Bethany and Austin

The Feere Family
Bethany and Austin have landed a job for the week (with their parents' help). Our friends who have a Spectator Route (the Hamilton Paper) are away for a week. So while Em and Bren are away at camp, the rest of us get to get up at about 2:45 a.m. every day to deliver the papers. I am VERY proud of them. This is pretty much the first time that Beth has had much of a responsibilty outside of setting the table and doing some laundry. She slept through two days of the route (we must address her work ethic:0); at the same time, she IS only 6!!!). The rest of the days she helped roll and band the papers, hold the flashlight for me, and even delivered them. She did a wonderful job when she worked!! Austin is our athletic one, and we really depend on his speediness. He does a great job, but sometimes he forgets the house numbers. Oh, well, he is only 9. I am really proud of them. They would get up when they were supposed to, have a bowl of cereal, and then work. Yesterday, it had started spitting rain, and Beth said, "It won't rain for long. I asked God to keep it dry for us." It stopped spitting. It just seemed to only do it for that one particular house. It rained buckets today for most of the time, so Austin and I got drenched. I had prayed all week long that God would hold back the rain for us, and He did until today. I learned that I would not melt. It actually kept me nice and cool:0). We only have two more days of delivering, and Brendin and Emily will be helping, so it will go even faster. Austin chose to use his cut of the money to buy a camera. Mrs. McClain had wisely advised our children to journal their travelling experience, and he really took it to heart. He is becoming quite the little shutter bug, with the dog being his main model. I was sitting on the steps yesterday talking on the phone when Austin aimed the camera on me (or so I thought). So I smiled and he snapped a shot. He very excitedly called out, "That's a GREAT picture!" So I gestured to him to let me see it. It was a picture of the dog and my feet!! (See Austin's blog for a picture of Abigail the dog).
Well, Brendin and Emily come home today, and I can hardly wait, although they will most likely be BEARS from exhaustion. Oh, well, I heard they had a great week at camp!!

My Greatest Supporters
Well, the time has come for me to finally post what has been on my heart for the last few weeks. I don't know WHY I waited this long to write this, except that I don't think I was ready for the tears to flow. But now, everyone else is busy doing something else, and I have a few moments to myself. I can now think and write. Maybe. But how can I write all the things that are going on in my heart and mind about the people who have sacrificed so much for me to be able to do the things that I was most passionate about? How can I tell them EXACTLY how I feel, and how thankful I am for them?? My parents. My Mom has ALWAYS been there! When I was sick at school, and that was a lot!, she would take time off of work and come and get me. We did not have a lot of money growing up (I still don't:)). But our needs were met. My parents worked very hard to make sure we had what we needed. They taught me to work hard, and get a good education. They gave me my first car (it was their hand me down hatchback, but it was what I needed at the time. Apparently it was just perfect for my then lead foot!!), but they said, "You have to pay the insurance." So I went out and landed a minimum wage job. It paid the insurance. My dad took me out and taught me how to change a tire, check the oil, listen for new sounds, etc. that I STILL to this day look for when driving a vehicle. When I wanted to go to Mexico on a missions trip for a whole summer, she said, "Do it!!" When I wanted to go to Bible college 12 hours away, she said, "Yes, go ahead, God has great things in store for you!" When I wanted to get married, and MOVE all the way to CANADA from Texas, my mom helped me sort that out. As for my dad, he was not so willing to allow me to do all these things. So my mom and I had to give that over to the Lord, and ask Him to change his heart. It's not that he didn't WANT me to DO all those things. It's just that he felt that if I weren't close by, then something bad would happen... And he was VERY strict with me. For which I am extrememly thankful. When I was in jr. high, and friends with the WRONG crowd, they were going to places that would only get a person in trouble. I NEVER asked to go to those places, because I KNEW the answer I would get. As I parent my own children, I understand his reasoning. It is not that he did not trust ME. It was that he did not trust THE WORLD. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I do, and am so very thankful!
As thankful as I am now for how they were when I was growing up, I am so much more thankful for them NOW, and have been in the last couple of years. My mom has been talking about the Lord and praising the Lord with me for about the last 5 years. Since my dad accepted the Lord about a year ago, I get phone calls from him about how good God is! He calls just to see how things are going with us, and to say, "I just prayed for ya'll". He calls to ask a question about Scripture. He calls to say, "I was just thinking about yall". He calls to say, "Do you know what the LORD just did?!" I am so very proud of both my parents. They don't have much in this world, but they have the LORD Jesus, and each other. They witness to others, study the Word, love their church (Tabernacle Baptist Church, Lubbock, TX), and love their pastor and his family. That's all they really need! They are happy, and growing in the Lord. My mom and I have been spoiled. For about the last 4 years, we will talk most every Saturday for about 1-2 or more hours on the phone. We have talked so much that our cordless phone batteries are shot. But I absolutely cherish that time I have with her. And a lot gets done while I am on the phone, too. I feel closer to them now than I have EVER felt! And as difficult as the decision for Alan to make about going to Africa, it was the response that my parents gave that made it just a tiny bit easier. The never said, "Don't do it!" or "You could make more money here in North America", or any thing to discourage us. They only said, "If that is what the Lord wants you to do, you had better do it, and He will provide for your needs." I know it is not easy on them, but they have never voiced it. I know in their hearts, there may be some fear or anxiety about the whole thing, but they only want what is best for US. And that is to be in the centre of God's will. Not theirs. I emailed my mom a heads up about this posting, and here is a part of her response. I hope she is ok with my putting her words on the blog, profound as they were: "The Lord is the one that has given us the grace to be able to accept your and Alan's decision and to do it honorably. The Lord knew what He's been doing all these years, you have to stop and think why now? why not a year ago? why not 3 years ago?. When you look at it clearly, "It's all about HIM" and we do love the Lord." Her words. Thanks so much, you two! We love you so much, and thank you for your support!!!!

