort into teaching my daughter how to be a godly young woman. James told me last night what a good job we have done with our daughter and he said, "Thank you." That was soooo uplifting and amazing to me. For him to thank me, it really touched me. That makes all the time and effort worthwhile. I am proud of our daughter too; and Junior has surely helped in the making of the young lady that she is. We have so wanted a young man like James when it was time for our daughter to court! It is so wonderful how God brought them together when they both needed someone! God is faithful.
Last week was a hard week. I was in a lot of pain and lost a lot of sleep. Some nights I just can't sleep. Anyhow, I was kind of down. Well, our pastor has had hip replacement, and last night was his first time to open the service since surgery. He just lightens the whole atmosphere. Well, He was telling us that our congregation has 12 preachers in it and my friend sitting beside me, said loudly, "Awesome." Well, Pastor Johnson had preached about the awesomeness of God and made a statement that the word awesome should probably only be used when referring to God. So without even thinking, I looked at Janet and said, "Only God is awesome." Well, all those who heard me cracked up and we had a good laugh. I told Junior it was worth it to go to church to have a good laugh (there were more laughs as well) as I really needed that. What a wonderful church we have.
Pastor Johnson preached last night about when we are storms in our life that we need God's people and not to hide ourselves away and withdraw from people. Well, I do that. Depression causes a person to not want to be around a lot of people, especially when you are in a period of depression. But I do need God's people. I just have felt the last few years that I really didn't have energy to put into friendship. I feel spread so thin emotionally sometimes. But I am going to try and do better about this. He mentioned doing something nice for someone else when you feel down. So I am gonna try and do that!
You all have a good week!

More news!
We had the most awesome prayer meeting ever! Bro. Travis did the lesson on prayer (how to pray) using A C T S tonight.
A - Adoration - scriptures were read, a song of adoration sang, someone led in a prayer of adoration, then testimonies of adoration were given.
C - Confession - scriptures on confession were read; we sang "Cleanse me, O God." we all got on our knees and confessed to God where we needed help; then if anyone wanted to confess publicly, they did!
T - Thanksgiving - scriptures on thanksgiving were read, song was sung, prayer of Thanksgiving was prayed, then testimonies of thanksgiving.
S - Supplication - scriptures read, song sang, prayer requests given, we all knelt and prayed for the needs of our people!
It was such a heart warming time; God's presence was there; I was truly blessed. We start revival next week, so we are getting prepared as a church.
More breaking news:::: James is flying in on Sept. 10th and stay until the 14th. He called Junior last night and talked to him about liking Missie and wanting to get to know her better. We are very impressed with this young man. But Junior and I felt they needed to meet in person before they get more emotionally involved. So! Needless to say, they are both very excited. I am sure their feet won't hit the ground for a while, lol. We are going to take him to UBC to see the campus and all while he is here, as he is graduating in Dec. and planning to go to UBC in January.
His mom called me this a.m. We had a nice long visit. We feel God has brought James and Missie together. It is truly amazing how they met on facebook by accident, but God makes no mistakes. Missie has grown so much spiritually since we have moved here and physically. She is a young lady now and it is so hard to believe! She is a strong and loving girl. We are very proud of her and her zeal to serve the Lord.
So wanted to update for those who are not on facebook.

Back to School!
Well, Missie had her 1st full day of school today, for the school year of 09-10! She is happy going to school. I am happy for her!
Well, we got the news today that the anxiety medication that Preston takes is no longer being made in name brand. The generic doesn't work as well for him. But lately he has been telling me he is so nervous even with the buspar so I guess it is time for a change anyhow. The pharmacy called the psychiatrist and told him but I am going to call him myself tomorrow and ask what we can try instead of the buspar. He does have xanex but not sure if the dr. wants him to take it full time or not. So we have to switch meds. and also the coming of the fall is always hard for mentally ill people. That is why I dread the holidays every year! It is much better than it used to be before his shunt got fixed, but it is still a bit stressful!
