Clint had his first review in his new position and it was full of high praises! His boss and his men love the 2023 goals Clint has set for the maintenance department. Please ask the Lord to bless his work and help him move forward to iron out the kinks that are so frustrating to the people who work there. He and I were able to get away for a long weekend this month.
Brandon is LOVING his new job, the company car, the free meals, and hotel stays. He stays in four and five star hotels which is another nice perk. He gets so much allowance for food that it pays for his meals when he is not traveling too. He is paid from the moment he leaves his house until he checks into the hotel. With the money he will be making, he plans to pay off his house and purchase another. When he travels, he enables our family to track him through GPS which is a family habit we all have. He has been doing work for our country in one facility. He is not allowed to take pictures or talk about it. He will get a visit to his home if he does. He will go into NC for a month soon if all goes as planned. Please pray for travel mercies for our son. He has 12-14 hour drives he does all in one day. He also has to make decisions about his house. During the time he is home, he takes training classes for the next job.
Amanda's new car is better than she expected. She is thoroughly enjoying it! I was the first person she allowed to drive it. It has A LOT of pep! Please ask the Lord to keep her safe. If you remember, a deer jumped in front of her on the first full day of her owning her last car.
Life repairing RVs is going along well for Joshua who is adjusting to his new job. He said he enjoyed seeing how nice the pricey RVs were for a while but now it's "all the same." He tests new units from bow to stern inside and out. If something is not right, he works to get it corrected before the customer, which is usually someone flying or driving across the country, arrives to take possession. He's also been doing some maintenance to his pick-up.
Caleb is in love. We enjoyed our day out with Abby and found her to be a polite and well-rounded young lady with some terrific character qualities. The first moment I laid eyes on her, I played a joke on her at Caleb's expense. She threw her head all the way back and laughed from deep in her belly. I thought, "She's going to hold her own with us!" We took her off-roading and let her drive. She LOVED it!! Please keep them in prayer as they seek God's will for their relationship.
Bethany has been joining us every week for Bible study and worship. We are enjoying "visiting" with her every week. She asks for prayer for safety as she travels the red line. The red line is 26 miles long. She does not go through the worst part, but she is on it late at night. She says there are A LOT of homeless people who sleep on the trains all night. Some of them seem OK, but some are very sketchy.
Emily turned 15 in July and is more than halfway through her high school course! She will start driver's ed next winter, but she already has a bit of experience driving on our farm and on off-roads where there is no risk of meeting another driver. Caleb gets her to move his vehicles around too.
Hannah's dog, Mercury, is going to have puppies!! With the timing of our family vacation, it's going to be very interesting but we can handle it. There is never a dull moment around here! Hannah asks that you please pray all goes well for her precious Mercury.
I made my first trip to Kentucky! I hope to start doing some painting in my kitchen. It is getting a color makeover. Then will touch up the trim inside the rest of our home. I am thankful fall is around the corner so I can catch up on the yard work. I may grow some collards for fall, but that will probably be all I do.
How can we pray for you? If you are new, our email is in the header.
