Testimony
Our Midwest
Testimony
These are just some of the pictures that we have of our
journey, thus far....
|
|
Our first house together and it was located in
Woodburn, Oregon in November of 1999. Believe it or
not, THIS house was 1800 square feet in size. It looks
like a tiny bungalow but it's HUGE inside. |
This is our second home and it was located in
Lebanon, Oregon in 2001. Our apartment was a HUGE 3
bedroom (the corner one, at the end on the right), that was
almost as big as the house in Woodburn was.
|
|
This is our Church in Lebanon that we loved and we still
compare every Church that we go to,
with them. The people there were like family to us and they
truly did Church the right way and we still stay in touch with quite a few of them.

This is the front of our computer store that we owned in
Albany, Oregon right after we opened it in May of '02

September of 2002, when we were heading to Kansas

This is Sharlene at the Oregon border, holding Nicole in
September of 2002, when we were heading to Kansas |

This is us changing drivers somewhere on the road between
Oregon and Kansas, with everything that we had left that we
owned, packed in that U-Haul trailer and in the bed of our
truck

He's holding our nephew that we'd never met until then (and
Nicole of course).
|
|
This is the house that the Lord provided for us to live in,
after we had been back in the Midwest from Oregon for around
4 months, after living with Ernie's brother Tim, his wife
and our nephew in a 2 bedroom mobile home....
|
|
This is our truck that died almost immediately after we got
moved into that house above.....
|
This is a car that uncle Jerry gave to us |
|
This is the new car that God provided for us, shortly after
we got the LeBaron
|
|
This is the front of the house that the Lord provided for
us, to be closer to Ernie's job that He also provided for
us.
We lived there over 2.5 years
|
|
This is the back of that house looking towards the highway
and carwash and the
Sutherland's Lumber
|
|
This is looking into the dining area of that house, note the
brand new dining set that was given to us by direction from
God, from a friend.
|
The brand new couch that God literally gave to us
|
|
This is a hutch that Ernie built to go over our desk, for
more storage
|
|
This is the living room, it has changed dramatically since
then
|
This is the living room looking towards the front door and
TV area. Notice the edge of the fish tank on the right side. |
|
This is the kitchen area

Here is Ernie's shop area in the basement
|
|
This is our 55 gallon fish tank that we've had for 2+ years
now |
This is Soupy, our sweet little 6.5 pound toy Pomeranian dog
that we always loved, he's gone now
|
|
This is the back yard, looking northwest. The creek is
just beyond the trees and it's now all fenced in.
|
|
Well God certainly wasn't and isn't finished blessing us!
We were able to BUY this home, situated on 5 beautiful
acres, in the Ozarks of Missouri! Ernie got an awesome
job down here and our website business has REALLY taken off.
We also have a ticketing service that we offer to the music
theaters and life is GOOD. God is good and here are
the pictures of the house that He's blessed us with!