Well, Missie had a new friend! They met by accident on facebook. Apparently there is another Watson girl whose name is Missy (spelled with y) and James found her and thought she was someone else. Well, they got to talking and talking and talking and today he told her he is interested in her and wants to get to know her. She is so excited. He is 17, will be 18 in Oct., striving to end his senior year of homeschooling by the end of December and coming to Union Bible College for the 2nd semester. The first day they talked they discussed their beliefs and they agreed! And the fact that Missie doesn't dress immodestly attracted him as well. It pays to not let your daughter wear every fad and fashion that comes out. I have taught her modesty and a lot of the modern day clothes even in the holiness churches are not modest. If you bend over and people can see down your shirt and see things that aren't to be seen; that is not modest. I will get off the soapbox now. But a good spiritual guy wants a good spiritual girl with the same values as he has. Anyhow, he is Bible Missionary and his family is friends with some people from Bible Missionary that we have known for years! It really is a small world. But I was praying for someone to come into Missie's life. This summer was a hard experience for her in the fact someone showed interest and said all the right things, but when it came down to it, told her he only liked her like a big brother would. So that was hurtful, but God knew what He was doing. I really hated that Missie had to go through that experience at the age of 15. I could say a lot here, but I won't. I pray for him daily, and have no ill will against him. But James is just what she needed right now! The big problem is there is 2 hr. difference in the time. They are 2 hours behind us, so that is hard at night. But they get to talk when she gets in from school and throughout the evening. They are getting to know each other, and will have more time together when he gets to UBC, for sure!
Junior's hours have changed from 7-3:30 to 8-4:30, I like it better him getting off at 3:30. But we are still praying he will get the job here in town where he has applied. God knows all about it. We have to have more income. My having to work in the evenings, if I have to, only complicates our lives even more and causes Preston anxiety. I just couldn't do it every night! But I am taking what jobs I can get on a part time basis. I also hope he has a local job before winter.
So that is the latest! Will post a picture of Missie's fair-haired boyfriend!

Tomorrow is school!
Missie starts school tomorrow at 9 a.m. and goes until 12. She is happy, and excited! She misses being with her friends during the summer. But she did attend 3 youth camps so this has been a good summer for her. She got sanctified this summer, too. She said it has made it so much easier for her to mind the Lord, since she has been sanctified. We are so thankful for such a special daughter. She is on her way to being 16 years old; it is hard to believe. She has been through a lot of trials, but last night the Lord met with her in personal devotions and she said she realizes how easy she has had it. What a blessing she is! She is growing up much too quickly. It is hard to believe she is going into 10th grade. Soon she will be graduating from high school, and what a sad/happy time that will be. Pray for her this school year; she will have a heavy load. She did so well last year and got so much accomplished!
Preston is doing well. He hasn't ridden his bike this week because of the heat/humidity. But he is doing well otherwise. He has been fishing on his computer, and catching lots of fish!
Yesterday was a wild day around here. We were able to help some people have a good laugh, who needed it, and you all know that laughter is the best medicine! I will tell you what all happened.
1. When I went to pull the mini blinds up in the kitchen which I do every a.m. because I love as much light coming in as possible, the one fell and broke. Thye end of the top piece broke completely off!
2. I decided to clean the window the big air conditioner was in. I know, I had a blond moment, Missie said. I folded the window in and washed it, so far so good, but when I went to fold it back up to close it, the air conditioner flew out of the window. I screamed for Missie and we were able to get it back into the window. But it was not working.
3. I fixed me an ice cream cone and on the way to put the waffle cones back in their place, I dropped the box and broke them all to pieces.
