| THE JOURNEY We are on Facebook, under noreenkevern@yahoo.com. We have posted a Picture album on there as well. Join us on Facebook. February 2010 February 9 I have lived in Arizona for a long time and it's been years since we have had such a wet winter. We have been having rain every week and it has made repairing things in the motor home a bit difficult. But we continue to work at it. We thought that we had all the leaks fixed but the last rain proved us wrong. So we are caulking the entire roof wherever there is a seam or something on the roof and then we are covering it over with a tarp as we are having another winter storm again tomorrow. This storm's snow level will be down to 4000 feet so we may see some snow! We discovered that the J pipe under the kitchen sink began leaking so we will fix that tomorrow since it will be raining and it's an inside job. I have a front curtain for the windshield now and I am going to work on sewing two for the drivers side and passenger side windows. We figured out how we are going to fix the sleeping area and will begin that next week. I am also going to start sewing new curtains for the windows. Henry and I are not mini blinds people. We prefer curtains. We have been working with a few people discovering God's Word in their lives. It's always an exciting time when someone wants to learn to read the Bible and is learning the way of the Lord. I have reworked a Weekly Way about studying the Bible and have decided to use it again this week for services. So if you are looking for information about reading the Bible, watch for this week's services and the Weekly Way titled God's Word. Henry and I are almost done with The Love Dare. We will complete it on Valentine's Day. We have really enjoyed it. Although we have a great marriage and have learned throughout our 31 year marriage to do the things that are in The Love Dare, we felt it was important to complete The Love Dare ourselves as we recommend it to couples who are having issues in their marriages. And we will begin to recommend it to couples who are getting married. It is such an excellent resource for marriage and will teach you so much. We discovered The Love Dare after watching the movie, Fireproof. Even if you have a great marriage, I would recommend that you read the book and watch the movie. Henry and I also watched the movie Facing The Giants finally! What a great movie that was as well. It is certainly a keeper so we are going to have to go out and buy it. Have a great day and fill your lives with the Word of the Lord! January 2010 January 28 We have had a lot of rain in the last couple of weeks. Here we even had a tornado watch which is very unusual for Tucson. We discovered that we had a leak in the roof of the motor home and we have to replace that portion inside as there was a lot of rain and it caused quite a bubble in the ceiling. Luckily it was not over the bed area! Praise the Lord. We were able to fix that and another small leak up by the drivers area. We had rain again during the night and when it stopped I awoke about 2 this morning, so I read my Bible for a while and have been working on some ministry things. I imagine that I may need a nap later this day! We had found a couple more leaks in the water system but they are all fixed now. The things we had under cover, all did not survive the weather but that's okay. Nothing major was destroyed but those 80 mile an hour wind gusts really caused havoc. We have been cleaning up and going through things to weed out even more things. I have been having some problems with my feet and am seeing a doctor. It is very painful for me to walk, but I manage with a cane. Once the rain stops for a while and the ground dries up, we are going to work on the brakes. It's a bit difficult to jack up something this big when the ground is wet and the jack sinks! Once we finish going through things and getting all the mechanical things fixed such as the master brake cylinder and the lights and of course some new wiper blades we are going to head out for another short journey to see how the motor home works and then come back to fix any thing that may need fixing. We still have to take one of the propane tanks done to have it redone as it is not what is code any longer. We are so excited as we work on things as the weather permits of course. January 3 Today we are trying to get caught up on so many things. We picked up a new faucet to put in the kitchen sink in the motor home. Henry tried to fix it, but it didn't work, so off we went to the store to pick up a new one. We have been pricing electrical cords for the motor home and will pick one up soon. We needed to get a 10 or 12 volt one and decided to get the 10 volt one. I did not know that there were differences in cords! You learn something new everyday! I have been spending the morning updating the group for the next week and the website for today. This afternoon, I am going to be measuring the windows so I can make some curtains for the motor home. We are going to pick up some window film as well. I hope to be able to recover the cushions at some point, but upholstery material is expensive. We were able to remove the passenger chair that was in it. It was some weird thing and we have two captains chairs from the van that we are going to put in the driving area. We are now praying that God will bless