IN KENTUCKY

We are in Carrollton, Kentucky now. We will be here for a week and will probably be coming back next week. We are at Open Door Baptist church. They have been adding on to their church.. They have added a whole new building for Sunday school rooms and a new auditorium. They are in the sheet rocking stages now. SO there is alot of work to be done.. We hope the time that we are here we are able to help get alot done. Jon Caden wasn't feeling the best when we got here and the drive just made is worst.. He still is even 80% back yet. Now I am sick.. I was up all night with a virus or something. So he and I are in the hotel today just taking it easy...
UPDATE: We are leaving out Friday and will be driving to Michigan. That is where the fifth wheel is.. This one really just sounds to good to be true. But our God can do these kind of things. So if it is what the pictures say and the man is telling us then we will be coming home with it. It is about $7,000.00 - $8,000.00 cheaper than we can find that exact camper anywhere... So say a little prayer please... God is really working and we are so THANKFUL!! **** Jodi

God Blesses In trying times...

Just a quick post.. Most of you know that we have been trying to buy a camper.. Well, it just seems that nothing is working right.. We have tried to sell practically everything that we don't need to raise money buy one. We have sold alot of things but our big items just aren't selling. To be honest we have kinda just hit rock bottom I guess you could say. We have found the camper and have perfect peace about buying it, but we are just waiting on the Lord. Today, I got a call from a dear friend and said that she wanted to stop something but my house. We had no idea what it was. Let me just tell you it was a major blessing to us. They are a special family for sure! I truly believe that that was God saying "Jon & Jodi I have never left. And just because you don't see exactly the way I do, I am making a way for you and my way is in your perfect will". God never forsakes his children. I just wanted to give him praise today. My favorite verses are Proverbs 3:5-6! He will direct our paths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
