Mornings with God

This year I have been convicted to get up a little earlier
to make sure I get my God time in.
Some mornings I spend these early moments
out walking as I talk to God
Sometimes I have to share the walking path with
the farm animals:)
I love waking up with the island

Thank You Jesus for these moments!

Teams

This week we had 2 teams serving here with us at KP
The first team is from Dayton Christian School in Ohio.
They bring a team every year to work in our school leading
a teacher training for the staff. While the adults on the team
work with our staff the students take care of the
classes and our students.
The second team comes in some form twice a year. They
are the audiologist that have blessed us for years. Typically
Susie or John come to work with us, and bring a variety of
people with them who are willing to serve us for a week.
This week Nancy, Susie, and Mary were here working
with our students and staff.

Praise God for willing hearts ready to
surrender their time and talents to come and
serve with us!

Meet the Gridley team 2012!
I once more joined this team in Kingston for the week
and loved every min of it.

at my share site. The link is at the top R of the page)
Sunday Morning Church Service
My Small Group for the week.
I loved getting to know each of them on a spiritual level
Apts. being tiled
hair flair ain't for sissys:)
digging out and getting rid of the old merry go round
pulling down and getting rid of the cement tower
welding a new stair well
painting the living skills apt.
pouring the tuck shop roof
painting encouragement on dorm walls
picking up a job as an ice cream sales man.
Fun at Ocho Rios!
Lighting the Fire One More Time.


Saying Good Bye:(

Celebrating the Holiday

Colt hanging out by the tree
Freda and I playing Betty homemaker as we bake
Christmas goodies
Jax watching Aunt Jan play her accordion during the
Hinrichsen Christmas carols
Freda, Colt, and Adam
Ryan, Kensley (sorry babe its not the most flattering
picture of you), Nicole and Jax.
Mariah playing Christmas songs for us before we
opened gifts






















The Davis Girls had a Christmas tradition of passing a ugly green purse each year. Through the years things were added such as gloves, ear rings, rings. etc. Then it was lost and we didn't see if for a few years.
Aunt Becki found it when cleaning out her house and this year Stacy was the lucky recipient of the green lovelies. I was the lucky recipient of the beautiful fake flowers that were once 'planted' in front of Grandma and Grandpas house when they could now longer work in the flower beds:). When they moved out of the house I cleaned some up and gave them to both their girls. This year I got them back and am now proudly displaying them in my kitchen:)
Christmas day was beautiful so after opening presents
most of us went outside. The little kids to play on the
playground, and the big boys to play basketball.
The nephews, niece and I all got Toms for Christmas
Adam, Kevin, Kyle, Tom, Ryan, and Mark
Nicole, Keri, Me, Kristen, Stacy, Christine

I am so blessed by my family!
Thank You God for Each one of them!
Happy New Year!