Brendin and Baseball
I just wanted to stop and give thanks unto the Lord for our children. Although many times I see them as not trying very hard or "trying my patience with a vengence", they do something that makes my heart swell, and my eyes well up with tears. I will post more later about the other children, but because it is so close to church time, this has to be fast.
If you know any little thing about Brendin at all, you know that he is most passsionate about baseball. He eats it, sleeps it, breathes it. He LOVES it. While school is in session (we homeschool), he is the most perfect child during the week of the Blue Jays home opening. (Once I grounded him for the whole week of the opening, and he was not able to watch ANY games that week. Well, being a girl, I didn't realize just how important that week was for him, but he learned, and has minded his p's and q's since then). He has been playing in one league or another since he was about 6 years old. He is 12 now. When we first entered him into this league, we said, NO SUNDAY games. The coaches were all very good and understanding, as was Brendin. Because this was a tournament, we allowed Brendin to play, but ONLY between the hours that we were not to be in church. This last weekend, his team competed for the city championships. It was his team against the other for 1st place. If they won the first game, they were the champs. If they lost, they had to play that team again 30 min. later. They lost the first game, which ended at 3:10. The next game began at 3:50. The score was tied at 5-5 in the 7th inning. Brendin had pitched the first 3 innings and did a wonderful job and made a couple of awesome plays. At the top of the inning, he just happened to be first batter up. He got on base. It was 5:45. Church started at 6. I said to the coach that he could stay until he came off the diamond, whether because of an out, or a run. That was ok with Coach. He made it to 3rd base, but there was a third out, so it was then the end of the top. When he came off the diamond, he grabbed his things and said good-bye to everyone. Not one complaint. Not begging, "Can I just finish the inning?" Nothing but a happy heart as he changed his clothes and got ready for church. What a blessing that was to us. I am sure he was disappointed to not have been able to play out the rest of the game, but he never voiced them aloud or with a bad attitude. So, although his passion for baseball is great, I could tell his love for the Lord is greater. For that, we are very thankful. By the way, they lost and came in 2nd. Oh, yeah, we made it to church by 6:02. They hadn't even started, yet.:)
The first pic is of Brendin as he watches the Jays play. This pic is about a year old, but that is how he dressed everytime he watched them play. The second pic is of him playing hardball this year. It was his first year of hardball, but boy did he hold his own!!

Well, I gotta go!
Take care, everyone, and have a wonderful evening!

Free Time, What is THAT??!!
I know, I know, this is the 2nd blog today. But, guess what?! I only have some laundry, ironing, a small bit of painting, and a few dishes to do today!!! I can't believe it!! For the first time since I came home from Texas in April, I have hardly anything to do!! The house is spotless, two of the children are content and getting along, the other two children are at camp, and Alan is working at the church. The renovations are mostly done (enough for me to take part of the day off). I don't much know what to do with myself!! I think Austin, Beth, Abbie (the dog), and I will take a hike on the trails today. I love those trails and will miss them tremendously. But I am thankful that the Lord put us so close to have enjoyed those trails for the last two years. They are beautiful!
As much as I am thankful for this break that God has given to our family today, I am SO VERY THANKFUL for the strength that He has given us these last few months to be able to get everything accomplished that we thought were necessary. Please don't get me wrong. I am not complaining. I am in awe of HIS goodness. You see, several times these last few months, I would pray, "Lord, please give me strength or time for a rest. Whichever you want to give me, I am happy with. " The time for a nap NEVER came. But His strength was ALWAYS there! God is good, all the time!
Just as I was typing this blog, the thought came to my mind: How many times have I had to pray for strength about working so hard about the things of GOD? HMMM...Oh me. The Lord is faithful, even when I am not faithful.
Psalm 113:1, 2 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.
Have a wonderful day,
Ida

