I Love Veteran's

Happy Veteran's Day to all those who serve our country so faithfully. It was not long ago that my husband was active duty in the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. I am also very grateful to the men and women who serve our country. A shout out to all the spouses of veterans. I am so delighted that God allowed me to stand beside my hubby for all the years he was in the Corp. There were definitely some tough days, but I am so grateful for what I learned. I love military wives, we are specifically chosen for the job. It is not an easy on, especially being a wife of a Marine :-)! I think God used my live as a Marine wife to help shape me to be the woman of God I am. There is just a strength in a military wife that I do not always see in other women. No offense to the general female population. I am so thankful for the opportunity God has given me to be the wife of a Marine. I love you all! Again Happy Veteran's Day and don't forget to pray for all those who currently serve you and I.

Erkel, no it is Theodore!

It is Isaiah aka Theodore! Isaiah has a character that he made up for Youthquake Live and his name is Theodore. The kid is a super duper smart kid. The character is hilarious. I could not believe it the first time I saw my son in character. I am not kidding gut busting funny! Youthquake Live is a ministry for teens, by teens. They minister to hundreds of kids and literally see many many many teens get saved! Serving in Youthquake has been a blessing for my kids and a blessing to the hundreds of kids who come to the show.

Life Without A Refrigerator???

Strange topic, huh? But that has been our life. It is bad! Our refrigerator that we bought almost 2 years ago brand new...was a lemon from the start! It has been repair once for freezing everything. It worked okay for a while and then went back to freezing stuff again. Ever tried to scramble a frozen egg? Anyways so we called our warranty company...they said it was the COMPRESSOR, whatever that is...Willie acted like it was big so...it must be. They said the manufacturor has to fix it because it is under their warranty. So we called them they sent out their technician who verified it needed a COMPRESSOR! Then they said they had to order parts so they would fix the compressor but their warranty doesn't cover the ?damper? or the other stuff wrong. Therefore we need to call the other technician back. Willie called them and they won't fix it until the compressor is fixed. Are you still with me???? WE STILL DON'T HAVE A REFRIGERATOR! Anyways, so you can imagine what it is like around here...daily trips to the store. Thank God for Nathan being home with a college refrigerator and mom having a small fridge in her room! Be thankful in all things. Thank you Lord! Thought I would share.

Schools almost out....1 more day and the summer fun begins for Isaiah!

Family updates!

Well, I guess the 2 hottest topics in our family are....Isaiah has a mohawk and Nathan is dating! I am sure none of my old friends are shocked about Isaiah's new do...he is known for that. It has just been a while since he has had crazy hair...but it's back...check out the pictures. I know the fact that Nathan is dating is indeed a shock...yes he has a girlfriend(Scarlette). Nathan is home from his first year of college. It was a very good year....he did excellent! His father is not going to take him to the recruiter.(ha, ha) He is back at work at church doing the lights. Isaiah is going to be out for the summer on Friday. He has a big summer ahead of him. He is going to be volunteering at one of the local hospitals 16 hours a week, working with Nate's girlfriends' mom doing Clown stuff, and going to Peru the first week of August.

Willie and I are doing good! Nothing too exciting for us at the present moment, but it is coming we are sure! Willie and I are still serving at our church. We love our church and serving God! We know that God has BIG plans for our lives there and we are soooo excited!

Family Fun

Oh yeah,

Me, Willie and Isaiah recently went to Destin Florida. I had to go for a work. I was chosen to do a Leadership Institute! Great opportunity... I decided to take the family along, because it is so beautiful there and I wanted them to enjoy the experience. We had so much fun. While I was in class Willie and Isaiah did adventures all day. They spent time at some Airplane museum and hanging out on the beach. I joined the fun nightly after work. The had a great time. The picture is of us hanging out on the beach on Saturday. We nearly spent the whole day there and Willie doesn't even like the beach! It was great! I could live on the beach. Isaiah and I love it and I think Willie is starting to too. Where was Nathan, he packing at College to come home for the summer. I will fill you in on him later.

love and hugs,

p.s. you must admit I am off to a great start

My first blog post

Hello everyone,

I am gonna try this thing. I have been checking out blogspots and it is a really good thing. Being that the Johnson's have been a military family and it is hard to keep in touch with everyone, I figured I would try this. We can keep you all up-to date on the Johnson's. I probably have a lot to catch you up on....so I will write as I remember things that I did not tell you all and keep you up on currents. As you all know I have lots of stories and I will use this to tell you all lots of good ones with lessons I learned. If I get lazy and don't write let me know.

love and hugs,
lisa
