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.

The bags are packed and we're ready to go...

Good Morning! It is 8:30 on a chilly, overcast morning here in Central Florida. I am sitting at the kitchen table, thinking that, Lord willing, tomorrow morning I will be sitting in sunny, warm Ecuador, enjoying rolls and Cafe con Leche!

We have had a wonderful trip in this time. It was so good to have time with the girls and my parents. Also to have a few days with Tony's mom, and to visit with his Dad, Cindy and CG. The church here in Altamonte has been so gracious and generous to us as always. We have thoroughly enjoyed having the use of the Missions House and being able to visit with good friends. It was also great to visit a few of our supporting churches. 2 of which, although they have supported us from almost the beginning of our ministry, I had never had the opportunity to visit.

As you go through your day today and tomorrow, we would appreciate your prayers for safety as we travel. Our flight is suppose to leave Orlando at 4:00 this afternoon and we are scheduled to arrive in Guayaquil at 10:30 tonight. Darwin, from the church in Manta, is suppose to pick us up from our hotel tomorrow around noon, and drive us back to Manta. We are hoping to be home late tomorrow afternoon.

Also please be praying as we prepare for Sunday services there in Manta.
Praying God's blessings on you as you serve him!
Joy
