Yep, it has been WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY to long since I’ve been over here to do an entry.  I knew that I needed to come do one, and I’ve been meaning to get it done for a “couple” of weeks now, but I didn’t realize it had been almost 2 months since my last entry over here.  Forgive my absence, as life has been whizzing by at a lightning speed lately.  Lots of appointments, lots of other goings-ons, and lots of stress, not to mention trying to keep up with the day-to-day things like keeping the housework done and such.  It seems like my days are WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to long sometimes, as it is, and I STILL need about another 15 hours in my days!!!

I have been reading my Bible fairly faithfully the last couple of months.  It seems that that is about the only place to turn that MIGHT have some of the answers that I’ve been seeking, because no one down here seems to be able to tell me much.  I’ve noticed, though, as I read my Bible and such and as I pray and recite Scriptures that I’ve memorized over the last few months that I seem to be more confident in what is going to happen.  I’m not as filled with doubts and fears like I was!!!  God has given me a “peace that passes ALL understanding”!!!  NOW, if we can just hang on to that…and have it CONTINUE to build, no one and nothing will be able to stop us!!!  Of course, I have to admit that some of that peace probably comes from having a Pastor across the street again!!!  This guy is GREAT!!!  He’s always got a minute to ask how things are going.  He always has a word of encouragement.  And he’s got a sense of humor too, which helps on the days when things aren’t going all that great!!!  I have to admit, even though I’m not an official member of the church here, that I have been thanking God for bringing this Pastor and his wife to this community!!!  I just hope he knows how much his words of encouragement mean to me some days!!!  Thank you, Pastor!!!  And God BLESS you and your wife!!!
