Same house, More souls

Last week I posted about Brandon Reed trusting Christ. I went back to His house Saturday to visit Him( he was not home), But I was able to lead Mis. Tina and her two children to the Lord at the same house. Praise God, He knew they would be there. My Pastor said something a few years ago in a sermon that I have not forgotten. He said something like this ( there is no accidental meeting of Gods Word with the lost). Praise God He uses people like us to spread His word.

Soul winning

This is Brandon Reed. I had the honor of showing Him the Gospel, and watching Him trust Christ this last Saturday. He told me He wanted to go to Heaven, but like so many people He believed He must be good to do so. Praise God that He did not require our goodness to get into Heaven, but that my sins are covered by the blood of the Lamb. Brandon was spending this past weekend with his family, but I am picking Him up for church this coming Sunday. God is good. Amen.

Arica's turn in the spotlight

I was just looking over our blog and thinking about our three kids Arica who is going to be 7 July 21st, Carter who will be 4 this summer, and Bailey who just turned 2. I was thinking mostly about Arica though, she is becoming a young lady and I think struggles the most of all three. She tries to help, but sometimes makes it worse. She has a big responsibility as the oldest child to do right, the other two follower her actions and attitude. I sometimes find myself being angry at her for her influence over the other kids, but then I have to remember she is only 6 and that it is not her responsibility to train the kids, it's mine. So this is just a special post to say "Arica I love you and hope nothing but the best for you, and that one day you will forget all my mistakes as a Father and just continue to Love people as they are, like you always have".

Bailey turns two!!

It is hard to believe but Bailey turned 2 on Thursday. She has been a blessing to our family and I'm thankful God gave her to us.

Andrew's wedding photos

I just wanted to share a few pictures from Andrew's wedding. Sorry it took so long to get them up but the modem for our computer went down and it took us a little while to get it replaced. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

The whole wedding party

Arica getting her hair done

Saturday morning we took Arica to the beauty shop to get her hair done for Andrew's wedding. She was nervous at first but did a good job sitting still and it turned out great.

Trip to Wisconsin

Here are a few pictures I snapped on our trip up to Wisconsin for my brother's wedding. It is a very long and hard trip especially for the kids but God is good and we made it there safely.

This is the sunrise I saw outside our hotel in
Perryville, Missouri at 5am

This is a picture of the Mississippi River. I
snapped it from a moving car on a rainy day
so hopefully it's not too blurry.

These are of  St. Louis, Missouri as we drove
by on the by-pass. It was as close as we got to
the arch but the kids enjoyed seeing it.

This is some of the countryside that we drove
through in Wisconsin. We ended up showing Arica
the apartment we lived in when she was born and
the first house Aaron and I lived in after we got married.
We were able to relive some wonderful memories on our
trip and share them with our children.
