Texas Fun

Having fun in Texas

Yahoo!! We made it to Texas (my luggage finally made it in on Monday) and we are having fun!! I will try to post as often as possible for my beloved Joel who is still in revival in Idaho. He will be joining us on Monday (I will post that week also). You all are welcome to join us on our Texan vacation.

Sunday was Father's Day and we enjoyed a nice family dinner at Hunan's. It was a little hectic for me because I did not have my luggage and spent most of the day trying to locate it. I ended up having to buy clothes just before church because it still hadn't arrived at the time it was scheduled to.

Monday my mom and grandfather Parker got the girl's alligator swimming pool set up. The girls were so excited to swim they couldn't wait for the water to warm up. So in they went. It was 105 so we only let them swim for a little while. Eddie and Ashley and baby Heidi came over for we enjoyed a yummy dinner of squash caserole and fried okra salad. After dinner all three of the girls got in their suits and headed for the pool. Talk about bathing beauties!!! We enjoyed a wonderful evening of just being together.

Today we was just a do whatever day. We went to lunch at Pat's Drive Inn (does anybody else gain weight when they go home) and then just ran errand's in town. When Mom, Ashley, the girls and I got home Amber had just finished making mint Oreo shakes. Double Yumm!!! It was just another evening of being together. Believe it or not the weather was kinda cool so Eddie hit golf balls around in the yard us girls just watched and talked.

That's all for today. I think tommorrow is sewwing day. Mom is making Alyssa's dress for my sister's wedding and I'm making me a skirt (for just because I need one).

Stay to tuned to our Texas vacation because we have some exciting events planned for the rest of the trip.

Tonight was our last night in revival here in Washington. We closed out two revivals today (yes two) and one last Sunday. We have had tremendous services these past three weeks. Last Sunday Lyle was filled with the Holy Ghost. Lyle has been coming to church for about 3 months. When he first started coming to Apostolic Faith Tabernacle he was an alcoholic looking for deliverance. God delivered Lyle and he has been clean for 3 months now. Lyle has been one of the most faithful saints the Davenports have and last Sunday he completely surrendered his heart to God. After service he was so excited and so full of joy. If you read this blog and you are bound by an addicition take it from someone who has seen first hand what God can do. There is no bondage he cannot deliver.
On Thursday a backslider prayed through. I talked to her today and she is was just so thankful that God touched her.
In Renton Joel preached an awesome message this morning entitled Fire For Such A Time As This. This afternoon in Kirkland we had a deep moving of the Spirit. It was a great ending for our revivals.
We start revival in Lewiston, ID with Bro. Holt on Wednesday. I am expecting God to great things. On Saturday the girls and I fly to Texas. Yeah!!! I think this is the longest we have been away from home and we are ready for a visit. Joel will fly out the next week and will spend a week with us.
Tonight we are at the Tingley's playing games and just enjoying being with each other. Don't we live the good life!!
I love you all and wish you all a lovely week.