4. While putting away clean dishes, I dropped a big knife on my foot.
5. While ironing, I burnt my hand, not bad, just hurt at the moment.
6. I turned the oven on to cook, and when I went to put the food in, it was not working. None of the burners were working either. We have gas. So I wondered if they had turned our gas off, couldn't imagine that as I just made a payment a couple of days ago, come to find out, the plug wasn't in good in the wall. So I had to start all over pre-heating the oven to cook corn muffins and brownies.
7. While we were eating, I picked up Preston's fan to move it so I could get some air and something happened to it and a piece came off and was flying around inside the fan and I had to turn it off.
8. While we were eating, I got choked on some corn muffin.
Now Missie sent a text to one of her friend before #6, 7, 8 and told him what had happened and he wrote back all worried and asked if I had cut myself and if I was ok. Well, this struck us funny and Missie laughed until she cried, and I laughed as well. I was thankful he at least was concerned about me! LOL
Well, at the supper table when the stuff happened to me, she once again laughed until she cried, and Junior and Preston were laughing too! Then we put it on facebook, and gave some people some laughs that needed a good laugh. So it was all worth it.
Update on the above situation: Jr. fixed the air conditioner, thank the Lord, it was our best one and cost us $250 last year. It was just the fan had gotten stuck! I taped the blind and have it up temporarily. I didn't cut myself, nor burn myself real bad, thank the Lord. Jr. was also able to fix the fan and it is working fine. The choking wasn't nigh unto death, so all is well! LOL
Then we went to church last night (Missie wasn't sure if she should ride with me) and I wasn't sure if I should drive even the few blocks to church. But we made it safe and half way through service our assistant pastor said there was a tornado coming and he had men watching the doors. Well, I knew if we did get one and I couldn't get home right away that Preston would be upset, and I always want to be with my family if something like this happens. I told Missie I would rather die with Junior than be safe and not with him. She seemed to understand my reasoning. Someday she will fully understand :) So we came home early, and didn't get a tornado, thank the Lord, just a thunderstorm and some much needed rain. Then when I was getting Preston's meds. ready for him to go to bed I realized I had forgotten to go to the pharmacy and get one of his meds. and he was totally out. So Missie and I got dressed and away we went to CVS. But around midnight, God met with Missie and blessed her and showed her some things and it was so wonderful! So all in all, it was a WONDERFUL day because God was with us. If your life is dull and boring, come stay with us for a few days and you will be glad to go back to your dull boring life.
Junior got a call from a temp. agencey about a job. We thought maybe this was a GOOD job, but needless to say, it wasn't. It was a warehouse job where he would make $8/hr. I don't think so! He is making more than that now, even though he has to drive. We will keep praying and trusting the Lord to open up a better job closer to home!
So that is a day in the life of the Watsons!

52 years old!
Well, today is my birthday, I am 52. It is hard to believe I am 52. Time passes so quickly. i was able to sit down and relax today and made 7 simple flower and hummingbird cards which are pictured on my Norma's Creations blog. I had a wonderful chocolate cake for my birthday and chocolate chip ice cream!
Missie has been helping me clean for the fall. She has done the kitchen except for the 2 little windows. We plan to start on our bedroom tomorrow. Soon she will be back in school so i am getting it done early while she is here to help me.
It has been hotter again this week. But overall it has been a much milder summer here than it was in SC. It is drier here, too. I am glad, since we don't have central air, but window units. We stay reasonably cool with the window units.
Please remember Junior's Grandma Holland. She was found on her apartment floor. She has been in hospital, but cannot eat or talk, etc. They did a CT scan but can't see where she had a stroke. They think it is just old age. She was moved to rehab today to see if they can teach her to talk, eat, etc. again. We are not sure if she will ever be able to live alone again. She is such a sweet person! I wish Junior could go and see her but we don't see any way. She is in VA. He spent a lot of time with his grandparents when he was little, and has been close to her.
Not much other news today! You all have a good rest of the week.

29 years!
