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.

Weekly Update

I pray that each of you had a wonderful Lord's day! Teddy and I had a great day. We are enjoying being a part of the Missions Conference at Southside Baptist church in Knoxville. This morning I had the opportunity to share my testimony with the "20's and 30's" class. Then during church, they had each of the missionaries come forward as they shared a little bit of our background and then they thanked us for being their missionaries.

I talked with Tony this afternoon and he told me they had a great service in Manta this morning. There were 85 present in the church service. He wasn't sure when we talked what the Sunday School attendance had been, but was excited because Darwin and Jessica had 6 teens in their class this morning! Nelly and Cristobal's son and daughter attended the Youth Group Saturday afternoon, and both of them told Tony that they really enjoyed it and plan to come back! He also told me that they had 1 first time visitor this morning, an elderly man that has been attending the small group meeting on Wednesday evenings at Gonzalo and Aday's house.

Teddy and I are having a special treat. Ashley and Shane have made the trip from Springfield to visit us this week. We are enjoying having some time with them.

Thank you for your prayers for the ministry in Manta. Please keep Teddy and I in your prayers and the Missions conference here. I will be sharing with the church on Tuesday evening and showing a short DVD that Tony made for me about the work in Manta. Pray also for each of our children. Mandie and Mike, Ashley, Lexi and Teddy. Pray for Tony as he continues the work in Manta, alone these days.

I pray that you have a wonderful week and see the blessings of the Lord upon your life.

Joy
