Blessings to Everyone!  

Thank you for all of your kind words and support over the last several weeks of this journey!  We are amazed at how many people read this blog and have continued with us on our "travels."  I LOVE blogging because it has kept us all connected !  It is strange, but we continue through this venue of communication to sense God being lifted up, and we all are getting encouragement.  

DENNIS WILL RETURN TO THE PULPIT THIS WEEK!  This is how HUGE GOD IS!  Dennis told me he felt he would be back to preach on Megan's 18th birthday which is February 8th.  Sorry to say...I laughed!   Well, let me encourage you to NEVER doubt the power of God!  We are so excited to see what God has in store for this Sunday.  Dennis is so fired up and focused and expecting God to do great things this coming Sunday and everyday following.  Please be praying for us as we "return" (don't really think we ever left) to the work God has called us to.  There is an excitement in the air, and I well up with tears when I witness over and over again the greatness of my Father.  God truly is an awesome God, and we should never ever doubt what he can and will do when we keep walking forward and allowing him to move through us.  

With no credit given to us please, many people have said, for the first time ever, they have seen God really work and this "Christian Life" lived out.  Please let me say, WE GIVE ALL GLORY AND CREDIT TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER who loves us so much.  You see Dennis, Megan, and I are NOTHING outside of Christ.  We recognize that every single breath we take comes from God the Father, that He alone is worthy of all praise, we have chosen, in the good and bad times, to trust Him, and we continue to walk forward in faith believing God holds EVERYTHING and control ALL.  We never have to worry or fret about what is in store next.

I so want to encourage each person to walk this walk with us.  We are on a great adventure, and you can join us!  God has a "journey" of living life to the fullest and most completeness for everyone.  It begins with believing and receiving the precious gift of salvation and then pressing in to build a personal relationship with Jesus.  As we do that, as we remain faithful and obedient to His Word, God will work and move in our lives.  THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!

If you have a home church, get involved so you can walk this road with other believers who desire the same path.  IF YOU DON'T have a home church, come be a part of our path in the city of Highland.  Heed the call on your heart to have purpose and be a part of a family!  Don't waste another day, contemplating and wondering what this life is all about.  GET MOVING!

It is SOOOOO worth it!

Dennis continues to improve, but the road to healing is not over yet.  He tires easily and still gets headaches at times.  He is such an awesome man!  After 25 years (almost 26), I thought I knew Dennis so well.  Let me tell you, until you have witnessed first hand your loved one go through something so difficult....He continues to trust God with each day, and he continues to take the next step forward with JOY, LAUGHTER, and LOVE.  His faith has NEVER waivered and his trust in God has NEVER been stronger.  Continue to pray that God will continue the work he began unto completion.  PTL!  (Praise the Lord!)

We love you all!  Continue to stay with us, and I will continue to communicate with you.  Dennis is coming out to Kidz Club for a visit this evening.  I can't keep him down, so pray his visit won't be too much for him.  The Kidz are so excited to see him and he them!  

Much love,

Mendy
