This Week: Asheboro, NC

Well, we headed toward North Carolina after being in the Tri-Cities and met lots more great folks and stayed in the very historic Mocksville. We loved seeing all the OLD homes in the area and found a neat historic spot...
Claudia was exhausted from all the travel and caught a nap in a prophet's chamber as we packed up the car for NC.
In Mocksville, NC, we saw the burial site of Daniel Boone's parents. Chloe and Clarke got to learn about them and we incorporated that into our schooling that day.



THIS IS MY NEW INVENTION! How I dry laundry on the road ;) Claudia spilled apple juice all on her leggings. The rest of her clothes were in the cartop carrier and not accessible (lesson learned) so I washed these leggings in the sink and then hung them to dry from the hook right next to the air vent. After a few hours and rotating them, they were dry! Deputation DIY!
Clint enjoys kefir smoothies now and Chloe loves feeding it to him!
It was a really neat treat to be able to stop at Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, AL on our way back to our home church. We really enjoyed the stop and it is a great place to go visit if you ever can. All the unclaimed baggage from the world's airports ends up right here! Pretty amazing place and my husband said we are going here on our anniversary date! He was like a kid in a candy store! :) lol Good stress relief before our next trip to Florida and Louisiana! 
 While back here in AL, we spent Easter Sunday in our home church and got to spend time with dear friends, the Campbell Family to Scotland. We had them over for Sunday dinner of sauce and meatballs and had great fellowship together! I also had the seemingly endless chore of switching out everyone's winter clothes and trying on summer clothes to find things that fit everybody. That is an all day chore with 5 kids!!! But we got it done and now just have to pack all the suitcases again this next week. Praise the Lord for all the sweet people we have met, the great meetings we have had and the new ones we got even today....look forward to posting all the pics of this next trip too! 
:) Keep praying :)

Senses Secured

RISE AND SHINE FOR JESUS! By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Senses Secured" Proverbs 7:1-5 (KJV) My son, keep my words , and lay up my commandments with thee. [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye . [3] Bind them upon thy fingers , write them upon the table of thine heart . [4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman : [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words . As I studied this portion of scripture I was heavily struck with the importance of having our senses saturated with the Word of God. You see, sexual sin often begins with unguarded eyes, hands, and hearts… And knowing that the rest of this chapter vividly deals with the unhealthy situation that occurred between a simple young man and a strange woman, it is no wonder that the Lord opens the story with strong scriptural advice! Truly, it is a perfect text to teach young ...

One Day At A Time

I wanted to send you this poem today, and I remember it sitting on my mother's desk for many years before she died. She was always encouraged by this poem and I hope you will be encouraged with its truths along with me... "One Day at a Time" One day at a time, with its failures and fears, With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears, With its portion of pain and its burden of care; One day at a time we must meet and must bear. One day at a time to be patient and strong, To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong; Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease; It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. One day at a time - but the day is so long, And the heart is not brave, and soul is not strong, O Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way; Give courage and patience and strength  for the day. Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; "Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to m...

Haynes Family Prayer Letter - October 2018

Image
October 2018 Dear Supporting Churches and Friends, Got some good news to report in from this past month.  First, I will tell you about a great project which Justine is doing  for two orphanages in Rome. A while back, somebody gifted Justine about 100 skeins of yarn (that’s one of those yarn thingies for all you guys out there).  Justine was praying about using the yarn to make something on a large scale for a group of people, but also using it to get the Gospel of our Lord Jesus to that specific group .  One of Justine’s heroes is Dorcas because she made garments for the poor as her ministry, which ultimately brought Glory to God when Peter raised her from the dead in Acts 9.  Justine got in touch with an orphanage in Rome which currently has 80 kids living there. Justine explained everything to the director and they were THRILLED about handmade scarves and gave us the “green light” to send everything.  T...
