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.

Fall is here!

Teddy and I found our fall decorations and dragged them all out yesterday. We have fake pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns all around the house now. So even though it might not "feel" like fall down here on the equator, it certainly looks like fall in our house!

We are staying busy here. Friday we had 23 ladies who attended the Bible Studies. Everyone sees to be enjoying the study and the time of fellowship together. This morning we had over 90 in church. It is exciting to see the growth taking place in people's lives. This evening I met with the Sunday School teachers to start planning our Christmas Program. The child discipline class was well attended tonight. Please pray for many of our new christian parents, who are trying to learn to put into practice Christian principles of parenting.

After the Child Discipline class, we had a meeting with the Leadership Team.

This coming week we will be traveling to Santo Domingo. Tony will be involved in a Pastor's and Leader's retreat, Thursday-Saturday. Then Saturday we will travel on up to Quito to be there for a Farewell dinner and service for the Smith's.

Thank you for your prayers for our family and the ministry here in Manta.
God Bless you as you serve him this week.
Joy
