MONDAY...or is it??

A Tuesday after a holiday sure beats you up,lol. I'm having sinus trouble on top of it all too. I can't let it get me down though....way too much to do. I can't believe its been so long since I have wrote on my blog...I had gotten so faithful for awhile and now I'm not. Anyway, Joel and I did some SUPER cleaning this weekend...long overdue...because we did this the dishes and laundry has piled up BUT no worries I will get right on it..you know me! Its sure nicer to walk in my house now though...Now, if only we could paint the outside. Hope all is well with you all!!

Revival this wk. I just love this song the Erwin family sings.

David sang the praises of the glory of Jehovah
Paul preached that all is lost, save knowing Christ
Little John said He is precious, by leaning on His bosom
So for a moment, may I humbly testify
chorus:Did I mention that I love Him.How I worship and adore Him.When I can see no way, He makes a way.Did I mention that He's been faithful-to every promise He's ever made me.I love him, that's all I want to say
And how many sermons have been preached about this Jesus.how many songs have been sung about God's Son.There are not enough words or enough notes in the music.to tell the story of all the Savior has done
repeat chorus 2-3 times

looking back

Man at how everyone has changed. So many of us said we'd never loose touch and we never talk. Just looking back: your kinda glad its over but yet again you wish you could do and redo it all. Witness more, be a better friend, not care what size your house was-just have them over, and definetly laugh more. Its just more evident as I get older..as I look back-you can always do better.

As Always,
Joel and Victoria

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put awaylike bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.The good you do for others is good you do yourself...~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

life

The play went great. The familys doing good. Joel is still in nursing,...making gr8 on test even when he doesn't study. I'm trying to sell avon to help us out. Braxton and Ashton are growing so fast...braxton is laughing at movies already and ashton is in school...I feel so old. I just can't wait for Joel to get out of school so we can logically start thinking about kids. I'm trying to catch up on my sleep...haven't been sleeping well lately. Anyways we've been having it pretty hard but God is good and he'll take care of us!!

TRP presents ‘Smoke on the Mountain’

The Tallahatchie River Players will present the gospel comedy musical, "Smoke on the Mountain" on Oct. 8 and 9 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 11, at 2:00 p.m.The stage of the Cine’ theatre has been transformed into the sanctuary of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, near the Blue Ridge Mountains. The time is a Saturday night in June, 1938, during the period when the United States is in the last years of the Great Depression.Mount Pleasant’s principal industries are farming and pickle production. The Mount Pleasant Pickle Plant has lately begun laying people off at an alarming rate due to the economy. The factory makes everyone and everything in Mount Pleasant smell of vinegar and dill.Saturday Night Sings by families of gospel singers have become the much needed and highly appreciated entertainment of the time. The Sanders Family are appearing after a five-year hiatus from the gospel-singing circuit. They travel in an ancient bus with "The Sanders Family" hand-painted on the side.Starring in this production are some familiar faces along with some folks new to community theatre. Mark Garrett plays Burl Sanders, the daddy and leader of the Sanders Family. Ginger Harrell plays Vera Sanders, wife of Burl and the piano-playing, scripture-quoting mother. Bobby Irvin plays Stanley Sanders, the wayward brother who has returned home and the banjo player of the group. Victoria Willard and Hunter Searles play twins, Denise, who sings, and Dennis who sings and plays guitar. Leslie Gray plays the older daughter, June, whose contribution to the family is playing percussion instruments and signing because her mama says she needs the practice. Sam Brown plays Pastor Mervin Oglethorpe, a young and enthusiastic minister, who has enlisted the Sanders Family in his efforts to bring his tiny congregation into the "modern world." Tom Coltharp rounds out the cast as the cousin who adds his talent of playing the upright bass.The cast will take to the stage on Thursday, October 8, at 7:00 p.m., and Friday, October 9, at 7:00 p.m. There will be a matinee on Sunday, October 11, at 2:00 p.m. There will be no Saturday performance.

I just keep praying...I know the Lord can take my pain away physically and emotionally..and I keep praying...I know he'll provide for Joel and I and not let us go without but I HAVE to fully trust him...I keep praying that this week will be so wonderful that last week will just be a distant hill and not this avalanche falling on my heart....I keep praying that everyone will see the truth in every situation and whether they do or not-thats ok because I'm strong enough to handle it and know God knows the truth...I keep praying that no matter what family members leave me by choice or friends that I won't dwell on it but see what I've got left...like the ones I work with....And also I keep praying that no matter how awefully hard things get...I remember...if your pleasing the world your not pleasing God...if most are against you...your probably on track

The play will be thurs, friday, and sunday afternoon ..Oct 8,9,11....at the Magnolia civic center in NA...its based in a church back in 1930s....has tons of music and is a comedy. Its great...so excited.!! Joel will start RN school Tuesday..and got to go tomorrow for something just think of him as he'll always be driving.
