Just a Few Words..

Well... Sermon on the Mount went GREAT... about 15 people asked for salvation and a lot of family and friends came. We were SO blessed to sit at the feet of such great people and just listen and learn this week. Blaze preached an amazing sermon... yes BLAZE! How exciting is that!! If you want to see pictures and hear more about this event I'll be updating Blazespage in a couple of days. Thank you for your prayers for this event!

I am 10 days away from being OUT of my first trimester!!!!! Still not showing, but I can feel a difference inside me. WHERE has time gone!!! I am eagerly looking forward to the return of my appetite!

And lastly.... =( we got our fingerprint appointment in the mail yesterday. It was an unexpected even that just made my heart sink... BUT overall I am rejoicing and still praying for unity and prosperity for our children's family. God's plan is always better than my own!

A "Blanket of Blessing" and Sermon on the Mount

Well... a couple of days ago when I rolled over on my belly... I could tell something was there!!!!! That was another great confirmation! =) Just thought I would share the news... that's the first time I ever felt a difference! Baby is about the size of a match box car now (from what I'm understanding and reading anyway). On the downside... I have officially been "sick" for the first time... please pray it's the last...



We were extremely blessed today as a lady at our church, who never knew us until we shared our testimony, has volunteered to make blankets and things for the nursery. She has a sewing business and felt God lead her to bless us in this way. We are just so touched and humbled by God's vast love and blessing in this situation. This wonderful lady prayed over us at the end of church today and just blessed us so much with encouragement. I just love when God's people bless each other in ways like this. Thank you Lord! May we be just as faithful.



On another note... we have a GREAT ministry coming to town this week in which I and my horse get the honor of being involved in. It's called Sermon On The Mount.

Lew Sterret is a horse trainer and a pastor. What he does is trains horses while doing a live sermon at the same time in front of an audience and comparing what he is doing with the horse to us and our lives and our relationship with the Lord. If you could PLEASE pray for this ministry, it would be a huge blessing. We're praying that people that do not know the Lord, but do know horses, will be touched and see God in a way they never have before. It will be this Tues, Weds, and Thurs. night at the Isabella County Fairgrounds from 5:30pm-8:00pm. Please come if you can...and bring friends... it's a free event! Thanks in advance for your prayers!!!

A BEAT WORTH KEEPING!!!

We heard the heart beat of our baby last week!! The awesome thing is it was 5 weeks earlier than our Dr. had ever remembered hearing a baby's heartbeat before! At first we couldn't hear anything... then our wonderful Dr. said a PRAYER (how COOL is that!!??) and immediately after we could hear a very faint heart beat and it got louder and louder!!!!!!



WOOOO HOOOOO there is REALLY a living human being INSIDE ME!!!!!!!!!!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
