I have had people tell me in the past that they could not figure out how to sign my blog without having an account with blogger. So if any of you are interested in writing to me this is how you do it.
You click the number next to where it says comments at the bottom of the page and it should say to the right leave comment. After you write in what you want to say and ALL the good things you want to share about me, HA HA!! You then go to the bottom and push anonymous. This will then publish your thoughts with me and everyone else!!
Just thought that I would explain since I don't get any comments. That is o.k. but I wanted folks to know so that they could if they so desire!!
Yard sale is still going. I have made a total of $35.00 and today and tomorrow to go!! Making the BIG bucks!!! Better than NOTHING!!!
Thank you for the prayers and I will look forward to hearing from you!!!
God Bless,
Andrea

YARD SALE!!!
We had a great weekend at Bay shore with all of the people and doing the Sunday morning worship service as well!! We always enjoy doing this. What a great time of fellowship and testimony. We always feel the presence of the Lord there with us as we did on this Sunday too!!
So in the middle of trying to unpack all of our belongings from the weekend. I did 7 loads of laundry between Sunday night and Monday. Then I started marking all of my things for the yard sale. Funny enough it did not dawn on me until Sunday afternoon that I had planned to have my sale. I had it all together, but forgot that I was going to try and do it this week. So I worked on it yesterday and started this morning. Tyler is having a hard time understanding why some of his things are sitting outside on the driveway! I just hope that if someone wants to buy them he will not try and stop them!!! Pray that I will make some BIG bucks....LOL!! I have made $7.00 so far and I have only been open for 30 minutes! Better than minimum wage working a REAL job! HA!! HA!!
So I guess that you read on the front of the website that our motor home jacks would NOT go down. So Mark had to go back yesterday and get the trailer. Today he is running around doing errands and then he has to go work at the studio in Lansing. There is always something going on at the Foresters.
Oh, yeah in the middle of updating my blog, running a yard sale. I am trying to also stuff Cd's out in the garage!!! What a day!!!!
Thank you for your prayers and support to us and the ministry. It means SO much to us. We can use ALL of the prayers that you want to throw our way!! Thanks again and may God bless you greatly for your work for HIM!!!
Let's go make HIM proud this week!!
God Bless,

SLOWING DOWN????? NOT JUST YET!!!
We still have a lot of task ahead of us the next couple of days. I have 450 CD'S to do between today and tomorrow. We have to get the motor home ready to leave on Thursday. It needs a good cleaning and has to be packed, moved into for 4 days. You needs so many things that packing for 4 days is just about equivalent to being gone for 40 days. So Lord willing I will get more than half of the CD'S done today so that tomorrow I can focus more on the motor home.
Pray for Mark, PLEASE!! He is so exhausted that he is still working on the last song. It HAS to be done tonight because it is coming out Thursday!!! And I have to duplicate them!!!
We have been so busy lately and late nights that sleep has not been a real option in our house. We have NOT gotten enough and when you are a singer sleep is VERY important. So all that to say this. Mark does not have a whole lot left in him to sing because of lack of sleep. So PLEASE pray that he can finish today!!!
We had a great weekend, with our meetings in Gladwin,Sturgis, and Stanton Michigan.The churches were great to us. We had a great time with each of them and the Lord met with us!!!
It was a weekend of short nights, but the Lord helped us through. We got home at 12:00 a.m. Sunday morning got to bed around 1:00a.m. Got up at 5:00 a.m. and headed out again. We were able to sneak in a nap( in the car) Sunday afternoon while Tyler was a sleep. Then we headed over to our Sunday night date. Got home about 11:30 p.m. and by the time that we brought all of our (JUNK!!) in got settled down we finally got to bed around 1:00 a.m. again!!! Yesterday Tyler and I did the normal groceries, etc. and then I headed home to get some work done!! I was able to get 300 CD'S done, but much more to do!! PLEASE pray for me too that I will get everything done!!!
Thank you for your prayers and support to our ministry. God is SO GOOD!! And we were reminded of that just this past week. We had some GREAT, GREAT, GREAT needs and the Lord came through like you would NOT believe!! GOD IS GOOD!!
We hope to see you soon somewhere at one of our concerts! Thanks again, God Bless.

