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.

It's the Middle of December....

It's the middle of December and there's excitement in the air!!!

We are gearing up for Christmas at the Anzalone house. The decorations are up. Classes are winding down. Oh and in the middle of all this excitement we received a call from our lawyer yesterday that our audience with the judge in Quito to finalize the adoptions is set for this Friday at 11:00am.

So today, we are working like crazy, to try and get the school work that needs to be completed this week finished...the candy bought for the Children's Christmas party which will be at the church this Saturday afternoon, and everything else packed up and ready to go. We plan to leave in the morning and head to Santo Domingo, where will be spend the afternoon and evening with our friends the Wells. From there we will head to Quito on Thursday, and stay Thursday night and Friday night with our friends there, Glenn and Sherri McGhee.

We really appreciate your prayers as we make this final step to finalize the adoptions. Please pray for safety as we travel. Tony still does not have a valid driver's license, but he has papers that say that he did have a valid license and that we are working on getting a new one. They told him to show those papers if we have a problem...hopefully that will do the trick. Appreciate your prayers about that, too! :-)

This Saturday afternoon from 3-5 is our Children's Christmas Party at church. Then Sunday afternoon, the ladies are going to have their Christmas Party. Please pray for both of these activities, that God will be glorified and that they will be a blessing and encouragement to others.

Blessings on you and your family as you seek to serve Christ, this week!
