Welcome to our site!

This year is flying by, isn't it?! Summer is almost to an end and school about to begin. Kris and I wanted to start this site to keep our friends and family updated with our crazy lives. As everyone knows, we've had a new addition to the family. Little MacyJo is seven months old now and just as beautiful as ever. She's sitting up, rolling over, ridin' momma's hip, laughin' at her daddy and lovin' her Bubba. Isaac will turn 6 in September, which is so hard to believe. I can barley wrap my mind around him starting public school this year. It's such a scary, yet exciting time. He is more than ready, and I'm more than NOT! My job is going good, still working those awful night shifts, but I'm hanging in there...say a prayer I'll get to day shift soon. I love working with my babies and momma's, it's very rewarding and I look forward to it every time I go to work. Kris is still the money man, he doesn't have any himself...lol, but can certainly help you open a checking account, apply for loans, credit cards, etc. The bank is good to him, and we are thankful. I hope everyone enjoys the blog. We will update monthly, maybe more if we're feeling froggy ;o). Here are some recent pics of us down at the river market watching ET...what a great movie!

How do you pray?

Kris & I recently had dinner with dear friends of ours who are missionaries in Indonesia. They are pictured with us here, and their names are James & Mona. It was refreshing to talk with such God centered folks that live for the King. I mean REALLY talk. And of course we ended the night with prayer, the longest prayer I've had in a while. Interesting enough, we didn't pray for our safety and security and all the warm and cozy things that most of us pray for daily. No, we prayed for God's will, whatever that may be...if it is His will that my car break down so that I can witness to the guy who helps me with the jump....then so be it, or if it is His will that I do get in that car accident that puts me into the hospital because the lady that I will be laying next to needs to hear the word....then so be it. Praying for Gods will is hard...and uncomfortable. But humbling. I now know of a whole different type of prayer. One that involves working for the kingdom, and not just for my pleasures and comforts. But I confess, I'm not very good at this yet. I mean, who wants to pray for something inconvenient to happen to them? Not me. However, it has to be me. It has to be me that says that prayer....because I'm here for Him.
