We are in the Sunshine state!!! Yee haw!!! As I always say!! We called back home today to some friends and they told us that it was 50 degrees today which is not to bad. But the kicker was that it was getting down to 9 degrees tonight!! SO glad that we are here!!
We are off the rest of this week and loving it. We needed a break BAD. We worked so hard just to get ready to leave for the trip that we are STILL exhausted! So we have enjoyed reading, sitting in the sun. Playing ball with Tyler and watching him ride his ELMO bike. He is having a ball being outside. Seeing that he NEVER gets to at home.
Please pray that we will have a good trip. We are already heading to the motorhome repair shop in the morning. Our fridge is FREEZING everything. So I have lost about $12.00 worth of salad and lots of other things. So pray that they will be able to fix and and do it CHEAP!!! That is our favorite word when it comes to repairs. As you know we have had our share.
Thank you for your prayers and support. We need them. We will update you soon. We are in a church parking lot now. Passing the time relaxing. AAHHH!
Talk to you soon,
Andrea

We are OFF!!!
We are leaving Kentucky this morning and heading further south!!! It is cold here!! BBRRR!! We are getting away from all this stuff!!
The Lord has been good. We still had allot of work to do after we got down here to my folks in Ky. But, we both finished with it all about 11:00 p.m. last night!
We are headed to lower GA. today and then on in to Florida tomorrow. YEA!!!!
But, of course we have to go to WAL-MART before leaving town!! I usually load up on my groceries here before we head on down. I don't worry about food on the first stop at my parents house on this trip. Because we just eat all of their food while we are here!! HAHA!!!
Thank you for your prayers. I know that some of you are not feeling to sorry for us going south this time of year. But, please find some room in your heart to pray that it will be a good trip and that all will go smooth. Lives will be changed and encouraged for HIM!!!
Did you see I had a Solo CD that came out?? Praise the Lord that it is done!! We hope that you all can get one and that you will be blessed by the words of the songs as I was recording them!!!
Thanks again and we will be talking to you!!
God Bless,
Andrea Forester

2,340!!!!!
That is how many Cd's that I have done since Monday!!! I am just about burned out!! Plus because our print will not be here before we leave I get to do 300 of that total at my parents house. We are stopping there for a few days to get some things done and visit. Because although we will be down south. I will not see them again until the 4Th of April or so.
WHAT A BLESSING!!! I am so happy and amazed at what all the Lord has done for our little guy. He has been through so much and us as well that the news yesterday was a HUGE sigh of relief!!!
God has heard many prayers for him and done great things. PLEASE do not stop!! They say he is fine and normal in their eyes. However he does only have the one kidney. We pray that the Lord will use him greatly. And that he will continue to touch peoples lives with his story and encourage others as well. God is STILL on His throne!! And working mightily for you too!!!
Thank you for your prayers and concerns for us, Tyler and the ministry. They are SO appreciated.
We sing 3 times this weekend. I will be packing the motor home on Monday( all day chore) and then we head out Tuesday. PLEASE pray that the trip will be a pleasant one and that we will see many saved and encouraged to keep pressing on!!
If I do not write for a while it will be because of the weekend and the transit to Florida. Once we get there we will have a few days the first week of February. So keep checking back with me I might be here with new updates sooner than you think.
Just a quick little side note to make you laugh before I go. Mark was "trying" to have somewhat of a deep conversation with Tyler yesterday of how God has healed him and is making him better every single day. Then Mark got to the part of the conversation where he asked Tyler " Do you know that Jesus loves you?" and Tyler said, " Yes, I TOOTED"!!! HAHA!! Kids will be kids won't they!! HEE HEE!!
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts of us they are felt everyday. Say an extra few prayers today lots to do and running out of steam!! ( energy!)
God Bless,
Andrea

