Life as we know it!!!

It has been so much fun these past few whatevers. Whether it is months or weeks or even days. Joel and I have had a blast. So as of October 13 we left Kingston, On to head to Hope Idaho. We decided to check out Uship.com. It is a website that has a lot of people trying to ship things around Canada and U.S to name a few countries. Then you bid on items you would like to help ship. We bid on a small beagle to ship from Indiana to Idaho. Joel and I got the bid and she turned out to be the best thing in the whole wide world. Sunny was her name and she was the sweetest cutest beagle I have ever seen or met. She sat on the passengers lap the whole time. With her came a kennel and a back pack. At night in the Hotel she would go right into her kennel with no problems. We could not have asked for a better Uship experience. It was a little sad to say good-bye but it was a huge blessing all at the same time.

Joel and I have a few things on our plate. If you think about it please pray for us as we make transition and decide on other things.

For One thing we are preparing to take on three churches (sub-pastoring as I like to call it) so my parents can have a break. It is a bit nerve racking and I have to keep focusing back on Submitting to Joel and letting God do what he does best; Lead and Love!!!

Second thing is that there are a lot of craft fairs going on and I am hopefully going to send in my application on Monday so that I can be selling for 2 to 3 days. There was one craft fair that I could not attend because our church is having their Christmas Bizzare on that day but my mom found out from a lady that a week later another town is having their craft fair. I am so pumped!!! I have been making a lot of necklaces since getting to my parents place. Joel has jumped in with me and is helping make kids jewelry and other items I feel are needed for this event. Isn't he just the most wonderful guy in the world. I love that man!!!

Third the praying, thinking, and planning for the next step after my parents place. Right now are thought and heart is to go to California and start a food minstry. There are so many detials and things to pray about. I am too excited and trying not to think about it too much because my energy and focus needs to be on the churches. But I am so excited. We are praying that we will clearly see the path that God has for us as we spend precious time with Him!!!

Well that is it for now. Below is a pic of Sunny and I. She is so cute. I wish ya'll could have met her (that is if you like dogs of course!!!)

Love to ya'll,
Joel and Dess
