Pressing On!

We had a great day in these churches in TN today. The Spirit moved and they gave us very generous love offerings. However, we have done lots of traveling. We are now in VA and are headed to my mother-in-laws for the week. Our meeting on Wed. is only an hour from her house. Joshua will get to see Grandma.

Granny Dot is doing a little better. Thanks so much for your prayers! She is awake but still very sick. Keep praying. The Lord is answering our prayers!

Last year we had several meetings close to home and were able to travel back and forth more often. I am still getting used to hardly ever being at home. I know it is getting me ready for the field. I am still praying that God will give me grace as we get closer to moving. This is something I could never do on my own.

By the way, Joshua is now reaching for us when he wants us, taking his pacifier out of his mouth and putting it in again, and I believe he will be sitting up on his own very soon. :)

Granny Dot-Prayer Request

My Grandma is almost 83 years old and has served the Lord for many years. She has been faithfully teaching 2-3 year olds in Sunday School at Old Suwanee Baptist for the last ? years. Over 30, maybe 40 or 50. She has also worked with the Sparks in Awana for about the same amount of time. She loves children and she LOVES the Lord Jesus. She is a role-model to me.

Right now she is in the hospital. She went in with severe pain in her neck and now that seems to be the least of her worries. She has pneumonia and her kidneys are not filtering her blood correctly (although this has improved some, thank the Lord). She has been sleeping the last two days and barely awakes to eat a bite. The doctors do not understand why she is unable to wake up. Your prayers for her are greatly appreciated.

Right now we are in TN and will be going to VA, OH, and back to TN. We will be home for a day or two next month. Pray for me as I long to be by Granny's side.
