Have You Ever Been 'Tested'?

Mommy and Daddy say they are being tested.

I'm not sure I know what they mean, but Mommy says it started with deciding to move!

She said moving it stressful in itself, and anything added to that will be harder to deal with.

Like Daddy being over at the new house until about midnight every night for the past two months.

And that nice police officer over in Cherokee county.

And the air conditioner doesn't work in the van.

And the water backing up in every drain in the house.

And the unexpected 15 hour lay-over in Atlanta, and Amanda's surgery.

And today the transmission died in Daddy's car. $2,000.

And we're planning to move SATURDAY, even though the gas people haven't hooked us up, yet.

And the new oven is still in a box in the kitchen floor.

And the new shower unit is still in a box in the den floor.

And Daddy found Sneaky Snake on a floor joist in the crawl space.

Oh, and the bee's, though MUCH fewer in number, still inhabit the rear corner of the roof!

But, it's all good. Daddy says we'll make it through!

Okay....Sunday, we dedicated Jasmine at church.

That's what they do at the Baptist church.

Andy, Jonathan, me and Amanda all got baptised at the Presbyterian church, but we didn't get 'dunked' so we caint be Baptist until we are! We all have been dunked now, except Amanda.

Here's Jasmine in her white dedication frock that Mommy and Daddy bought for her in China!


Okay. That's all for today.

Monday, Jasmine goes to Shriner's in Greenville for her first visit to see what they can do for her fingers.

We'll let you know what they say!

I think your parents will pass these "tests" with flying colors-
1 day they will lokk back and laugh about the bees, and the snake and the all the other "pop quizzes" life will throw at them.
PS- Jasmine is sooooo cute-

Hang in there sweet friends!! this too shall pass and be a distant memory!!!

Jasmine looked precious in her baptism outfit. I just want to kiss that little face!!

We'll be praying about your move and transition!!!!

Misty for the B's (the good kind!!)

She is the cutest thing ever! I'm sure God will provide for the transmition.
