Tagged!

Ok, I swore I posted this. My brain has been gone for the last two months with how busy we've been! I promise after this week, I will be a bloggin' again!!! Lots and lots to update!

I was tagged by Valerie. So here I go! The object of the picture tag is to:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder

3) Explain the picture

4) Tag 4 people to do the same...NO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)



This is last March at Little Jon's 'little brother' Ty's birthday party! It was a fun art party! In the back you can see Ty and his other friend Jace. :o) I can't believe Ty will be three in a few months...where is the time going?

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season and Happy New Year!!!

A strong plea to my prayerful friends...

I have a very very dear friend that is sick right now. I am begging for prayers for Brad Wims, his wife Jenny and their two beautiful children. I spent the summer of 98' traveling across Southeast Asia doing mission work with Brad and Jenny in college. Brad's wit and humor always had us rolling with laughter...but there is one memory of that trip I will never forget. It was climbing one of the tallest mountains in SE Asia (Mt. Kinabalu in Malaysia). I was NOT in the shape I should have been to attempt such a climb, and as we neared camp climbing up and were literally in the cloud bank, I passed out. I woke up in Brad's strong arms as he helped carry me as far as he could until I could gain enough strength to carry on...That was one of the most difficult and defining experiences in my life. On our decent the next day, I had a quarter of a mile left to go and my legs became rubber and gave out. I literally could not feel them or move them. I sadly knew what it felt like to be a parapalygic. Brad once again, carried me on his back the rest of the way down and put me in the van waiting...

As I see this strong man lose strength, my heart is hurting for him and his family. I have faith that God will see him through this...So please, pray for him. They need it so badly right now...