Busy, Busy!!
This is what we are up to here!!! We have SO much on our plates right now. Mark is EXTREMELY busy!! He has so many projects going it is not funny. Pray that he will get them all done and I will be able to get everything done that I need to, but also be able to be a help to him in some way. There is SO much to prepare for when you leave for 21/2 months!!
Tyler has been so much fun this week. He has been great considering that we have had to juggle him and all of our work in the basement as well.
Mark went to Lansing Tuesday night to work so Tyler and I went " GOODWILL shopping". I have been looking for him snow boots for this year. I thought that he was a tad to little to get him out in the snow this year(2007) but I wanted him to have some for 2008. So we hit the jack pot on our journey to Goodwill that night. They were what I think that he will be wearing by then if not just a tad to big. They were made by Totes and looked as if they had been worn maybe twice!! I LOVE this store. But the jack pot for Tyler was when I found a horse costume that you step into and strap on. He is able to put it on and run. This is just what he did!!! I put it on him when we got home and he started galloping right away down the hall saying" YEE HAW!!" And the good thing about it was that it was only $3.00. It too only looked like it had been worn about 3 times!!! He has played with it ever since. It does not take much to make him happy. Let's pray that he stays this way. If not we will help him learn.
I also found a good bargain. I got a pair of Hush Puppy black dress shoes. Just the style that I have been wanting to replace a pair that I had and LOVED!!! I go them for $1.50 and they too look VERY new. I was SO happy. Now that only makes about 40 pairs that I have. If you know me you know that I love purses and shoes. What girl doesn't?????
We are hard at work here. Mark is in the studio as I speak. And I have been in the CD room today filling orders and doing ours as well.
Thank you for your prayers and support. Talk to you real soon.

BIG Boy!!!
We did Thursday night for a retirement home and they seemed to love it. We had a great time with them and Tyler put on ALL his charm!
He was such a Big Boy! There was not anyone that could watch him so we went out on a limb! The chairs had arms on them and they were very comfy. So I tucked him all in with a blanket. Gave him his little lunch box with snacks and all the toys and books that we had in his bag. We sat him on the front row where he could see us real good. He sat there all by himself for 40 minutes and did NOT move. He did not even try to get up!! I thought he did so good. You have to remember he is not even 21/2 yet!!! PTL! That he is so good to travel with. The Lord new just what we needed.
We have another date in Battle Creek tonight and 2 more tomorrow. We are off and running this year.
Mark is off getting his hair cut and some other errands before coming back to get Tyler and I. We will load up and head out of here for the weekend in about an hour.
Thank you for your prayers and support. You mean allot to us and this ministry. Thank you all for coming out and supporting us at concerts as well. We have seen quite a few of you lately and we appreciate your love and support to us and the ministry.
Take care of yourselves and have a great weekend serving in your own churches. Get revived and go win some souls next week. I will be stuffing my gospel tracks in Beer cartons and anywhere else I can put them or give them out!!
God Bless,
Andrea

Happy New Year!!!
We hand a pre- New years eve service last night and it was great! We had a great time and wonderful turnout.
We came home and I was not feeling well at all. Got sick and by 1a.m. on New Year's day and was doing what you probably are thinking! Yea!!!! Happy New Year to me!!! But sadly enough I went to bed. And by morning I asked Mark. Are you feeling o.k.? And he said, not at all! Yea! Now happy new year to him. He has been sick all day too.
We had about 7 inches of snow fall today so the drive was really bad. So like it or not it had to be done. Mark was to sick so I took on the task. I have not felt well today either. But have not had the stomach problems. I just have been VERY weak and achy. However I managed to get the drive shoveled, a load of clothes done and tried to keep everybody fed. Along with the diaper changing too!!! Besides these things I have been on the couch. Please pray the we will all get better. We have SO much work that must be done before we leave for the south.
We hope that you all have a great and very blessed New Year. Thank you for your prayers and support. You mean so much to us. May the Lord bless you greatly for your support to us. Keep on serving Him faithfully.
