October has come and gone……

Kristen & Jeremy.

With my husband being in Chengdu, China, ministering to the underground church along with Flint and Jack, it leaves me kind of in charge around here.  Not something I really love as it does require some responsibility that I am not always confident in doing.  BUT GOD….. people see me as a confident person but no… humblyI admit that is only by the grace of God can I do anything!  Our Wild West Fall Fest was a great success at the church and I thank God for the amazing gifts the Lord has placed in my daughter, Kristen and her hubby, Jeremy, to do such great things for the Lord!  Wow, blessed – husband in China, teaching and training, kids here ministering for the Lord and me fulfilling the call of the Kingdom – I am blessed, what can I say!!!  Not without some tests along the way.  The night before the guys were leaving, my hubby goes out to shuffle vehicles so that he has the SUV ready out in the drive to zoom off to the airport at 4:45am the next morning.  Dead car!!  Not a good thing as we are not mechanics.  After placing the battery charger on the appropriate prongs, bingo, the vehicle starts the next morning.  Come to find out that someone had not closed the back hatch all the way, which promptly ran the battery down!   Not to my surprise, a few days before my hubby was to leave, our water pressure in the house becomes chronic, as in ‘none’!  He leaves it in my hands to deal with, thanks….. I was convinced that it was the water softener but was promptly told no by all advisers, it has to be a leak somewhere in the yard.  Called a plumber or two but was not convinced that one was needed especially seeing that just coming out to take a look would cost over $100.00, that I could really spend somewhere else.  I then called the city of RR and they send the water department out within 30 minutes and had the problem fixed in 3 minutes!!!  Yes, it was the water softener which still lays dead in the garage but thanks to a bypass switch that the kind gentleman from the water department told me about, we can now shower and rinse the shampoo out of our hair  – yeah, I love it when I am right 🙂
