The Power of Prayer!
We believe. We believe in the power of prayer. In the past months we have asked our family and friends to pray for us and our family during the employment obstacles that we seem to be facing right now. We have also been added to prayer chains. We believe in prayer and we know this is how the interview for Bill came so quickly. Both of the boys in Texas have been looking for a job for several months. We are asking again for all to pray for us and our families. Jeremy & Dae hope to have permanent job news for each of them at the beginning of this week, please keep them in your prayers that the outcome will be a positive one. Christopher continues to pound the pavement.
Also, our daughter-in-law, Dae has accepted a part-time job in what we understand is in a not so good neighborhood, we pray that God will keep his loving and protective arms around her while she is there and that she will be safe.
We are still praying that Bill will hear something from the company he interviewed with. We have not heard anything yet, but we also know this time of the year the hiring process tends to slow down.
Thank you for all of your continued prayers for us and our family
This is our backyard today.... we are due to have the coldest temps here than there have been in years.... we are schedule to travel to Texas this week, we just pray that the weather calms down a bit by then. Did we mention we typically do not get snow like this? And if we do, it turns to rain and melts it all away.... hmmmm how's that story again about global warming?
And Santa is working hard in his shop to finish last minute Christmas gifts.
We leave soon to travel to Texas for Christmas. Pray that we will all travel to Borger safely.
We began our excellent adventure in January 1995 and that exciting journey continues today. Each day that we share together as husband and wife we know it is a gift from God. Our life is an adventure, one in which we share the same dreams & goals, we are a team. Between us we have 5 children, 4 siblings, 1 mother and many friends.
