Making progress! Kitchen Project Part 2

The previous post left off with us just finishing up getting the new framing in place.

Toads and Snails and Mold, Oh my!

We've had Jacob and Jordy home this week.  They both have a week off from their jobs and before the fall semester begins.  We are so very glad they could come help us!  We were afraid of what we'd find once we got started.

We knew that seeing snails in the kitchen in the evenings was a bad sign.

Green Springs

We've had some terrible illness run through the family and life has been in survival mode for awhile now.  Everyone is on the mend now, though it is a slow process, and I thought I'd sit at the computer and do a quick little post about a recent fun outing we had as a family, just before we started getting sick.

We took a little day trip to Green Springs and though we think we didn't find where everyone says is the best place to go, we found a place that we could let the kids play and cool off for the afternoon. 

Our Champion Victorious, Our Risen King!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!! 

This is the email I received from the mother today!  I have taken out identifying names but I wanted to share her own words for the encouragement and edification of others to see and hear this wonderful testimony of the power of God to rescue and to save and to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for lifting up our dear friends!!!  I was praying in faith that God would do immeasurably more than we ask or even imagine and I am excited to wait on the Lord and watch and see His marvelous deeds.  Both Emily and I prayed through the night the other night and had similar experiences that we shared with one another the next morning.  We both felt emotions of terror come upon us with hairs standing on end and goose-bumps rising up.  She saw her bedroom grow unnaturally dark and I saw dark shadows flitting across my walls. We both closed our eyes and did not allow it to frighten us from our purpose of praying for our friends.  The enemy hates the fellowship of the saints.   May God bless you richly for standing in the gap for this precious young lady when she was unable to do so for herself and for lifting up the mother when her faith was faltering.  I love you for it!! 

Please continue to remember them in prayer!

To God be the glory!

Keep on praying!

Please keep on praying for this young lady and for her deliverance from the powers of darkness!

Her situation is urgent and it appears that events are escalating.  She tried to strangle herself and then tried to choke herself and was in kept restraints until late this evening when she was put on a 24 hour watch.  Please pray protection over this tortured beloved child of God!  Please pray for peace and strength of faith for her mother.  For the Lord to uphold her with His mighty right arm through this dark valley.
