ALIVE AND WELL!!!!

Thank you for your prayers. I am feeling tons better and seem to be getting rested up.I took 3 Tylenol p.m.s last night. Don't know if this is too many or not but I did rest pretty good!HA! Mark,Tyler and I had yesterday and have today off as well. So we have HUGE plans for today!!! N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!!! We are going to go with the flow. We slept in and now we are just enjoying the day. It is supposed to be 82 degrees today but a little over cast. It is one of those days that you just do NOT want to move.

Anyhow, say prayers for Mark now. He's started to not feel good yesterday and is still under the weather. He has 2 and a half days to keep his voice and feel better before our next engagement. PLEASE pray that we will all continue to stay well, as I know that you will.

There is a pool where we are right now and Tyler and I took advantage yesterday. I ran some errands for Mark( post office, office depot, gas for the car and got him medicine) . Then came back and took Tyler for a walk. I told hime that we would take some towels up to the pool and "splash" our feet in the water for a while. Well, "SPLASH" was the word. This did NOT turn out like I thought it was going to.I rolled up his pants and his sleeves I tucked in my skirt, put our towels down to sit on and away we went. The first splash was o.k. Just a few drops. THEN!!! Before we were done. He was saoked without even getting in!! I managed to stay some what dry in the exception for drops on my skirt and my legs getting wet. We had a good time together. Moments that will atleast be a memory for me!! He is my buddy!!

Thank you for your support to us and the ministry. We appreciate all that you all do. If you are in Florida and in the Holiday Florida area come see us this weekend. We would LOVE to see you. Thanks again and we will talk to you real soon.

God Bless,
Andrea

HAPPY " HEART" DAY!!!

After all this is what this day brings us! All the wonderful words that are spoken and the love that is felt. Just like it says in Proverbs" a merry heart doeth good like a medicine."

WOW!!! I will never be sick! Why? You might ask. Because I have the "Bestest" husband in the world, the greatest kid ever created, the most supportive and loving family and I have the Lord in my heartand my life and a mansion awaiting me in Heaven!!!! WOW,WOW,WOW!!! Now that makes for a VERY happy heart. God is GOOD.

We have had a good day together. We were at my grandfathers church last night with a great service there. We spent the night with him. Then I got up and did some laundry for him and us. Six loads in all. YEA!!! Then we came over to New Port Richey to park. We then headed out for dinner. Mark wanted to take me to a nice place of my choice. Well, that was an adventure! I LOVE Outback but that was a joke. There was an 85 minute wait. By then I could have cooked my own meal and been in my own bed asleep for an hour! So we thought I bet Longhorn won't be to bad, HA! There was a 65 minute wait there. So guess where we opted for a meal? IHOP!!! Acutally, I was totally fine with this and so was Tyler and Mark ( Well, Tyler had NO choice in this one HA!). We both have one meal in particular there that we like. I had my famous"Chicken fajita omlette" with " Walnut grain pancakes"MMMMM!!! Making you hungry yet? Just to let you know it was GREAT!!! Of course for those of you that know me well. The omlete was made with "egg beaters" the syrup was sugar free and the omlette was asked to be made with NO cheese! POOR Mark. By the time I order at resturants he could have eaten twice. Another reason to love him as much as I do!!!

Anyhow, we are in for the night and everyone is doing different things. Mark is watching " Smallville" in the back of the motorhome. Tyler is watching " Thomas the tank engine" in the front of the motorhome and I am obviously on the computer.

I hope that you had a great day and someone told you that they loved you. And if they did'nt just remember God loves you without a doubt!! That should make your heart very happy.

Thank you for your prayers and we love you ALL!!!

Happy Valentines Day and God Bless,

NO SNOW!!!

This is what I am greatful for right now. We have gotten several e-mails from friends back home and all they have said is bad things about the weather and LOTS of snow!! Not to rub it in to all you folks back home. But we had today off and are staying in a rv park with Mark's parents for 2 days to just relax and swim. It was in the high seventies today!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

We sat out in our lawn chairs and sat and talked for about 2 hours in the sun before taking a dive in the pool and jacuzzi. Tyler has become a little water dog. He loves it. He really likes the jacuzzi. He got in tonight and said " oohh this feels g-o-o-d!!! I definitely aggreed.

