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.

We arrived back at my parents house in Crossville, TN today. God was very good to us as we traveled all around the last 17 days. We have been blessed everywhere we went. It was so great to visit with family and friends. To meet new friends.

This past Sunday we enjoyed being at Blue Ridge Baptist Temple in Kansas City. It was great to see some of the people that had made the trip to Ecuador last summer. We also had the privilege of meeting the Taylor family. (They are Lexi's fiancee, Jonathan's family) I also had the opportunity to attend a bridal shower for Ashley and Shane that his family gave them. That was a lot of fun!

We are now looking forward to Mandie and baby Ioan arriving in the US next Thursday! Nana and Papa are getting very excited!

There are about 6 weeks left before we return to Ecuador. We have 5 more churches scheduled during this trip. Please pray as we travel during these next weeks. Also be praying as we prepare for Ashley and Shane's wedding the end of June. We are very thankful that all the details have come together.

The church in Manta, is in the process of looking for a new meeting place. Please be praying with us that God would lead them to the right place.

God Bless You!
Joy