WHAT'S MY NAME???????
That is what we are asking ourselves today. We have had some very late nights and very early mornings lately. We went to bed Saturday night after our concert about 1:00a.m. and I got up around 5 minutes till 6 Sunday morning. We did not get to bed until around 1:30 this morning ( Monday) . This is what our life has been over the last month or so. Mark has just about reached his end on the new album both mentally and physically. It is TONS of work for him when we do this. It has been a great strain on him doing this and all the travelling that we have been doing. And it has me too as well. Your prayers are welcomed and appreciated for us!!!
I am trying to get Tyler to take a nap, if he would stop calling me to his room to answer silly questions as all kids do when they do not want to tap a nap...............He needs one BAD today. Rough schedules this weekend has made for an interesting day!!! On him and me.
I am headed down to the dungeon ( CD room) to start doing 300 Cd's for some orders that I must fill. Not complaining it helps pay the bills and this day in time it is VERY important!! GOD KNOWS............................AND HE CARES!!!
Thanks for your interest in our ministry. Check back with us this week and see what else we have going on. Come out to our concerts in the future if they are near where you are from. We would love to have you there and be a part of our services.
God Bless and have a great week serving our Saviour!!!
Because of HIM,
Andrea

EVERYTHING DAY!!!
Today has been try and do EVERYTHING today. I first got up and mowed the yard. Tyler did NOT join me today. I think that he got scared. He started off outside with me. Then I hit a rock and it was really loud so he decided that he was done with that!! He said, " Mommy I'm going inside." So away he went. The next thing I know he was at the back sliding glass door watching mow from inside, in the air condition. While I was out side working and getting VERY hot..........I think that he was the smarter one this one.
I then headed inside and dusted the house. Then got cleaned up and headed downstairs to do Cd's I have done a total of 170 today. I then went upstairs to get Mark some lunch and heard my cell phone beep from low battery. I thought this should NOT be happening. I charge my phone every night and just got a new phone in April because of this very thing. Well, while I had time and Tyler was down from a nap. I took off to the Verizon store, ( Mark was home with Tyler!) PTL!!! They gave me another one for no charge since it was less than 6 months since I bought a new one and transferred all of Mark's phone numbers to my phone so I did not have to hand do them at NO charge as well. It is normally $10.00 to do this. So the Lord saved us $60.00 in what could have been an expensive unexpected day!! PTL!!!
So Tyler is down for a nap and Mark is in the studio. I am going to work on the Cd's a little while longer and then start on the laundry. It is 5:30 p.m. I have had a full day and don't plan on doing to much more.
Pray for us this weekend. We sing 4 times in three days. We pray that we will be a blessing to all that decide to come out and be a part of these services.
Thank you for your prayers and support. May the Lord bless you all in your service for HIM!!

NEED MORE SLEEP????
We do! We did our date last night in Boyne City, MI and it went really well. We were delighted to be on this venue. We sang with The Thurston family...' Love'em'! Gloria Lynne, The Walkers, Southern Praise and some others. We all had a really good time singing our Lord's praises and catching up on each others lives!!
However, we are feeling the results today. We did not think about trying to get a motel until yesterday morning. So got up and instantly started calling motels. The only result that I was getting was" NO VACANCY!!"! Not what I wanted to hear when we were a GOOD 3 hour drive from home and the concert not ending until 11:00 p.m.!!!! YES!!! You read that right. 11:00 p.m., 3 hours home!! So once we were packed up and down the road we finally arrived home, crawled into bed( literally) and looked at the clock. It was then........4:07 A.M.!!! So since Tyler got a three hour nap on the way home guess who was up at 9:20...........TYLER!!! Guess who got to get up with him and turn on cartoons..................ME!!! So I am really dragging right now right along with Mark!!
I got all of our clothes ready for church tomorrow and our date tomorrow night. 5 loads of laundry done and the car wiped down and cleaned out and ready to take another trip tomorrow!!
I am done for now with the house work, clothes etc. However, Mark is now gone to watch his brothers do a singing date. He had promised them he would go sometime last week ,so he needed to go. He is riding with them and his dad, so I am glad that he is not having to drive, he is VERY tired today. Tyler and I decided to stay home and enjoy being home for today.
Pray for us this weekend. We will actually be at our home church in the morning and then we will head to Muskegon, MI. for tomorrow night. Thank you for all your interest in our ministry. May God bless you all as you too strive to serve our Lord!! Talk to you soon!
God bless,
Andrea