We sing Wednesday at my grandfathers church in Kissimmee Florida. We will be staying with him for the night and then we will head back over towards the New Port Richey area. We are in Cape Coral/Fort Meyers this weekend.

Thank you for your prayers for us. My mother-in-law just shared with me tonight how she got to lead a lady to the Lord today in the park that she is staying in. My mother-in-law had just gone to go do her laundry and the Lord began to open the door. She ran into a lady that saw us sing last year in the park and then again this year and loved it. She said that she had been watching all of our family and knew that we had something that she did not. She then got the opportunity to share the gospel and led her to the Lord. You just never know how the Lord will use what He has called us to do. And you never know thateven in the little things like just going up to do you laundry will lead to either. That is why we have to always be ready to share the gospel and ALWAYS be the light that they will see.

So I said all that to say,"Keep us in your prayers". The Lord is working in ways that we may never see down here. We need the strength to keep on pressing on and your prayers play a BIG part! Thank you.

We will talk to you real soon. May the Lord bless you in your service for Him!!

God Bless,
Andrea

FUN FUN FUN!!!

Today was SO much fun!! We went to a place called Fun Spot today. It is a go -kart place that you pay one fee and ride all day. Plus free drinks all day as well. Our kide of place! Tyler was so cute and brave!! We got there at 12:30 p.m. and just arrived back to the motorhome at 8:00 p.m. He did not have nap all day. But he went out like a light when we got back to the car.

Two of the tracks had real big hills but he never made a noise. He got to the last lap and held onto the wheel as if he were driving and said, " mommy I did it!!' As if he knew he had concord all of his fear from the ride!!! He did this on 2 different go-kart tracks. He is so much fun! He also rode kiddie rides while Mark and I rode the other karts. Marks brothers went too! So grandma and grandpa watched Tyler while we pretended to be BIG kids again! We had a blast. However, the old saying is right," she ain't what she used to be"!! I AM TIRED!!! And so is Mark and Tyler.

We sing tomorrow and Sunday 2 different places. Pray for us that we will be affective for our Lord. Thank you for your prayers and we will talk to you real soon.

Just Chillin'!!!

What a day! Mark is gone working in the studio that he helps out at here in Florida. So Tyler and I have been enjoying the 84 degree day here!! First he had some pizza. His FAVORITE food. He had 3 whole pieces. Don't have to worry about him eating for a few days, HAHA!! Then we went outside to play for a while.

Tyler rode his bike and played with his ball while I restocked our cd rack and table bucket. New prayers cards ect.

He was so cute. I got out my chair out and his to so that he could sit down if he wanted. I had me a magazine, Diet Mountain Dew ( GOD'S Drink!!) and some sugar free candy. So guess what all of a sudden he needed too? You guessed it. He pulled his chair as closed to mine as he possibly could got his juice cup, went inside and got him a book and I got him some spider-man candies. He was then all set. He wanted to be just like mommy.

This then sent me to thinking. My how much better our lives would be if we "Daily" tried to look at the Life of Christ and wanted to be like Him. I know that I try and you too. But, being the sinful human beings that we are it is a struggle. But, for Tyler he just thought that was what he was supposed to do( be like me) and he did it! That is how I want to live my life. When the Lord shows me what He wants for my life and what He wants me to correct, and JUST DO IT!!! Just like Tyler taught me today.

Just goes to show you, you can learn from anyone, if you WANT to learn and be a better person!!Even your 2 1/2 year old son!!! I guess he really is a blessing to my life! Some days I wonder.........JUST KIDDING. I thank the Lord for him EVERYDAY!!

Tyler and I are planning on playing outside some more before the day is over. He is sleeping right now. But the day is WAY to pretty to be inside.

Thank you for your prayers and support. We have had good meetings thus far and we hope that the rest of them go accordingly. We covet your prayers. As we have about 40 more dates to go on this trip!! We have 9 more weeks down here as well. AAWW poor us! I know what you are thinking.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again and have a blessed day!!

God Bless,
