Prayer & Pumpkins

By -

To start the post off, I'll give the update on what's going on with our Mission trip and our future afterwards. :) It's pretty exciting!!! We've been connected with an awesome church in Denver, North Carolina called Providence Church. Ben Rudolph is one of the Pastors there, and yes... he is another one of Ken Rudolph's sons. So thankful, glad and blessed we got "hooked up" with them at Lake Ann this past winter. What a blessing their family has been in helping us and guiding us! (Thanks Rudolph Family!)
So, our pastor, Ray Brandon, along with Ben & Rich think it'd be a great idea for us to have an internship before heading off for Germany. Now when I say before Germany, I don't mean before our mission trip, more like before we move and make it a 2 year thing. So we are looking to send Tim on a nice weekend trip to visit Ben & his church to see what we could do for them, and how it would all work out. Sounds like it'd be the perfect time to make this move, there are some other fun details that are still in the making and we're looking into. All in all the just of it is, we could be moving for this internship as soon as March 2013. WHOA! Talk about fast. It certainly is exciting tho!! We are very excited to see how Tim's trip goes in the next few weeks & what God has in store for us. 
So we are asking for prayer as we search for where God wants us. And prayer for wisdom and guidance & for us to have hearts of God's servants. 



 And now, for a quick update on our Fun Family night of carving pumpkins! 
You weren't sure what to expect but got into it once we got going...
looking so handsome and big! 

This was your "not so sure about this" face. :) You were kinda concerned that I was cutting the pumpkin up. 

But then realized there was work to be done - getting all the seeds out of the pumpkin. 


taking your job very seriously - making sure it was empty!! So cute! You certainly know how to make your mom and dad smile! 


helping me get your pumpkin face on the pumpkin ... 

All Done! The finished project. :) 

There's more to be updated ... but for now this will have to do! 
Love You Lots!!

There's No Place Like Home

This December marks the start of our 4th year in our old, cozy home. It's this time each year I begin to think of all the hard work that was put into making this old farmhouse our home. It took months of work, (mostly time of Grandpa Keith's), and lots of imagination. I remember when Daddy took me thru the first time, the place was SO dirty, run down, and in dire need of some TLC!! But the little details and charm of the place got to me and I knew we just HAD to live here!! It was perfect. I fell in love. It had so many “old” things and so much history to it; from the kitchen cabinets, to the door knobs, & who doesn't just LOVE the hand crafted cabinets?! And it wasn't just the house, it was the surroundings. The fields, farms, country way of life, and of course the location... so close to our families! Beautiful spring/fall flower collection  The wheat fields This is our road ... down by the river. BEAUTIFUL during sunset!  The beau...

{21.SEPT}

 This month was the beginning of a new season. While the younger two continued homeschooling, the older two boys began at one of our local primary schools. There were a lot of nerves and some hesitation, but after a week of it, they both found their feet and really have enjoyed learning along with new friends and teachers. September is kinda like a new year here in the UK - everyone's schedules begin again after a 6 weeks break, so it's a way to begin fresh. A lot started back up, somethings for the first time since Covid hit! So we are back to enjoying life at, almost, the same speed as 2019. Worship team is back in full swing, the kids' evening groups began back, and after school clubs are still getting going, but are slowly begin added to our calendar. But we have set out to be purposeful when adding to our calendar and have guarded our family night, our ministry nights in our neighborhood and our Sabbaths. It's taken a few weeks, but I feel we are slowly evening it ...

{21 - MARCH}

March came and went in a flash! Wow, I can't believe it's over already. It was a delightful month that helped usher in spring and more sunshine. We spent a lot of time working hard at home with school work and then celebrated our hard work with, you guessed it, outdoor adventures! And with great joy, in the last week of March, our Stay at Home orders were lifted and we were able to explore outside of our town. What fun that opens up. We also can now have one family over, outside ... so we were able to enjoy the last week of March with others and boy, oh boy, did that ever lift our spirits.  This kid broke me down and began his Kindergarten work this month!  So proud of his hard work and dedication  we've tried very hard to keep our dates with each kid a top priority.  This month I had a date with this little girl and we got some take out and went to the park.  The sun wasn't shining too much, and it was a bit chilly, but it was a joy to be out and alone with my ...
