Alyson Dawn Turns 1 on October 30th!!!

(To enlarge photo simply 'click' on it.) As you've read in our 'Older Posts', we celebrated Alyson's FIRST Birthday this past Saturday, due to the fact that we'll be in Revival during her actual Birthday.

We had a FABULOUS day, together with Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins!!! (Those family members who were unable to make it... we TRULY missed you and you missed a great Party!)

Aly was "Princess" for the day, crown and all, as seen in the picture above. She so enjoyed herself and received MANY beautiful and VERY fun gifts!!! She'll be sending 'Thank You' cards out, as soon as Mommy and Daddy have the time to help her!

We have a slew of photos to look through, edit and post for your viewing, however it may be several days before we can do so! I'm not feeling very well this week... trying to fight off some type of 'Bug', I guess! I tried to rest up for most of the day today. We are to take Aly to the Studio for her 1-Yr. Photography Session tomorrow afternoon... making it impossible to be online all day. Wednesday and Thursday, will find me working at the office and then we're into yet another weekend!

PLUS all of this, we will be in Revival beginning on Wednesday and ending on Sunday night!!! Needless to say, it is very likely to be NEXT week before I'm able to get a Birthday Photo Album posted...

If you think of us this week, please say a prayer for, not only our stress levels but, also pray that the Lord would come in a mighty way and give us the Revival He would have for us? We'll post again and add that Album ASAP! Take care, ya'll!

Just A Portion of Our New Home for "Show"...

Well! Needless to say, we've been MORE than busy over the past several weeks! Moving is such a feat with a baby, but we're thankful to have gotten the perfect home, seemingly made just for our little family! God is better to us than we deserve, that's for sure!!! We've been able to accomplish quite a bit, but there's much left ahead for us to do!

We've had so many requests to post pix, that we've chosen to post a brief slide-show that will have "to do", until we finish the house and can post more. The rooms that are in the slide-show are incomplete but we HOPE to have them complete within a couple of weeks and the rest of the house done by the end of the summer! (The good Lord willing, that is!) HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ALIKE... THAT THESE PHOTOS DO NOT DO THE HOUSE JUSTICE... PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN AND HAVE MUCH MORE TO DO BEFORE WE'LL BE ABLE TO SAY IT'S 'DONE'! (WE'RE STILL IN THE STAGES OF "CHANGING STUFF" EVERY DAY, MOVING THINGS FROM ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT AND GETTING NEWER THINGS TO REPLACE OTHERS...)

The 'show' below is ONLY of our Living Room, Kitchen/Dining Area and Aly's Room. We will post pix of the other rooms (EG: Entry, our Room and Bath, the Family Room, the Guest Bath and Office) ASAP.

We will need to post another regular BLOG next week, being as we haven't done so, since Revival!!! We'd love to hear from some of you - it's been a while - why not leave us a comment or give us a call sometime soon?

Have a great day and enjoy just a peep into our very 'unfinished' new home...

WOW! What An Awesome God...

Just when we need it... the Lord comes in ways we think impossible!
What a revival we've just finished!!!!! The Coffee's did an incredible job and God was there in EVERY service!
Aly and I took a break on Saturday evening, being as Sundays are kind of tough on her... wouldn't you know that we missed probably the best service of them all??? "Papa" Coffee asked for praises and after a few had given their praises he began his sermon. Just then, Mary a dear teenage friend of ours, spoke out and the Lord fell on the place in a cloud of GLORY and took over the entire service! There was no preaching, the altars were filled and many found the peace they had been searching for! What an awesome God we have, He can work through a child, a teenager or anyone else willing to obey Him.
The entire week was just exactly what Greg and I needed, what our family members needed and what our church congregation needed!
I just wanted to take time out of 'cleaning' and 'decorating' to share with you, my fellow BLOGGER'S, what the Lord has done in our own lives this week. The best part is that He can and will do the same for ANYONE, if and when they listen to and are willing to be open to Him.
May God bless each of you this week and we'll BLOG again, soon...
