~If MY PEOPLE, which are called by my Name, will HUMBLE themselves and PRAY....~

~Corona~

Who knew in 2020 we'd be facing the Corona!

In times like these one could feel Alone, Huh?

But we know ONE who knew about the virus,

And if we are serving HIM, He is for us!

Let's take this time to really search our heart,

To make sure God owns every single dingle part!!

Then let's humble ourselves and PRAY for our nation,

That many will turn to God during this devastation.

May God in Heaven use this to Revive

His Spirit in all of us and make us Alive.

Many are suffering and need our PRAYER

And also the medical team who are doing the care!

If we believe that ALL things really work for our good,

Then could we trust God right NOW? YES! We could!

For He's got us right in the palm of His Hand!

And He is working all of this out for His Plan!

What have y'all been up to during this quarantine?

As a Homeschool family on a mini farm,

not much as changed, besides that we are trying to reach out even more to others and

PRAY more for:

Our President

Vice President

Governor

Our Pastors and families

Our Church family

Our people in Colombia and Argentina

Those suffering from Corona

Our Medical Team

That God would use this to SAVE SOULS

That God will FORGIVE OUR SIN and HEAL OUR LAND!

~Here's some pics of what has been going on in our lives.~

~Kimberly wrote this sweet note to our mail lady and put it inside our mailbox.~

~Homeschool goes on as usual. BUT, on those pretty

Sunny days, a little bit of SPRING FEVER may be kicking in. :-) ~

~Mary and I have been enjoying playing a duet on the piano.~

~Phillip has been spending extra time praying for and contacting our people on the field!!

And making videos in Spanish and English to touch lives for Jesus!!

~HEATHER'S HOMEMADE

WHITE BREAD RECIPE~

When I was a teenager, I had my own bread business in Louisiana.

This is the Yummy white bread recipe that I used.

Since we are trying not to go to the store (and we haven't for Days) we realized that we had run out of bread.

So Kimberly, Sarah, and I made this bread today!

Microwave for 2 mins:

YIELDS: Four (20 Oz.) Loaves

1 1/2 c. water

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup oil

1 heaping Tab. salt

Add:

1 3/4 cup cool water

1 heaping Tab. yeast

2 eggs

10 + cups of flour

Place in greased bowl and let rise 45-60 mins.

Grease 4 large loaf pans.

Divide dough into 4 equal parts, knead each part and place in greased pans.

Let rise for 45 mins.

Bake at 350 for 22-26 mins.
(When you tap on the top of your loaf it should sound hollow.)
Brush the top of each loaf with butter.

ENJOY!!

~Kimberly was asked to make a Toilet Paper CAKE for a 16 year friend's birthday cake. :-)

She made 2 batches of a white cake from scratch, and the fondant was from scratch as well.

Looks so real!

~It may be hard to tell the details on here, but every 4" she perforated the "TP" for her cake, and added designs using a toothpick and a flower brad.

Kimberly did a phenomenal job!

She never ceases to amaze me! :-) ~

~Lots of family time and snugglin' going on around here...

Sarah and her Daddy!~

~Abigail "reading books!"~

She cannot wait to start school in the Fall!

~The kids music practice and some lessons continue as usual!

~For quite some time, Elijah has been saving his money to buy baby chicks. This week he got to order some baby chicks, and they were delivered to our house yesterday!

The little unopened box with the "PEEP PEEPS" coming from it nearly melted our hearts!~