Well, this is our 29th anniversary weekend. Tomorrow we will have been married for 29 years. It doesn't seem possible. A lot has happened during those 29 years but this I can say: "We are still in love." I am so thankful for that! God is so good. We committed our lives to each other on Aug. 9, 1980 and we are still committed to each other and the Lord.
For our anniversary we couldn't do a whole lot. But we did go to LaFayette by ourselves, relaxed by looking in a few stores, and then ate at Dairy Queen. It was enough for us to just be together alone. We really would like to spend a night away soon but money is a big issue. So I am happy we just got to go out alone today. Missie vacuumed, swept, finished washing/drying/folding laundry and hung up all the clothes that needed to be hung up. She put away all clean dishes and washed what few dishes there were to wash. It was her gift to us for our anniversary. And she stayed with Preston. So it is nice they are old enough that at least we can go away for a few hours alone.
Missie is very ready to go back to school! Her school starts on 21st, for 1/2 day then the next week it will be in full swing. She gets lonely here at home. She has attended 3 youth camps this summer which she really enjoyed. She enjoys texting friends every day, watching dvds, and reading. And she is helping me do my fall cleaning. Yesterday she worked for 2 different people for 7 hrs. babysitting, and made $62. She was so thrilled and used her money to buy a new phone that would send pictures. Her other phone quit sending and receiving pictures. Her and Jared wanted to send pictures and couldn't. So now they can, and she is very happy about that. He is still one of her bestest friends! He will be going back to Penn View this month also, and continue in the ministerial course there. They have a good, close friendship. She needs that. She also has her friend in SC, Kellie and they both have AT&T so they talk, and then she has friends here. She is so happy here in IN. Friday night was a end of summer youth party and also a send off party of one of the youth who has left to attend Hobe Sound Bible College. It was a great party at the Wilhelm's farm and she had a blast.
Junior has put in an application to work at a place here in town but it is 2nd or 3rd shift. He is going to try for 2nd shift to start off with. He will make over $2/hr. more and not have to drive so far. We pray if it is God's will he can get this job. We cannot keep living on what we bring in now. I am going to have to get a job in the evenings or something to supplement our income. We only have one vehicle, so that makes it hard too. We cannot afford another vehicle right now. I wish we didn't have payments on this van; we could do a little better if we didn't have the van payment. But we have to have 1 vehicle. He is working right now 40 hrs/week at the warehouse. It is better than nothing, but not enough income. Even with Preston's check we cannot make it. But God knows all about it. He will have to work it all out.
Preston is doing great! He is happy here. When it is not too hot, he rides his bike. He loves our church and has a lot of friends there. He is pretty well recovered from this last illness and the infection in his brain. I still have to give him his showers, but he is not real steady on his feet to get in the tub alone. We have a shower chair so that helps a lot. So we are hoping and praying this shunt will do good for many many years. We sure don't want him or us to go through what he did in 2007.
So I guess that is the latest for now!

Junior has put in an application to work at a place here in town but it is 2nd or 3rd shift. He is going to try for 2nd shift to start off with. He will make over $2/hr. more and not have to drive so far. We pray if it is God's will he can get this job. We cannot keep living on what we bring in now. I am going to have to get a job in the evenings or something to supplement our income. We only have one vehicle, so that makes it hard too. We cannot afford another vehicle right now. I wish we didn't have payments on this van; we could do a little better if we didn't have the van payment. But we have to have 1 vehicle. He is working right now 40 hrs/week at the warehouse. It is better than nothing, but not enough income. Even with Preston's check we cannot make it. But God knows all about it. He will have to work it all out.
Preston is doing great! He is happy here. When it is not too hot, he rides his bike. He loves our church and has a lot of friends there. He is pretty well recovered from this last illness and the infection in his brain. I still have to give him his showers, but he is not real steady on his feet to get in the tub alone. We have a shower chair so that helps a lot. So we are hoping and praying this shunt will do good for many many years. We sure don't want him or us to go through what he did in 2007.
So I guess that is the latest for now!
