We have been very busy traveling & doing what the Lord has called us to do. We LOVE it and are so honored that God would choose to use us, & let us spread HIS message through music & His word.
Tyler is still doing GREAT at school & is learning new and GREAT things EVERYDAY!! SO very proud of him & all that he has accomplished up to this point. Also thankful that God allows me to teach him & be apart of his everyday life of learning!!
Trevor seems to pick up on things right along with him & takes in more than we probably know. He is a JOY to have in our life and do not know how our lives would have been without him. Thank you Jesus for my family.
Today was a REAL treat for us. The church where we park had the "Strength Team" here at the school and the boys got to go in and watch and be a part. They saw them rip license plates in half, bend iron rods, and rip phone books etc. It was GREAT. The same team plus many more are gonna be at a church up the road tonight. So we are taking the boys to enjoy some more.
We have been doing good, and enjoying EVERYTHING the Lord brings our way. It is a JOY serving Jesus. When you put your JOY "Jesus-Others-You" into perspective then everything else really does seem to go quite well!! May the Lord DAILY help me do this!!
Thanks for the prayers as we travel on the roads. The boys as they travel right along with us & o their part in the service as well. May they always have the goal & desire to serve the Lord!! Thanks again for the prayers and GOD BLESS!

What a BLESSING!!
First of all I am SO sorry that I have taken so long to update my blog. We have been VERY busy doing meetings, CD work and have been blessed to go to some amusement parks while we have been down here in Florida.
My parents came down to visit my grandfather. And while they were here they took us to "Sea World", "Legoland", and "The Holyland Experience". We are SO blessed to have both my parents and to have been able to have time with them and be able to do such fun things. WE ARE BLESSED. And do NOT take this for granted. W got to make many NEW memories and the boys LOVE their MeMe and Paw Paw.
We look forward to doing our other meetings that God has booked for us while we are here. And the added bonus is to enjoy the AWESOME weather instead of the snow!! We have been enjoying the great weather. Setting out whenever we can and enjoying the boys play.
Tyler is doing great in school and learning very well. I am SO grateful that I can teach him. Go over scriptures that I would like instill in his heart, mind and life. He LOVES math and does VERY well in it!! He is such a great boy. Very sensitive to us and the things of the Lord. I have been LOVING the conversations that he has been having about the Lord, heaven & all the things that we have to look forward to.
Trevor listens right along with him and picks up WAY more than we know. He was trying the say the "pledges" with us the other day and didn't do to bad. :0) He is such a joy to have around and always makes us smile!
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to travel and do what the Lord has called us to do. We LOVE it and covet your prayers as we travel MANY late nights and EARLY mornings.
Thanks again for stopping by, take care and until next time......... GOD BLESS!!

Praising Jesus, Palm trees, Playgrounds!!!
We arrived in Florida last week to begin our journey of meetings here in the deep SOUTH!! YEE HAW!! We have had great meetings thus far & doing much of what my cover titled entailed!
We have been praising the Lord in song, enjoying the palm trees & the BEAUTIFUL weather & the boys have LOVED playing on the church's new playground set. We are a blessed people!
MUCH better than the snow & cold weather back home. Tyler LOVES to be able to have the church school kids to play with on his school breaks & some consistent nice church kids to call his "friends" for the next 2 months! I LOVE him being able to do this as well. We feel VERY blessed by God to be able to do what we Love to do. And have the option to come South during the Winter & give our kids the diversity.
Tyler is doing GREAT in his schooling. I am SO proud of him! He learns SO fast & is a VERY good boy/student. I am HONORED to be his teacher & blessed to be able to watch him grow & learn right before my very eyes!
Trevor is getting bigger EVERY day( BOO HOO!) . He too seems to learn & pick up on things VERY fast & learns some things right along with Tyler. He LOVES listening to music & is such a joy to our lives. The boys brings MUCH laughter to us & joy to our hearts. What a blessing to have them along side of us doing God's work. We are blessed!
Please keep us in your prayers as we are away during this time. For health, safety & God to bless & meet with us in EVERY meeting that He has allowed us to book.
Thanks for stopping by and we hope that you will stop by again real soon & see what we are/have been up to. Take care & God bless!

