God Is Awesome

To us, this was a great picture of Tiny Girl, and at the time, it was...

...but God has changed this little beauty so much in 9 months.

But even more so, she has changed us!

Bob

Sometimes I call J Man Bob, so that is what I have decided to call him in my little blogger world. He is so smart! This picture just goes to show what I am talking about!
What do you think?

Hope that you all have a very blessed week!

Buddy is growing into such an amazing young man. He now has cows pigs, and this summer he had an amazing garden. He has become even more of an amazing older brother to J Man and Sunshine and I am now looking up to him. He works so hard and becoming everyday more like our Lord. It is wonderful to see him fill the chivalric code of being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave,pure and reverent more and more.

Dear Father,
Thank you so much for my brother. Thank you for allowing to look up to him even though he is younger then me.

More Good News!!!

Aren't they beautiful?
God has blessed us with more good news!
Both J Man and Sweet Pea now have their pastports and visa's!!!!
God has done so much and He is continuing to do even more!
Thank you all for your prayers and please continue to pray that everything will be provided.
An example of that is, Mama has been wanting to sell one of the trucks that we have.
Daddy put it at the end of the driveway and within four days it was gone!!!

Thank you Lord for all that you have done and all that you have provided and brought us through.

The Lord blessed us with a lot of food, fellowship, laughs, joy and much more this CHRISTmas!
There was some sadness because of the two missing. Please keep them in your prayers and thank you for all the prayers that you already have said for them!

Mama cooked an awesome meal on CHRISTmas day! Thank you for always cooking for us and never expecting anything in return! Well, one thing and what you always say sums it up,

"You eat you clean!"

Thanks Mama for teaching us how to cook with such patience and helping us learn to clean as a team!

God Bless,
Jot.
"There are two things I know. That I am great sinner. And Christ is a great Savior."

I just had to put these on here!

Aren't they precious!We all agree that we could just eat 'em with a spoon!

Isn't she gorgeous?
(we were all amazed at how perfect their teeth are)

As David tells us in Psalm 10:14,

"Thou art the helper of the fatherless."

I am so thankful that the Lord has chose us to help these two no longer fatherless treasures!

God Bless,
Joy.

A Blessing!

Sorry that it has been a while! :( But, before I got to bed I wanted to drop a note and share with you the story of a blessing that God gave me today! He is always blessing me and sometimes I don't see it or He does it so much I don't even realize what He has sent me but, anyway, on with the story! This morning I was able to sleep late and then wonder down stairs in my pj's. I then started working in the kitchen (one of my favorite things to do). As I was working our Uncle JR. came by. As we stood talking he said that he need to talk to me. As I walked towards him I thought that I was in trouble. Well, he puts his hands on my shoulders (what he always does when he very serious about something) and says,

"Would you like a camcorder?"

Me, "Yes sir!"

You see, he had bought this camera to take pictures with on all the mission trips he goes on but he claimed that it was to complicated for him so he gave it to me! I am still so excited! Now I just have to figure out how to work it! See, hear lately I have been thinking that it would be really cool if I could somehow save up and get a camera. But, God knew what I was thinking and GAVE me one nicer then I ever could of bought! And now maybe with this new fangled thing we will have more "picture perfect" posts!

Thank you Lord for being such an awesome and gracious God! Thank you for this time of the year where we can reflect on all that you have given us and blessed us with!
MAY YOU NAME BE FOREVER PRAISED!
