Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Boy What a Long Time!!

Boy it was been a long time since either of us has posted anything! We have extermely busy! Since the last post we have moved, and it is one of the biggest blessing of last year. It seemed like we had given up so much to move to Texas, and for Scott to Pastor the church. But, in reality God gave us so much more!! I have been so happy since we have moved in. I have a kitchen that I am able to really cook in and it has been great spending time in there! Scott, said shortly after we had moved in that "it seems like all we do is spend time in the kitchen", and I said I think it's great!
For Thanksgiving we were blessed to have Scott's neice and her family come and spend a couple of day with us!! We had lots of fun with Roger, Mindy and the kids. During this time I was given a new title which was Grandma. That was okay, it may be the only way that I am Grandma!
Two weeks after that we were blessed to have missionaries come and stay with us. We were previlaged to have them come and stay with us and it is one more perk of having our house!! The weekend that they were here, we had our Adult Christmas activity. Instead of the normal party with people fighting over a gift, we went to Marshall and we're able to see the beautiful Christmas lights! We had the church van full, plus 10 other people who ended up riding in cars. We had a great time of fellowship over dinner together, and then walking around, watching people ice skate, and children wanting to see Santa, there were also a few adults (from our group, who will remain nameless (one of them was me)) We all had a great time togethe, and it may be something that we do again, or maybe we will change it around to where we go. Then we had our first Christmas Program, and we had a wonderful turn out. We almost ran out of food for the fellowship time afterwards. It was a great time and all of our people did a wonderful job! Christmas we were able to go to Houston and spend a couple of days with Mindy's family once again. It was a real blessing, Mike and Scott were able to see one another after several years of not being able to do so. It was a Great Christmas, and it was good to be able to spend that time with family. New Year's eve we invited all the church people to come over and help us celebrate the New Year with us! It was a great time with everyone, and it will be something that we will do again sometime in the near future! Everyone really had a great time, and I did too! Such a blessing to have them over, and to be able to share the house with them, that they have provided for us! God has truly blessed us with many wonderful people in the church, and they are lots of fun to hang out with as well as to serve the Lord with! the New Year has been great so far and we are looking forward to what the Lord is going to do with us and also with Faith Baptist Church! We are expecting great things. I guess that is all for now, I pray that the next time that we are able to write, that we will have more blessings to share of what the Lord is doing in our lives!!
