Christmas!!

I am so excited about Christmas this year. I actually put up my tree before Thanksgiving. It is so much more fun when you have a child to share it with. Of course, Joshua isn't old enough to understand what is going on, but soon he will. I thank the Lord for His precious gift, the Lord Jesus! As a parent, I think about the joy that Mary must of felt when she had Jesus. Wow, what a privilege. I can't really understand why God humbled Himself and came to earth to live a perfect life and die on a rugged cross for my sin, but I'm glad He did. I thank the Lord for saving my soul!

As this time of the year approaches, I can't help but think about the Christmases I will be away from my family and friends. It saddens me. I don't really know how I am going to handle it. I pray that I will be able to hold it together, especially for my husband and my son. I would appreciate your prayers.

Life

I can't believe that I haven't written in so long. I will try to write more often. We have been in meetings close to home this month and have been able to visit with family and friends. It has been nice. The Lord has blessed, as David has been faithful in making phone calls, and had given us several meetings.

I thank the Lord for my wonderful husband! Monday was our anniversary! We celebrated this past Saturday and had a great time. However, it was the first time I left Joshua. He was with my mom, so I knew He was fine, but I missed him. I cried.

Sunday night we went to a Church and the service really touched my heart. The preacher preached out of Philippians 4. He said to claim verse 13, we must meet some requirements in the beginning of the passage. He said the first one was to stand fast. I pray that the Lord will help me to stand fast in the word and prayer and witnessing. I pray that I will do my part and stay in His will so that He will strengthen me so that I can do all things.
