For years Jeremiah 17:7 was my favorite, so promising! Then I read before that, Jeremiah 17:5, so convicting!! I now only visit the desert from time to time.

⁵ This is what the LORD says:
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

⁶ He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will not see prosperity when it comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.

⁷ "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.

⁸ He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."

I feel loved when...

Spreading the Word-- ME!

We will be leaving for Uganda in 6 days. I am getting excited, finally! I am the type that can't think on things too long, anticipation is not my thing. So being busy with everything else has been GREAT for this trip. Now after the weekend of parties I will pack and be off to Uganda!!!

Prayer is always wanted and needed from anyone and everyone.

This trip is different than others, we are evangelizing in the city of Soroti this time, instead of the burbs of Mbale. We should have many many more contacts, than out in the 'field'. Also may have much more contact with Muslims and Hindu's this time. Lots of opportunity to share the gospel!!

I think the thing that is most awesome about going on this trip, is I GET TO DO THIS!!. It is so humbling, and exciting and amazing that I, this sinner, this nobody special in this world, get to go and talk to people, about God, about their salvation, their eternal salvation. I get to be a part in showing them what God intends for all mankind, if only they know and believe!

Now why don't I do this at home?? A whole other posting is needed for that!! I will address this when I get back!

Pray for many contacts, many to have ears to hear and hearts to believe!! Strength and courage for me and His words in my mouth.

July 16 we begin to travel. July 20-24 we evangelize and have crusades in the evening. July 25, visit orphanage and pack. July 26 start back home July 27 arrive home 7:30 PM

So much can happen in a month!! I don't even know if I can remember it all. I will try to recap.

We are loving the house!! Still working on it, bits and pieces still need to be done but it is fabulous.

Having Lee Meg and Tanah and Ty with us is even more fabulous. Tanah is so funny, busy, talkative-- Much different than those boys I raised.

Having Tanah here has an added benefit too! Cheyanne comes to visit, and even has spent the night a couple of nights!! NONNIE HEAVEN! Nonnie Paradise will be when the 3 girls are here, giggeling in bed, and Ty is sneaking around trying to find ways to scare them, and the Mom's and Dad's are not anywhere to be seen!!

We had our appreciation party for all of those that came and helped us build this house. So many came, again we felt so blessed to have friends like these that wanted to come and share with us! We can never do enough for them.

The Rock is on the house!! It took the guys about 1 week-- It looks fabulous.

April disappeared in a afternoon thunderstorm

Bubba left us while rock guys here, and never returned.

Keith got a wild hair and spent some of his shop money on a couple of 4 wheelers

Also Papaw decided that the grandgirls could have kittens. Stipulation they live outside. (Kittens) We Got two, Chey named hers (black one) Sally. And Tan named her Tabby Ruby. A couple of days later we picked up the sib of the tabby and her name is Cutie-- Right now the cage is the safest place for them. (Kittens)

Our septic tank is having issues. We have an anarobic system and it hasn't started sprinkling, so called the people, a few times, first they said not enough water going through-- Then came out to look, we got a hole in one tank. So they are going to patch it, and hopefully get it replaced. Not the end of the world but a bit of peeyew.

Tomorrow we are celebrating the July Kids birthdays, before we go off to Uganda--

Got some cabinets built for one bath

Ordered some for another

Bought some flat screens

Still need to finish the bar

Went to Lubbock for a shopping day

Had a couple of Uganda meetings

Cried some for lost pets

Saw 2 rattle snakes while 4 wheeling

Found out my illness may be weird migraines being triggered by EVERYTHING.

Cleaned out 5th wheel-- trying to sell it.

Saw more rain here than San Antonio did.

Been blessed beyond my imagination or deserving!!!

Easier to build a house than post a slide show!!

Finally it worked!! I hope you enjoy the slide show-- It was not exactly what I had hoped for, something in my homemade one turned up as a copyright issue?? for Photobucket- go figure!

Our rock men are still here, they should finish this weekend.

After placing my rock with the cross for me, they must have been inspired to do more for us. Last night they showed us two rocks they had carved, with crosses on them. We were so touched that they wanted to do something special like that for our home! We are having one placed near the side master door, and the other next to the upstairs office/other room. Again another show of God's hand in this home, we have had so many that have worked for us ,for Him. The kindness shows in these small gestures, all seem to take a part, a pride, a claim to this dwelling. Cipriano and Miguel, our cement guys, came by yesterday- They were both so very happy for us to have come this far, and so very complimentary of our home, you could see the pride in their eyes for having been a part of all of it.

I am so very excited to see what God has in store for us in the future, how he will use us and this home. I pray, and ask you to pray that we are able to honor him with this home, always.

We are not finished yet, more to come.

Time Flies, and it is all fun, even when it is hard work...

Been about 2 months since I have posted. SOOOOO much has happened!

I hope to have a video/slide show added to this thing through photobucket-- I am attempting to make it a beginning to present show-- So it may contain too much mega-whatevers, we will see...

Until the export to the desktop and then the upload to the bucket, I will fill you in on what I can remember happened with Pettyville in the past view weeks.

SOOOOO MUCH! Not in order, but here we go:

Cheyanne had a birthday!! She turned 3. I now have two 3 year old granddaughters, just for a few more weeks.

Evan came home for a week, eye checkup, SSI applications, helped out around the house--He had a long weekend and we thought we would take advantage.

Evan became a full B, meaning he rides the bus where ever he pleases in San Antonio-- Freaks me a bit. He rode to Lee and Megs house in Converse, it took 3 bus changes and 3 hours, but he made it and LOVED it!

I glazed lots of walls.

Lee and Keith put in granite tops. (Not the bars yet)

I have mopped the floors about 4 x and ran the floor/washer scrubber on it. (I was an indian giver and borrowed the one I gave Ashton to do the job, it worked great so I kept it and bought them a new one)

I wall tiled 1 shower. TRIED to thin set the floor.

We hired someone to tile shower 2 and redo my thin set floor. He did a GREAT job.

My dear Ranger of 16 years died.
