We got our 2nd dose of snow this
week. However, I do believe the fun is just beginning. I am trying to embrace
it by singing fun holiday songs, but in the back of my mind as I travel to work
I know this amount of snow would shut Alabama down for a whole week!
My job is still going really well!
Thanks for all your prayers out there-the Lord has blessed me with a great job
and a wonderful company to work for.
Sorry for my lack of blogging since
the start of my new job....shew the tub is lucky if it gets cleaned during
the week let alone me sitting down to gather my thoughts. But I do so desire to
keep everyone updated and share what's going on.
I actually got the opportunity to go
in to one of the local Cleveland schools this past Thursday. The opportunity came through
my job believe it or not! I was able to teach a class of 1st graders about
different topics including family, neighborhoods, and the value of a
degree. It was great to hear some of the kiddos tell me that God made their
family and that God has the power to do anything. This school was not religious
in the least. Nor was I allowed to make such statements. But I sure did a lot
of head nodding as they declared such sweet truths. May these kiddos never
doubt that they were created by God and that our God is powerful!
Please pray this would just be the
beginning of opportunities like that.
Tony and I also had the opportunity
on Halloween to meet some of our neighbors. We dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Waldo
as you can see below! We had 16 bags of candy, 7 batches of popcorn, a bowl of
doughnuts, and spiced tea for the adults-but we were still looking in the
pantry for candy before it was all said and done. Such a great opportunity to
see some of our neighbors.
Tony and I are finally getting in to
a normal routine of doing life in Cleveland. Now that we're settled the next
step is trying to find ways to engage people. We want to engage unbelieving
people to share the good new with them and we want to engage believers to come
along side us in our mission. We need your prayers friends for the Lord to
guide our steps and start a great work in people's hearts.
We have several other events coming
up such as a Game Day at the park this Saturday and a chili cook off our
development corporation is sponsoring the following Saturday. We covet your
prayers our friends and we will keep you updated!
How wonderful to hear about the works God is providing in your life. May He give you more doors to open in others lives. Being able to share the Lord's blessings to those around you. God bless you & Tony. Love from TN XOXOXOXO
