What a beautiful day!!!

Today is one of the reasons I " DO" love Michigan!! Perfect weather. The other reason I guess would be ................Well, Mark brought me here!! HA!

Today was clean out the garage day( as much as possible anyway!) I am doing 300 CD"s today also. I cleaned out the garage for play space for Monday. We are having some friends of ours over for Labor day. Between the three of us couples. We have 5 kids. So my Idea was to clean the garage and they could play with Tyler's basketball goal, bikes and balls. Leave the door shut with the light on and that would be an instant, no worry play space!!

Mark has been doing all kinds of odd things today. He is still out and about getting things done. He will be doing a recording tomorrow as well.

We sing tomorrow and Sunday. We have had a GREAT but very busy and crazy summer. We are looking forward to our time of relaxation in October. When Mark goes hunting Tyler and I am going to sleep late, watch HGTV all day and eat whenever we want!!! He will be hunting and we are not going to take CD orders for this week either. So that I can have a break as well. Only fair .......right??HA!

Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers as we are doing ministry during the week and on the weekends!! I t never ends here!! But, We LOVE IT!!

Go enjoy the remainder of this beautiful day ( here in Michigan anyway) that the Lord hath made!!! We hope to see you at a concert soon!!

God Bless,
Andrea

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

What a weekend!! We had such a good time at Bay shore this year. But, However we are SO TIRED!!! We are headed out in about 30 minutes to go sing up north tonight. I am finishing up a small CD job before we go and then I must give myself a make over!!!

This year we sang on Friday night Saturday and Sunday!!! Mark preached Sunday and did a wonderful job!! Even I think that he is funny and I hear the jokes every time we sing and I still laugh!!!! It's the times that I NEVER know what he is going to do or say that is really scary!!!

I think that our new CD has some really great songs and fun things to do. We sure hope that everyone will enjoy hearing them!!

Gotta run. Thank you for your prayers. We need them today. We are running low on Physical fuel ( and van fuel HAHA!!) today so give us a shout out to the Lord!! Thank you and may the Lord bless you ion return. Have a blessed day!!

What a day................That will be!!

We have done a combination of so many things today. I started my day with.........LORD HELP!! And then guess what I did? your right CD'S!!! Then we both headed over to get our motor home. It has been in the shop getting some tweaking done to it before our trip to Florida. Mark brought it home for me to clean( YEAH!!) and pack for our trip up north for the weekend. We sing Friday, Saturday and have the whole service again on Sunday. We are looking forward to a very great time . Come out and see us if you can!!

Then after I cleaned it. Mark was gone so guess who got to drive it over to the lot???? ME!!! I love the looks that I get when I drive it. It is so big that I think I must look little and plus I am a woman and supposedly we do not drive motor homes??? HEE HEE HA HA! !

After that Tyler and I had to go to the post office, dry cleaners and where else.............OH, yeah.............WALMART!!!! YEAH!!! But before we did that. It is hot in Michigan today and we needed some ice cream and to see Ronald McDonald!! Tyler thinks that he is funny. Our McDonald's here still has the statue sitting outside and he thinks that is the greatest. Before we leave, he always ask to " ME SEE!!!!"

Now I am home doing office work and DVDS and demo packs for our table. Thank you for your prayers as we have a big weekend and lots more to do!!! We could not do it without your love and support.

Until next time. Stay cool! And have a great weekend. Talk to you next week!

God Bless,

YEE HAW!!!

We did it!! We are on the last song of our new project. I am looking forward to you all hearing the message of these new songs. Mark wrote a great one. Along with some really good new ones!! We hope that you all enjoy them as much as we are ready to sing them for you!!

I have all of our clothes ironed and ready for the weekend. We leave to go sing in about 2 hours and we sing twice tomorrow. On the go and LOVING IT!!

I have a prayer request for all of you that read this please. My dad in the past as some of you know had colon cancer and was given a 10% chance to live. He survived( PRAISE THE LORD) and has been cancer free for about 8 years. He had a colonoscopy last week and they found pre-cancer in his colon again. They will see him in 3 to 6 months and we will go from there. PLEASE pray that the Lord will choose to make everything alright again this time. I have learned that we have to pray, take it to Him and let Him choose to do as He sees fit. Of course our prayer is that he is going to go in 3 to 6 months from now and they were wrong!!! HE CAN DO THIS!! As we all know. Tyler is LIVING proof. I beg for your prayers and this concern for us and my mom at this time!! Thank you in advance!!