WOW!! Another year has come & gone!!
What a year it was! We definitely had our share of "stumps in the road"....A.k.a Trials!! But we can truly say that God was with us EVERY step of the way. Helping us through and took care of us through every need that we had. But, that is just how good MY GOD is!! How can one person do this for me and SO many others? BECAUSE HE IS GOD!! PRAISE THE LORD!!
We are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us this year and the ministry. We hope and pray that the Lord will use us now more than ever. To reach souls for HIS kingdom and encourage our fellow believers.
I will finish teaching Tyler first grade this year!! He is doing a WONDERFUL job and I am SO proud of him for how quickly he learns and how excited he gets when he learns something new!! He is one of my pride and joys that can always make me smile some way or another. SO thankful that the Lord gave him to me and that HE entrust him with/to me. What a job and responsibility.
Please keep us in your prayers as we travel this year and all the many late nights that we will be up. As well as our boys. We are thankful that they have such a sweet attitude thus far about traveling and singing songs to and about our Lord.
Thanks for stopping by and thank you so much for your prayers for us now and in this last year. There were many of times that I know it was God's people praying and the hand of the Lord that got us through. Keep it up faithful ones and let's ALL strive to serve our Lord more than ever in 2012! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Tis' The Season......
To go caroling, eat LOTS of homemade goodies, gather with friends & family, attend special events, EXTRA shopping, LOTS of hot cocoa and the list goes on and on!! I LOVE this time of year. I like Fall, but I LOVE Winter with CHRISTmas being the "main" event!
I enjoy being able to now share the "true" meaning of CHRISTmas with my little guys. What a great time to reflect upon our Saviours birth and the sweet little baby HE must have been. What an awesome & humbling thought to know that HE was born to one day die & pay the cost for our sins. So that we did not have to. OH WHAT A SAVIOUR!!
I heard a song the other day that shared the thought to this effect. That you wonder if the thought went across Mary's mind that she just wanted to enjoy this one night of Him being a little baby. Meek & mild, little innocent little child. Knowing that He would one day give His life had to bring tears of Joy & maybe a little sadness? WOW!!
Hope that we ALL take time to remember the TRUE meaning of CHRISTmas. As the saying goes...." JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON" and it is still true today.
I pray and hope that all of you have a GREAT CHRISTmas season & enjoy time with your friends & family. And don't forget to enjoy some "EXTRA" chocolate. CHRISTmas only come every......11 months! GO FOR IT!! HAHAHA! Have a GREAT week/month and God bless you all!

Kilts, bagpipes, shortbread, & tea!!
Well, that is what is in our future! I cannot believe that after talking about it for so long we will be heading BACK to Scotland in just 6 days. But, in counting like my boys. That comes out to just 5 sleeps! CRAZY! We are always SO busy that life just goes by WAY to fast.
Speaking of life going by fast. I was watching Trevor play today & could not believe how much he's grown & how big he is getting. I literally stepped back & watched him walk down the hallway & took in EVERYTHING that he was doing. Why you might ask? Because way to many times I do not and then you look up and you have a little MAN! Which is what I have learned from watching Tyler grow up & becoming so big & mature! He is something else! I LOVE my boys and HATE seeing them get so big. Wish I could make time stand still!
My parents are coming in this coming week to be with the boys while we are away. SO thankful that they can do this so the boys can be home in their own beds for a week! I know that they will have a GREAT time & be loved on ALL week. Thankful for them without a doubt!
We just finished a WONDERFUL meeting in Florida. To which we got to be a part of and witness 19 teens give their hearts and lives to CHRIST!! THIS is what it is ALL about! SO thankful that God still chooses to use me & can work through and old sinner saved by grace! THANK YOU JESUS! And you TOO can be used, just be really, ready and waiting! I pray & hope that I will ALWAYS be in that place for my LORD!
PLEASE keep us in your prayers as we take this journey across the "BIG POND" LOL!! To Scotland that we will be a blessing to ALL that attend the meeting. That we will encourage and challenge many folks to give their hearts to the Lord, or to serve the Lord more with all their lives!
Until we meet again. Go do something to make our Lord proud. I know that I sure will try to be doing that as well!
