Tonight we are singing on the street. I think we will sing “God On The Mountain” and “Without Him”. I like those songs a lot. I always love singing on the street. The people here are so kind about our singing and they are so sweet and encouraging. It’s like the people at our church. I am thankful for sweet people.
Tuesday we went to the nursing home and it was a great service. We really enjoyed talking to the older folks and wheeling them back to their rooms and singing…. I saw tears in the eyes and smiles on faces and I think it blessed them. When I got done I thought, “there is just nothing quite like this… you can go to a home like this and when you leave feel so happy and fulfilled that you were there!” That’s what it’s like to serve Jesus.
Last night we went to West Bend Church of God. It was a cute little church and the people there were so kind and sweet. They really listened and asked us to sing some more. While we were there a young lady came up after we took a break and sang a beautiful song. “I Can’t Make It Lord Without You” You can listen to this song here on utube. It’s a beautiful song. I LOVE it. Been singin it all day! I want to sing it when I get home maybe for our church!

This morning I got up and I had that song on my heart. I kept singing it to the Lord. Tears came to my eyes as I realized again and anew in my heart…. I can’t make it without Him! I can’t go one moment without Him giving me what I need. I must hold His hand until the day I go home… I just can’t make without Him!
It was a good service and I believe the people seemed genuinely blessed. Praise the Lord for that… that He would use us!
Yesterday in the morning I was out on the porch rocking and reading a devotional book. I was reading my bible and God brought me to the passage in -
2 Timothy 2:4 “No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier”.
I realized that God wants all of my heart. He wants everything I can give. He doesn’t want me to get distracted by “little things” here and there. Sure I must live in this world and do the things that need to be done… but my focus must be upon Jesus. So I told Jesus yesterday on the porch that I would focus upon Him. I would let Him be my main focus and love. Because I can’t make it Lord without you….

Hey Holly; Thanks so much for describing things for us who can’t be there. We miss you and we love you. Looking forward to being with you again. You make that porch seem so very inviting. I’m looking forward to sitting there with you and having a good long talk. I remember last year sitting on the porch watching the girls do the ten-step…
thanks so much for keeping up on the updates. It sounds like He has really used you alot!!! I am looking forward to hearing more about it when you guys get home. I am still praying for you all as well
I would love to hear you sing, “God on the mountain”. I haven’t heard it in 25 years! I love that song!