us with a small vehicle, something like a Ford Escape, so that we can tow it behind. The van will just be too big for the motor home. But we plan to keep the van as that is what we feel God wants us to do. Well, that's it for now. I am going to try and put a couple of pictures in the photo album. If I am able to, you will see them today. If not it will have to wait until I get help! January 1 It's the beginning of a new day, a new year and a day that we can rejoice in the goodness of the Lord. We will be updating the photo gallery real soon with pictures of the motor home. We look towards the Lord for His will and direction in our lives. We pray for each of you, that the Lord guides you in your lives and fills you with what you need to do His will. Dr. Taylor has decided to take some time away and renew her spirit and health. Please pray for Dr. Taylor, that the Lord's healing touch overflow in her life and that His peace and comfort fill her. I want to share with you again, the "Lord Help Me To Believe In Beginnings". Have a blessed day and a blessed New Year in the Lord! HELP ME TO BELIEVE IN BEGINNINGS God of history and of my heart, so much has happened to me during these whirlwind days: I've known death and birth; I've been brave and scared; I've hurt, I've helped; I've been honest, I've lied; I've destroyed, I've created; I've been with people, I've been lonely; I've been loyal, I've betrayed; I've decided, I've waffled; I've laughed, and I've cried. You know my frail heart and my frayed history-- and now another day begins. O God, help me believe in beginnings and in my beginning again, no matter how often I've failed before. Help me to make beginnings: to begin going out of my weary mind into fresh dreams, daring to make my own bold tracks in the land of now. Help me to believe in beginnings, to make a beginning, to be a beginning, so that I may not just grow old, but grow new each day of this wild, amazing life you call me to live with the passion of Jesus Christ. December We pray that this Christmas season is filled with the wonder of His love. May the Lord bless each of you and may His love and mercy overflow into your lives. We pray that each day will be a Christmas in your lives. We give praise to God for bringing us to a motor home that fits to what we need. It is a 1972 Dodge motor home with plenty of storage space for our needs. We are looking forward to fixing it up and going out on the road! It does need some work, but nothing that Henry and I cannot do. We are already living in it and are working on it day by day. The Lord has lead us to help some people here before we head out. So that gives us time to help them, fix the motor home and get things packed and ready to go! Thanks for all of your prayers! God has heard and has blessed us. November Wow, I can't believe that November is upon us. We have been busy with so many things around here. We are in the process of losing our home and that's okay, as we won't be needing it any longer. We had hoped to sell it, but that is not to be. We have a few more weeks left in the house as we pack and give away and sell 31+ years of our lives. We know that the Lord will provide for us as He has guided us and shown us His will for our lives. Henry and I are weary, but we rest in the Lord, knowing that all is for His glory. Our losing the house helps us to understand and be able to relate with others that we will meet along the Journey. We have not finished fixing the tent trailer, but we have made good progress (we have posted some pictures in the photo gallery). It seems we fix one thing and we find something else that needs to be fixed. The motor home that had been donated never actually came into being. It needed far too much work and we didn't have the money for that. We are hoping to find another motor home, to be blessed by someone who God will lay it upon their hearts to donate to us. We have not had much income lately and we were not able to keep up the payments on the house. It's been a very slow year for donations to the ministry, but we are not afraid. We know that God is still God and that when He brings something into our lives, whether for a day or a season, we will get through it. And our testing is only the beginning as we know that the Lord is preparing us for better things that will bring glory to Him. We feel so honored that God has brought us into everything that has been in our lives so far. We trust in Him and know that He is God and that He will never abandon us or He will always be with us and that HE will provide for us. We worry not, for we see the flowers spin, and the birds in the air and we know that He takes care of all things that are for His glory. And our story, our lives will continue to be blessed so that everything that happens will bring glory to God. All that He brings us to teaches us what HE wants us to learn and enables us to be with others who are going through the same things. Praise be to our God. September We have been working on so many different things this past month. Many problems have surfaced but we are not in the least bit afraid. We ask that you lift the ministry up in prayer as the motor home didn't work out as it needed more repairs than we could afford. We have been trying to work on the tent trailer but it has been too hot here in Arizona to work on a daily basis and with