WOW!! Not sure that I have ever gone this long in between post. We have had an interesting trip thus far. The motor home was in GA. where it had broken down until 3:00 p.m. today when Mark went back and picked it up!
We are in a motel right now in Fort Meyers for our meeting tomorrow. We have had great meetings thus far on our journey here in Fl. God is good and has provided a place to stay, food and we have each other. We are hanging in there until we get the motor home fixed and back in our hands. I keep saying I am in " SURVIVAL MODE!" doing what we can to get through the circumstances.
Please keep us in your prayers as we have a significant bill awaiting ffor us to pay for the repairs to the motor home. God knows and He cares. So we have to trust that He WILL take care of it.
We are praying for a GREAT trip of people coming to the saving knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, decisions made and lives changed for our Lord. If we have but one come to know the Lord I would have to say that it will be worth it all!!!
Thanks again for your prayers and keep on keeping on for the LORD!!!

Circus!!!
This week God provided and took care of our needs as always. He kept His hand of protection around us and our travels as you all pray for. Thank you!
Mark left Monday to take our van down so that we would have a vehicle during our 2 month stay.
I wanted to do something with the boys so i took them to the circus. It comes to our town every year. But, every year we are either leaving town for our trip or it is 2 weeks after we are gone. So this year it fell where we could go and Tyler is just the right age to take him. We had a great time, took pics and made some memories!
We have TONS left to do and little time left. The motor home is still in the shop and I have not even been able to clean it yet. So I have a lot left to do to get it ready as does Mark. He has some studio things left to do and I have a lot of CD jobs left to do too! So all this to say...............PLEASE PRAY that we can get it all done and out of here in a timely matter.
Hope that you have a great week and remember to make our LORD proud!
In HIS arms,
Andrea

BLAH!!!!
This is how most of the Forester clan feels today. Yesterday was a LONG day. Starting at 5:30 a.m. and ending at 12:35 this morning. We are all running slow.
Trevor is not feeling well at all and is losing his voice. So when he cries for me it sounds quite pitiful. I had to go back to the dentist and have them put back on my temporary crown. It came off Saturday! Mark is there now getting fit for his crown. The weather is so cold and we are so tired that we do NOT want to move.
But, that is impossible around here. After Mark leaves the dentist chair he has to go to Lansing, MI. to work. And will go gone to who knows when. I have some CD work that I need to get ahead on and of course just the chores of being a mom.
We had good meetings this weekend and thank you for your prayers for our safety. God is good. On that note, Mark got in a small wreck this morning at the P.O. so we will have to get some repairs done to the car( the ministry car!) So, your prayers for this expense would GREATLY be appreciated!
Hope you all have a great week. Stay warm for those of you in the North and for those of you in the South, keep the weather just right, because we are on our way!!!!! YAY!!!! Have a good one and don't forget to tell EVERYBODY about THE SOMEBODY that can save ANYBODY!!!!

Our teething are falling, Our teeth are falling............out!
Well, not really but it felt like they were a little today. Mark and I both had to get root canal's done today. NOT fun!!!! Another part that was NOT so fun was the pile of bills that were occurring at every move that they made in our mouth!!!
I know that the Lord knows. So now we just have to trust that He will take care of the "NEW" teeth bills to come. We had all of the previous bills paid off last Summer and so now, here we go again. Guess that this is life. YAY for us!
Had good services this past week and God was good to take care of us in our travels. Mark has worked so hard lately and weird hours that he was exhausted Sunday afternoon. So the boys were asleep and so I offered to drive. I too was tired and not feeling well. I was trying to fight off going to sleep and thought that I could do so. NOT the case. I fell asleep and ran into the bumpers and into the grass before awaking. Mark yelled and I was able to pull back on the road safely afterwards.
Mark was then awake(of course) and without a doubt wanted to take over driving!!! I then took a nap. I NEVER can do this in the car and has been a few years since I have done so. Must have been more tired than I thought! Thank you Lord for your protection and thank you for your prayers for us as well.
Hope that you all have a good week and that you will find a way to witness to someone you know/don't know.
Thanks for your prayers and we will talk to you next week.

So Blessed!
What a GREAT holiday, Christmas we had with all the family. I got to see all of my folks in Ky. Then we had our Christmas here together. Then we went to Mark's parents Christmas day! WOW!! Yes, LOTS of eating and presents took place!! LOVE Christmas!
My parents came up to spend Christmas day with us and the rest of the family. They have not been here with me on Christmas day in 7 years! SO glad they came. We had a great time of fellowship with both sides of the family. SO BLESSED to have both sides that love each other, get along great and they all love the Lord as well. Again, SO blessed!
Tyler was a ball of fun to watch as he opened EVERYTHING that he had asked for and then some. He was too blessed to get everything that he wanted. God is good! Trevor got into the whole unwrapping thing. We would tear a little and then he would just pull away. So proud of him!!
We had the day off Sunday. This has been great. We got to go to our church both services and relax in the afternoon. Eat dinner at home and enjoy some football together! VERY odd for us, but was a lot of fun.
God bless to all and hope that you have a great week and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Lot's of tears!!!
So, we have made Lord only knows how many attempts to take the boys to get their shots and have failed I don't know how many times. Trevor was 2 months behind and Tyler was about 5 months behind!!! I knew that they needed to be done. Our schedule kept getting in the way, the unexpected kept getting in the way. And the little voice in my head that was telling me that Tyler would scream his head off and cry every ounce of water out of his body kept holding me back as well!!
Well, I was somewhat right. From the moment we pulled up he started complaining. By the time we entered the building he was in full blown tears and did not stop until he was done. This was about 35 minutes later. Because we had to wait the be called back, then get the shots then he had to wait for Trevor to get his. WOW!!! So glad that Mark was with me. I knew I would NOT be able to do both of them alone. What a day!
I knew what the days agenda was so I had already taken Tyler to the Library to get some movies to watch after we got home. Plus I gave him 2 of his toys that were for his stocking when we got home too. It was a pretty dramatic day. Not to mention that we got his hair cut before this and he does not like to get his hair cut either. He says, " ouch" with every stroke of the comb. WOW!! Someone needs to be wrestled with and toughened up a little, you think?
Trevor did great. Of course he did not know what was going to happen, but did NOT like what he felt for sure. Tyler and Trevor both got 4 sticks each! Poor little fellas!!!
I have been in the CD room today doing jobs and doing the norm around the house. Mark has done all kinds of things today. And is now in Lansing working in the studio there. It is 10:30 p.m. and is still not home. We do not sit around much at the Forester home. ALWAYS something.
Thank you for your prayers as we are traveling this weekend and then leaving for down south again next Tuesday. Finances have been tight and we appreciate those that support us and those that can pray we would appreciate that as well. God knows and hears our prayers," thank you Lord"!
God bless you all and I pray that you have a great week and happy holiday to come!
He is born, He is ALIVE!!
