Keeping our eyes on Jesus

Anna was incredibly sleepy after church this morning. But she refused to go to sleep. She was screaming and crying insistent that she wanted something else. Funny thing happened though, every time I could get her to look me in the eyes she quit crying. Every time her attention strayed from me and whatever I was trying to get her to focus on, she started crying again. Eventually, I was able to get her to go to sleep. I guess the moral of the story is, if we just focus on what our Father wants us to focus on, we will be a lot better off. Just keep your eyes on Him.

Rough Week

We have had kind of a rough week around here. Kelley had a muscle in her back that was giving her a lot of pain. So bad that she couldn't walk by herself, and that she passed out a few times. I stayed home from work one day to take care of Anna. Praise the Lord she is doing better now. We are thankful that it turned out just to be a muscle and nothing more serious.

We had a good service at church Thurs. night. The Holy Ghost came down and touched us. I am thankful for the work He will continue to do in our hearts if we will just seek Him. Please be in prayer for our church as we continue to strive to reach our community with the gospel. We are working on making our church more user friendly to new people, and making sure the ways we are reaching out to people meet them where they are.

Strive to walk in His Way.

New Baby on the Way!

Well, we had a trip to the ER Friday due to Kelley experiencing very sharp pains. During the course of trying to figure out what was wrong(nothing, or if there was something God answered the prayers and healed her)they ran blood work tests, one of which was a pregnancy. So they promptly(as prompt as an ER waiting on lab work can be I guess) came back and told us that the pregnancy test was positive! We were planning on waiting another month or two to not interrupt our General Assembly plans. However, we had also just decided to leave things up to God. So, God had different plans than we did. Kelley is only about 1 week along. So, I think we are shooting for around the end of Sept. beginning of Oct.

In other news, I think we are seriously considering going to Youth Camp this year. Even though Kelley will probably be about 5 months pregnant, since it will possibly be in June, it will be somewhat cool still hopefully.

Please continue to pray for Terry.