Henry's health issues and my inability to handle the heat, we work on it bit by bit. We have spent some time lately up in Mesa and have so many things that are going on. We are in process of selling our house and that takes time. We have it listed and hope to have it sold soon. Since we have not had any income lately, we are being foreclosed upon. We still hope that the house will sell and then we will be able to use that money for the ministry. We know our calling is sure, God keeps giving us clear messages to persevere during these times and not to worry, He will provide. Our time is taken up by many things and we are praying that we focus more on ministry and let other things take us away from what the Lord has led us to do. Thank you for your prayers and we pray that you will be able to add your support. God bless you. Aug 17 I can't believe that a month has gone by. We have been busy with hospital visits and church and many other things. We ask for prayers for a quick sale for our house for if we cannot sell it in the next few weeks we will have to give it back to the bank or they may chose to foreclose. Either way, we are out again after the Labor Day weekend. Please pray as well that we are able to get things sold or given away to some place who will give it to those who need. Henry has been working on the tent trailer the best he can, it's slow going but the mighty mend it seems to be working to keep the seams together. Between the heat and his back, it takes its toll on him and he gets really tired. He's been having more spasms in his back. Once he is done with that, I will clean and pack the tent trailer. We are hoping to take the tent trailer out this time since the motor home is going to take more time than we had hoped. It's just too hot to work on it and so it will have to wait until we return later and the weather is cooler. But we can't wait to get back out there and see who God leads us too. We haven't had any donations lately and are trusting in the Lord for His provision. Henry has fallen a few times recently, the doctor believes it's because of his back problems and that there is nothing to be done. He has a spot on his knee that been there since the end of March when he fell on it. She doesn't think it is of any concern but will continue to monitor it. He has been having some stomach issues as well lately. She believes it is acid reflux and is putting him on Nexium as he cannot use the others as it can cause problems with his warifin. The doctor is checking his gall bladder and liver as well. With the 2 statins he is on, he could develop liver problems. I am glad that the doctor is checking other things out as well. Our grandson Branson came through the surgery fine and is getting his helmet tomorrow. His skull is already looking better and he has healed nicely. You can barely see the incisions. Our grandson Noah started kindergarten today! We went with him and his mom and brothers and sister, aunt and cousin to the school. He was a little scared but we know he will do fine. Our other 2 new granddaughters are growing so big. It's hard to imagine that so much time has gone by. Addyson is 6 months now and Elle is 2 months and Branson is now 5 months. We want to thank all of you who have been praying for the ministry. We feel the Lord moving mightily in our lives and are humbled that He has called us. We trust the Lord for everything and we know that He will take care of bringing to us what we need. We continue to lift you up in prayer. July 18 Praise the Lord! We have been working on so many things these past few weeks. On the 11th of July, we welcomed 3 new Christians into the faith. Please keep Nanci, Morgan and Rylan in your prayers as they live out their faith in their lives. Nanci, who has cancer, is giving her testimony about her faith through all that has happened to her. Morgan and Rylan are 2 of her grandchildren who traveled to share their faith with her and the family for a very special day. Another praise, we have been blessed with a motor home for the ministry. It is an older one, but we will be fixing it up to continue on The Journey. THANK YOU LORD! We will be adding pictures of the motor home and the steps we will take to fix it up and get ready to go again! Monday the 20th, we will be up in Phoenix for our grandson Branson's surgery on his skull. Dr. Moss and his team will be removing part of his skull that has fused too early. We are trusting in the Lord that His healing touch is in the doctor's and team's hands and that all will be well with Branson. We will be out of the Tucson area for most of next week. But I will try and update you on Monday night of how things went. We also request prayers for not only Branson, but for Dr. Moss and his team. Henry and I are praying for you. We are trusting in the Lord that we will be out on The Journey in August. Due to be blessed with the motor home, we have some repairs that need to be accomplished before we go back on the road. We will not be able to spend hours working on it, as it is summer in Arizona and we are really hot! We welcomed Dr. Amanda Taylor to the ministry as well. She lives in North Carolina and is our person in that area. We are so happy to have her join us. We are excited that the Sunday worship is gathering at sister Donna's home. Thank you Donna for sharing your home for praising the Lord. |