I will be doing CD'S as always again next week. So If I don't update you on the weekend right away. I have not dropped off the earth, I am just bathing in Cd's, shrink wrap,and cases!!!HAHA!!

Tyler and I took a walk last night after dinner. He has gotten into his walks with me. Although I push him in the stroller and I walk. What is wrong with this picture? Oh, yeah I need it and he doesn't. There I said it. You were just thinking it!!!

Looks like we might need a coat out there tonight. So bundle up and come see us tonight if you can, or tomorrow. Have a good one. Until next time Keep on serving HIM!!

God Bless,

Weeds, rocks and MORE!!

That exlpains most of my day! I got up this morning, started the dish washer, washer and dryer all at once. Then started unpacking my 2 suit cases from the weekend. From our 2 different trips. Then I headed out side to work on our yard! All I can say is that we got taken on our new yard!! I had mowed the front yard, but had not had enough yard to mow until about a week ago and now the yard was over taken by WEEDS!! So I began to pick up rocks and I found HUGE ones. I could not believe what I found. It took me about 1 and half hours to just get up the rocks. Then I was able to finally mow. Then I came inside,switched out the laundry again, vacuumed and then cleaned my self up. Let's just say that I looked NOTHING like I look like on Sunday mornings when most of you see me all dresses up!!! SITE TO BE SEEN!! To say the least.

Next project was to head to the grocery and also do all of our bottle returns. Then head home put that away. Clean out the van from yesterday. Now I have put Tyler down and I am getting ready to do CD'S!!! YEAH!!! What a day already.

On the agenda next will be. Do what I can do down here before Tyler wakes up, make supper and bathe Tyler before the day ends. Then I will try and find something else to do!!! AAAHH!! So I said ALL this to say.......................THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!!

Hope all of you are having aggod one out there today. We had good services this weekend and the Lord was good to us as always!! We will talk to you soon. Take care until next time. May the Lord bless you greatly!!

On The Road Again!!!

Today has been a combination of allot of things. I have done about 150 Cd's. Laundry. Recorded a radio commercial with Mark. Took some things to the Post office. All the duties with a 2 year old (diapers, food, naps,a little loving!) You get the point. Ironing, and having to pack 2 different suit cases for 2 different trips this weekend alone!!

We are singing up north tomorrow using the motor home. Coming home Saturday morning, switching to the van with all the equipment and then driving to Ohio for Sunday morning. Then we sing back in Michigan Sunday night. WOW!!! I am tired already. Whoever booked this one should be talked to(MARK!!) Oh, well! Praise the Lord that we are booked to sing and do what the Lord has called us to do!!


Mark is in Flint tonight at a concert for Legacy-Five and The Gospelmen ( local group) He is Master of Cerimonies ( Big Dog tonight)! I could not get my worked all done before Mark left so Tyler and I stayed home. We are winding down for the night now. Tomorrow we have to get the motor home cleaned up a little before heading out, so we have a full day!!! Thank you for your prayers. We need them greatly this weekend!! Pray that we can stay awake driving . And also that we can sing to the best of our ability.

We hope that you all are doing well. Thank you for your interest in our ministry and your prayers. May the Lord bless you greatly in return.

Until we meet again. Keep on Keeping on for HIM!!

Double Duty!!

Today is MONDAY!!! And this is the day that always seems to go fast, because I move so
s-l-o-w !!! I had the normal duties to attend to . Laundry, grocery shopping, paying bills but today. I am doing this and a CD project. I have to get at least 600 for a man by Thursday.

My brother-in-law is stopping by tonight to sleep before heading on up to Gaylord, MI. to start his new job as the dean of Dr. Jerry Jenkins school. God has done some exciting things for their family. They truly have seen the Lord's will in this move. The Lord obviously has this calling on their lives right now. God is GOOD!!

Speaking of which isn't it awesome that when the Lord wants you to do something and we are willing to surrender. He ALWAYS takes care!! All we have to do is be willing, ready and able to do whatever when He speaks to us. Not always easy I know. BE THERE!! But, He always pulls us through!!

Thank you for your prayers and support. We had some great meetings this weekend. We traveled 9 1/2 hours just on Sunday between dates!!! Needless to say that we are a little tired today!!

We hope that all of you out there are serving our Lord as best as you know how with His help. That's what I do and that is all that He ask. What a trade for someone that shed His blood and gave His life for us ??

Until we talk again may the Lord bless you and keep on keeping on!!
