My mom lives in MD. As you probably know, last week, they got over 2ft. of snow. The meteorologists are now predicting another 16-20 inches of snow. I have shared with you that my mom will be joining me on Friday in Atlanta. Can you please pray that the snow fall will be at a…

Today is John’s birthday and I just want to take some time to reflect on how much he means to me. WARNING: this is mushy and I don’t care if it is: “What You May Not Know” What you may not know about John is that I am my best when he is around, What…

Yesterday went fairly well. Not too thrilled about the dentist trip but it had to get done. We found out that to take four bags on the plane with me to Belize, it would cost $575, so we are moving to plan B (shipping stuff to my mom and putting items on the trailer). I…

With a couple of breaks here and there the “day of thanks” lasted from 10am to 4pm and from 7:30 pm to 11pm. There are a lot of people to thank. I am grateful to have that many. Today I go to the dentist and then I come home and we will be removing boxes…

Each day from here on out is reserved for a specific thing. This enables me to stay organized. Today is a day to write thank-you notes, and lots of them! Evangeline is at the sitters for the whole week from 8-4. Glad to be able to get some things done, but she will be missed…

Today we purchased me and my mom’s tickets to Belize. Yay! I will be leaving on Feb. 11th and have a layover in Atlanta for the evening. Then in the morning, I meet up with my mom who is coming from Baltimore. From there, we will leave for Belize arriving around noon on the 12th…

We have the “green light”! AMEN! We are going to be in Belize by the middle of February. PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! Please lift up a prayer of thanksgiving for us. We are definitely thanking God here. So what’s next? First, we have to set a solid date, we are…

We appreciate everyone’s patience with us as we try to patiently wait approval to go to Belize. I am so sorry that the promised meter on the start-up costs has not shown up. The fact is, the start-up costs fluctuate every day, it’s even difficult for us to keep track of! Without going into all…

Last week we made a very brief trip to MD. River of Life Church invited us to speak at their missions emphasis Sunday. We could not pass up the opportunity to speak at a church or to see my parents. We had a blessed time. For some time now we have been thinking that Evangeline…
