Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

About Me

Crossville, Tennessee, United States
I am a 61 year old, wife, married to my best friend for 40 years. We have been blessed with 6 children, & 13 grandchildren. I love mentoring women in their spritual walk & in the everyday. I have a diverse background, having spent over 30 years living and ministering in a small South American country. Now my family resides in a small town in the lovely state of Tennessee. We have experienced the blessing of adoption, but also the hard of dealing with a child with RAD and other mental health issues. You can live life with the cup half full or half empty the choice is yours. I choose half full.

Home Safe and Sound!

We had a good trip home from Quito on Saturday. We left there a little after 6:00 in the morning. Stopped by the Well's house to visit with Sylvia for a little bit. (Joe had left earlier for a trip to Portoviejo). It was a nice break. She had breakfast and coffee waiting for us! The car ran great all the way home, and we got into Manta, around 2:00 in the afternoon.

Services yesterday went well. We had one first time visitor in the church service. Our Sunday School attendance was a little down, at 54, but we had 79 in church. Please pray for wisdom as we try and decide about what to do with our adult class. We have started to lose a little ground with them, since we combined the men's and ladies classes. The problem now is that we aren't sure how to divide them back up in the space we have.

Special prayer requests this week...

Please continue to pray for Zonia. She wasn't able to be at church yesterday. We don't have any details, but her sister told me on the way out of church yesterday that the chemo hasn't been working and that they are talking about another surgery.

Also continue to pray for property to build on.

Thank you for your prayers for our family and for the ministry here in Manta.
Blessings on your week!
Joy
