God is So Good

Well, this past Sunday we were in McKinney at Hertage Assembly of God with Pastor MacLaughlin. We enjoyed our time there very much, getting see familiar faces, and getting to know new ones. It's always fun getting to meet new people in different churches.

We were busy this week with booking services, writing thank you notes(which always reminds us of how good God is), and potty training Griffin. :) We are pleased to say that he seems to be catching on quite quickly...especially when dum dum suckers as a reward were introduced. Hopefully the damage to his teeth will be minimal. :)

Wednesday, the pastor from McKinney Worship Center took Randy and Hudson to lunch, then had the tires and break pads on our van replaced. It was such a blessing! Then Hudson went to his house and hung out with his sons. It sounds like they played guitar, piano, and talked about whatever teenage boys talk about. :) Hudson also went to youth with them that night...it is still hard to believe he's old enough to do that sort of thing....but he had a good time.

Last night we attended a sectional family fellowship dinner. We enjoyed fried chicken, and good company. :) It was so nice to see some of the pastors and church leaders that we have had servcies with. Traveling has afforded us the chance to get to know so many in our section much better than we did before. As we all said good bye, Griffin went on his usual round of hugs tour. I'm pretty sure he sees everyone as family...we are glad about this. :)

Today we head out for Hardy, Arkansas. We have really been looking forward to this church, as it was planted by good family friends, Stan and DeAnna Jones. We can't wait to see them!!! We will leave this evening, stopping in Texarakana to see Randy's family. It will be good to see them, it's been a while! Normally the trip would be a little over 7 hours, but with Ella and her dislike for travelling in more than 1 hour intervals, and Griffin and his new ability to use a toilette, it will likely take us much longer. :)

As always, God is providing in amazing ways. The pledges keep coming in, sometimes from people we don't know, and sometimes from wonderful churches that we have gotten to know over the last few months. We stand in awe of all that God has done for us. We are so blessed! Thank you for all your prayers and support. We appreciate it so very much!!!
