A mini date

2011-09-02T14:04:00.000-07:00

While our apartment was being sprayed for bedbugs (yuck) Mark and I went on a mini date

to the Winslow Lake. As you can see if wasn't so muddy, it would've looked alot better.

I also took a picture of a lizard that just laid there and let me take his picture. Then scurried off to find another shady spot.

Many things have happened in the last year that are to numerous to mention. I will say this, the Lord has blessed us with just what we needed when we have needed it!!! :)

God Bless!

First Day of School

First Day of School

August 9, 2010

On this day Rachel is entering into 4th grade and Joshua is entering 2nd grade. This was taken
at Joshua's school, while Rachel is going to a different school. For you in California, Rachel's school
is like a middle school.

We as a family hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Petrified Forest taken August 6, 2010

Mark and I wanted to take the kids to something that was really interesting and this was our choice. We are amazed at God's handiwork in the painted desert as well as His handiwork in the above logs of wood.

May you all have a blessed day! :)

Kids in Softball and T-ball

2010-04-23T21:42:00.000-07:00

Boy it's been a while since I last posted.

Rachel is now in softball and has her first game tomorrow at 1pm. Joshua is now in T-ball. I have some pictures of him playing, will get some of Rachel tomorrow.

Mark is working Sunday through Thursday now. He will be able to go to a few of Rachel's games and two or three of Joshua's that land either on a Friday or Saturday.

Rachel will celebrate her ninth birthday a week from Monday. The time is flying by.

I will post some pictures of Softball and T-ball when I have them.

Love to all,

Debbie and Family

Answer to Prayer

2009-08-04T15:18:00.000-07:00

Mark has been working Thursday through Monday's at Wal-Mart, which has really cut into his time to be at church, so this past week a co-worker traded with him so that she could spend time with her dad who is ill, please pray for that. Anyway, starting this weekend Mark will have Saturday and Sunday's off. This is definitely an answer to prayer.

As for the kids, I feel like the neighborhood mom, that has the neighborhood kids congregating to on a regular basis. I reflected this morning of how the kids come here, where Christ is shown. Pray for us as we minister to the neighboring kids and their families.

Thank you for all your prayers, we feel them constantly.

Take Care and God Bless,

We will be spending time with each other as a family for the next month or two. We will be without a computer for a couple of months.

We are now in the new apartment and are loving every bit of it.

I saw a sparrow this morning and it still reminds me that if the LORD can take care of the sparrows, He can surely take care of me and my family.

God Bless,

Debbie

moving to our own place

2009-06-16T21:57:00.000-07:00

Today, we were able to get the keys to our new apartment. Yeah!

We have been spending three months in a motel, needless to say we were crowding each other.

Pictures will be up when I can get a disposable camera then put the pictures on CD.

Hope you all have a great day and evening! :)

God Bless,

Debbie and Family

Cloudy

2009-05-18T20:25:00.000-07:00

Rain came in today, not much of it but the air sure smelled good!

Lately it has been close to 100 or over here, the rain was a true blessing! :)

Humble Pie

2009-04-26T21:31:00.000-07:00

I have had an interesting few days. The Lord is working in my heart like you wouldn't believe.

I have now sat and continue to sit where my step-daughters are in relation to finances. I scoffed inside because I felt that if you had the resources you could survive. Not so, when you look at your life from a different perspective, God's.

I thank the Heavenly Father almost daily for my parents who showed what it meant to tithe ten percent of your income. We had money sure but my father crimped and saved so that he could make my growing up years better than his own.

I now understand why my husband said that I was spoiled rotten to a point because I took money issues for granted, I just knew the money was going to be there no matter what, but these past two months has been humbling for me. I feel like I have been eating humble pie and crow.

I want to share a part of a devotion that really spoke to me these last few days from Jon Courson's devotional 'A Day's Journey'. I am going to summarize parts of it so bare with me.

Before he began his ministry Ezekiel was grabbed by the hand of the Lord. He was directed by God to sit with the captives before he gave his message of judgement.(Ezekiel 3) Jesus also came down from heaven as a tiny baby to live among us and to grow into the man that would do what His Father asked of Him. (Luke 2-24) As Jesus grew He was tempted just like we are on a daily basis.

Isn't it awesome to know that we have Jesus to lean on when we are tempted, struggling or just awed by His presence because He went through all of it to minister to a person just like me.

I pray as you and I go through our daily lives that we remember when we are ministiring to the lost ask this question: Are you willing to go to the trenches and a witness to people around you? Or are you going to sit on the sidelines?

Dear Lord,

As I go through this daily walk with You help me not be on the sidelines but to be in the trenches.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

God Bless,

Debbie

Made it to Arizona

2009-04-23T18:38:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

We made it Arizona.

As some of you may know we moved to Winslow, AZ in February. Mark was able to get a job here in town. He started for Wal-Mart, and is working the grave yard shift.

I will post more later. Just wanted to let you know that we made it.

God Bless,

Debbie
