It's almost over

November that is. I cannot believe how time is flying. We have been so crazy busy this month with no end in sight. Church keeps us hopping. Phillip just got back from going to Chicago to get a bus. I have been working and we have been enjoying developing relationships with new friends. It has been amazing. We have been here 3 months and it seems like we have been here forever. It is so apparent that God has placed us here. What an awesome feeling.

We have celebrated all of our birthdays now. We actually had Kaylee's last weekend because she wanted to ride horses and we thought it would be warmer inn November. We were wrong but the kids had a blast. We also roasted hot dogs and made smores. It was a hit. Pics to come. We are having a wonderful time and Christmas is comimg and that is my favorite time of year. I usually have all my Christmas shopping done by now and I think I have maybe 4 presents. Luckily we have decreased our number of gifts by drawing names or just buying for kids. We are trying to keep in perspective why we celebrate Christmas.

On another note, I asked Kaylee what she wanted Santa to bring her. She said she wasn't going to tell me because she wanted me to be surprised too. Boy was she going to be surprised. We have gotten her to agree that Santa has deeper pockets than we do and to ask for a playhouse that we got on sale. Have a great Thanksgiving if I don't post again before then.

My God Is Still God!!

Well it would appear, unfortunately, that Obama has won the presidency. I have been praying for a long time that the man that needed to be in office would be there. I think that we put too much power in our president. When has a president ever been able to do all the things he promises to do anyway. I know in my heart that God is more powerful than any president ever will be. Just think if Christians would become as impassioned about their relationship with Christ as they have been about the election. Think about the things we could change just by becoming the disciples Jesus has commanded us to be. Don't get me wrong, I am nervous about the state that our nation is going to be in at this time next year but I also know that the Lord says not to worry about tomorrow. He also says that nothing is impossible with Him and that He is with us always. What a comfort when things don't go the way that we feel they should go.

On another note, I thought I would update on the affairs of our broken house. I am about to take a bath in a bathtub that does not leak. I just finished doing laundry in a W/D that work and make things smell so good. I washed dishes in a dish washer that cleans dishes this am. I have cold milk. My phone does not ring--not sure why not and my vacuum cleaner won't spin. Not bad over all.

God is Good and He is all the Time!!
