It has come to this...

Tonight when I got in from the office, my mom and I headed to Wal-Mart to do some shopping before my brother and his wife come in tomorrow visiting from California.
While at Wal-Mart one of the things I picked up was a new toilet brush.  When we got home, my mom and I were putting away the groceries.  The toilet brush became a very amusing topic of conversation when I walked into the kitchen from my mom’s bedroom saying, “I’m getting old.”  “Why?” she said.   “Well, because I actually had the thought while I was putting the brush away in the bathroom that it is going to be kind of fun to have a new toilet brush to work with.”  After a few chuckles between us on that statement we finally summarized it isn’t really that I am getting old…it is just that I obviously need to get a life!  Ha, ha, ha

All kidding aside…PERU, we are headed your way!  We are finalizing things that need to get done in the home stretch.  It is so much fun to see how many people are praying and giving. We only have 17 and ½ missionaries left that need to be sponsored by Oct. 26th so if God moves on your heart to give, please be obedient! Don’t put it off. You can click “Donate” on the right side of this page or you can mail donations to:

The team is getting excited, and as for me personally, I am already there in my heart!  I told our Peru prayer team in Morrilton last night that I’m ready to leave the country!  For those of you in Peru who will be attending the retreat and you are reading this blog….God is up to some stuff for you! I see Him doing so much stuff on this side that I told last night’s prayer group and the prayer group in Ft. Smith today that I don’t know what God has for you girls through this retreat and for us as a team, but it must gonna be something to behold.  So I encourage you ladies there in Peru who will be attending the retreat to ask God now to start preparing your hearts to receive all He has for you!

I also continue to covet your prayers as I am closing down the counseling office before we leave for Peru.  Have a great week, and if you find yourself excited about the thought of a new toilet brush…well…“get a life”! Ha, ha, ha, ha

Love you friends.
His,
Vickie

Have a safe journey.
Getting old is not an easy thing to deal with, unless we are under twenty. Believe me though, even at sixty I feel that I am still learning. So is it when we stop learning the process of getting lod starts?
