Big NEWS!!!!

Well, here it is...Willie and I are going into full-time Ministry on August 15th! We are super excited and praising God! Many of you have prayed for us forever, and saw this coming way before we did! We are so grateful for the prayers and encouragement. Many of you have just blessed our lives tremendously. We are eternally grateful for your love, support and prayers and covet more as we begin to do move into full-time ministry. Willie and I are going to be the Children's Pastors at our church. For all the Washington people, please let our Emmanuel children know, I think my fourth grade Sunday school girls will love it! We can't wait to see what God is going to do with our lives. Willie and I have both informed our current employers and though they hate to see us go...have encouraged us. God is so good and we love serving Him!!!!

I'm Back!!!

Whoa, what have I been up to that I have not been bloggin'. I have been so busy at work!!!!Oh my! Anyways I am back. I will have some really exciting news to announce soon.....so stay tuned. Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote....the biggest being Willie and I celebrated out 21st anniverary on May 31st. I am so blessed to have Willie as the Priest of my home! It is all good! We, just like many of the other married peeps out there have had our struggles, but God has sustained our marriage and I am so grateful! It is so funny, because many of you know Will and I are not like "flashy" we got fun presents this year. One of my presents was a Nintendo DS. It was hilarious!! We are so addicted...I thought it was mine but Willie has kind of taken over! When we were first married and got our first place in housing, our neighbors had a Ninetendo. We spent hours with them playing their Ninetendo until we could afford our own. Well guess what Super Mario Brother are back. Nathan and Isaiah get a real kick out of me playing Super Mario.

Okay, I am up to some more spiritual stuff, one being I will be leading a small womens group this summer. We will be doing Priscilla Shirer's study, "Discerning the Voice of God." Boy do we need to be able to recognize the voice of God in our lives. His sheep know His Voice! I am really excited!

Mama is good, she is so excited she got a cell phone from my sister for Mother's Day! She is so cute, she's 83 so she gets real confused...she asks me on a regular basis if it is on or off. The boys are good. Nathan and Scarlette celebrated their 4 month anniversay yesterday. Isaiah is starting at Shands as a Volunteer on Tuesday. He will be a transporter. I am sure he will have some stories...I told him no raising seniors in wheelchairs.

Well, I will be back soon with BIG NEWS!!! No I am not pregnant...

love and hugs, lisa
