Finally Here!!

Hello everyone! We are finally moved. We are not in our new home officially yet but are on our way. We moved all our stuff into the garage and are waiting for the painter to finish with the painting of the house. Hopefully we will move in by Friday this week. We are still living at my parents house in PA and travel to NJ to work. I will be happy when this is all over and we can be settled in our new home. Ed and I stayed at the house last night to get the kids rooms together. Brianna and Matt's and ours are done but Peter's is still in the process and the rest of the house. God is teaching me patience in all this!! It's not easy!!! But I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. AMEN!!

Our move went nice and smooth last week!! My nephew's Chris & Josh showed up with the moving truck on Tuesday night about 6:30pm and we started packing it up by 8:00 and worked till about 10:30pm and got it almost done. THANKS to all the strong men and us women to who came out to help. We could of never got it done without them!! We then finish it up on Wednesday by 11:00am. Not everything fit so Peter and Ed need to make another run in August with my van to pick up the stuff that was left behind and close up the pool!! We were on the road by 1:00 and arrived in PA by 10:30pm. Thank God Peter went in the moving truck, so we had much more room for Shadow (our dog)!! He did great with the move!! He is still so confused poor thing!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers for us and our move. Please continue to pray for the sale of our home in Michigan!! GOD IS ABLE!! To all my Michigan friends, I miss you dearly and think of you often. I would love to hear from you.

God bless,
Doreen

Countdown!!

Today starts my countdown!! Ed will be home on Sunday evening, PRAISE THE LORD!! We will finish up last minute things around the house and we will be moving on Wednesday, July 18th, 5 years exactly to the date that we moved to Michigan!! Now that's some timing!!

Please pray along with us this week for a miracle on the sale of our home. There is a couple who are interested and will have an answer for us this Friday, 7/13. We know that our GOD IS ABLE!!

Well, I pray that this week goes by quickly as I finish up with the packing. If there is anyone out there who is not busy on Wednesday, July 18th we can use some muscles in packing the moving truck. We will start at 8:00am with donuts and coffee!!

Have a great week.

What a Week!

Well, we survived our last Family Camp at Wesleyan Woods campground. What an awesome time of fun, fellowship and good food!! Moe Diggs was back with us again this year for an incredible time of worship!! WOW! the holy spirit was moving in those services!!!

We were at our new site this year and it was great!! Lots of room for the kids and lots of privacy. Matthew had the time of his life hanging our with his buddies Michael, Gregory and Taylor!! The only time I saw him was when he was hungry. Peter spent his days basically hanging out with other PK's. I think God was disconnecting him from his usual group of friends!! (By the way, he is off to Youth camp this week at Houghton, NY). There were lots of new faces this year and many old ones.

There were many improvements made to the camp. They are even planning to put in a pool very soon. Sure, now that I am leaving. I had to settle with "Lake Itchy Scratchy". I wonder if Penn Jersey has a Family Camp!! We may have to start one.

Like always, it is good to be away but always great to come home to good water and a nice soft bed!
