March 11^th, 2011

Howdy folks,

Well, winter is now behind us and spring is about to be in full swing! We are so blessed to be able to get up each day and see the beauty of the seasons unfold right before our eyes. Every season brings forth a variety of things that are different from the previous and we should be constantly reminded that God has a plan for everything that exists. HE is in control even though there are times that we just cannot see it.

Just a bit of “Great News” is the souls that have been saved already this year. Just a few weeks ago we were so blessed to have witnessed 10-15 souls saved and many others revived during a Sunday morning singing. This is very unusual, but when the Spirit of God moves and people are convicted unusual things happen. It is just awesome to be in the midst of such a time of worship and celebration.

And just last night (Sunday 3.06.2011) we had a tremendous “Ole time shouting ground” time of worship @ Gethsemane Baptist in Anderson SC and witnessed another salvation of an elder gentleman at the conclusion of the service. Of course, we are humbled that God would use us…but we understand that all the Glory goes to GOD!

As for an update on J.R. and Montez…they continue to have really had a rough time with their health. However, all things being considered they are doing pretty good. We still enjoy some good times together over the dinner table and just visiting when we get a chance. Janice is in constant contact with them so if you ever need an update you can contact her. We hope very much to have them attend the Anniversary Singing next month on April 16^th. Please pray that God will give J.R. the strength and voice to be able step back on stage to sing a few songs that night. We would like to extend a very personal “thank you” if you are one of those who continues to pray for them. Please keep it up!

Levi and Taylor continue to grow up right before my eyes. It seems like every weekend they get on the bus that Levi has gotten taller and Taylor a little prettier. Of course, they keep things exciting on the bus by just acting like all brothers and sisters that get cooped up in the same area for more than 10 minutes…we love’m! I just cherish the time that we have together because they will be grown and gone before we know it.

Jay Isaac is now a junior at Clemson University and is back at home for a while…and we love having him around. We have some tremendous times going to ballgames together, going out to eat, going to church together (when we get a chance) and just having some good conversations and fellowship from time to time. As you may already know, God has really blessed and anointed him to sing and he is now the Praise and Worship leader for the youth at Earles Grove Bpt church on Wednesday night. Just as a note you might want to mark your calendar for May29th…Jay Isaac and Kristen will be singing the entire evening service at Earles Grove Bpt church.

As for Kristen, Chad, Ayden and Asher…they are all doing well. Little Asher has just had his 1^st birthday party.

He is walking and climbing now…and you can’t take your eyes off of him…just a few weeks ago he was in the dining room and we got to looking around for him and we found him curled up under a table on a shelf with a potting plant on it.

Well, it’s baseball time again and Chad, Jay Isaac, Pop and Ayden have already took in about 5 games.

Ayden is a “ballaholic” and keeps, not only Pop, but Noonoo rolling, running or bouncing around on the floor all of the time when they are at the house…We are so excited that it’s finally getting warm and we can play outside! They are both just a bundle of blessing to Noonoo and Pop!

We have been so blessed to have Kristen to fill in singing for Jill some over the last month or so due to some voice
issues that Jill has been experiencing. She will also be filling in between March 20^th and April 10^th as Jill will be having some surgery. So, please pray for Jill’s quick and healthy recovery and also for Kristen as she sings for this period of time.

Nothing else is really new for Mike, Jill, Janice and myself…we are just trying our best to live for Jesus and are continuing to be blessed in our daily work and chores. God continues to be so good to us all! We have so much to be thankful for if we just look around each and every day. I realize that we all face different challenges, but God is faithful to meet each and every one. Let’s trust Him for our every need (Philippians 4:19).

We expect God to continue to do some tremendous work through us the rest of the year as long as we continue to be the clay in His Hands!

Let’s Continue to Win in 2010!

‘til next time,
Chris
