Bandstra's Visit

We had a great time visiting with Brad and Rachel Bandsta and their new little girl Bri. Brad builds planes and Rach is a stay at home mom.

Deep into a discussion.

Rach and Bri.

Thanks for coming over guys. We love ya'll!

We thank God for all the many blessings he has given us. Especially the "Little Man"!

Here is a picture of all of us.

Here he is with the love of my life. He is growing up to fast.

He likes to ride on the dirt bike with Poppy.

Life is great. Sometimes I think that things are difficult. Sometimes I get so consumed by circumstances that are around me. I have to stop and realize who is in control. Good or bad! Everything I have is His. To borrow a line from George Younce, "Who owns the cattle on a thousand hills", nobody but my Lord!

Thank you Jesus for saving me. All the glory belongs to Him.

Ethan's First Lizard

Ethan discovered lizards and found them quite amusing! He had all of us laughing.

As you can see, he only knows how to hold on to the tail.

Here it Goes

Alright this is the first time I have done a blog (Krysten has done this several times, but this is my first)… My friend said it is therapeutic. We’ll see!!!

God is so good to me. He has blessed me far beyond my dreams. Apart from Him we are nothing. I am trying to be a blessing to all I come in contact with. It is extremely hard sometimes when this world loves to see you fail and fall flat on your face. But we have to remember that this world is not our home. We are going to a place far better than this.

Thank you Jesus for your grace and sufficiency!