New Pastor of FBC
Hey, everyone! I can't believe it has been a week since my last post!! Even though I haven't posted, the Lord has still answered prayer in a GREAT way:
About 2 weeks ago on Sunday, August 9, Pastor Jason Eagles, and his lovely wife, Faith, along with their two beautiful boys, came to our church and candidated for the postion of pastor (well, Bro. Eagles actually did that part!). We thoroughly enjoyed the preaching and the fellowship, as well as the special music that was provided. The church voted on the following Sun. night and voted to hire him as their pastor. Three nights later, he ACCEPTED!! We are so very thankful. Right from the beginning, the Lord has laid Pastor Eagles and his family on Alan's heart to pray about asking him to candidate. Right from the start, the Lord opened the doors and aswered prayer on our behalf, as well as the Eagles' behalf. Right from the start, we ONLY wanted the Lord's will to be done! Please pray for the Eagles family, as they have been on staff at Bethel Baptist Church, Simcoe, and it will be difficult leaving their church that has loved them and that they in return have loved. Change is rarely easy, but we thank the Lord for the peace and grace that HE gives us as we try to live and make decisions according to HIS will. Please also pray that their house sells in God's time. We know that everthing will be taken care of, right down to the smallest detail.
Thanks, friends and loved ones, for all of your prayers, thoughts, and cards. We are so greatful to the Lord for putting you all (ya'll for those of you in the south) in our lives!
Psalm 113:1, 2 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.

SURPRISE!!!
Yesterday was my birthday, and because it would be my last one here at FBC, the sweet ladies threw me a surprise party! (I expect to see you all at the altar on Wed. night for all the lying ya did!!) It was complete with the tastiest chinese food ever, the most delicious birthday cake, the sweetest fellowship, and generous gifts. Thank you so much, ladies! Your kindness and generosity does not go unappreciated. Thanks Karina, Loidy, and Mrs. Garcia for making the room look so nice, and Karina for working so hard to make things happen. Thanks, Pauline, I know you were the culprit for getting this whole thing started! Thanks, Denise and Sommer. You are so smart in the way you got me downstairs (remember, ALTAR!)! And everyone else involved, thank you for making my day so special! You all are forever in our hearts. Thanks for putting up with us for so long, and for allowing us to make our mistakes, and learn from them.
The kids were also so sweet! Bethany woke up and put her most prized possessions (purple pony, litte treasure chest with little rocks, and a sweet card that she made) in a bag and gave them to me! Was that not sweet?! I am pretty sure I saw her later in the day playing with MY purple pony. But that's ok. I can share! Austin went to camp for the week. He left on Monday, so he said that I would have a week of peace and quiet without him. I know it will be much more quiet around here without him, but I miss him terribly! Brendin and Emily did the sweetest thing. They were disappointed for me because they know that more than anything, I LOVE birthday cake, and I would not be having any. We were just tooooo busy working to get the house ready for a showing. There was just no time for cake. So after lunch, they said, "Mom, you have been working hard all day, and you need a break. And since you can't have your birthday cake, we want to get you the next best thing. A blizzard from Dairy Queen!" How sweet is that??!! "But you have no money, guys!" "We will have enough to get you a blizzard, and the three of us a dipped cone. We will divide the cost between the 2 of us!" Well, you don't have to ask me twice! So when we got there and got our order, we had ordered children's cones for them and a small blizzard for me (which I shared with them). When Em got her cone, it was so small, she said, "I paid $10 for THIS???!!!" We had a nice time! Thanks guys, that was really nice!!
Alan got me a nice outfit. He always does such a nice job of choosing nice clothes. Thank you, Honey, I love you VERY much!
It was such a lovely day, thanks everyone for making it so!! I thank the Lord for my wonderful family, and for putting such great people in my life.

More Answered Prayer
Hey, there, everyone! We had the opportunity to go to Henrietta, New York last Friday. The trip had a three-fold purpose. 1) We needed to open a U.S. bank account, so that when we are in the States, we will be able to cash cheques when needed. No problem. I just needed my passport and SS#. 2) We needed to get a cell phone # to put on our prayer cards so that we could get the cards sent off to be printed. That was accomplished, and the Lord answered our prayer in a great way. I will write more about that further down in the blog. 3) We wanted to take our annual trip there to see our good friend and missionary Jim Arnold. He is the field coordinator for West Africa with Independant Gospel Missions. When we first met him and two of his daughters, they were on furlough. Alan had just been hired on at FBC as full-time pastor. He allowed us to pick his brain, and he taught us how to treat a missionary. We asked so many questions about what we should expect from our missionaries, and what they expected from us. It was a great learning experience. His daughters at the time were still young (ages 8 and 10, I think), but boy, were they ever a great help to us. I had two little ones, and they just did a great job of helping to entertain them. I will never forget them for all that they taught us. So we have continued to stay great friends with him and we love his family dearly.
About the cell phones. We needed to get them from the States because their plans for coverage in North America are cheaper. So we stop at the Verizon store, and the nice lady answers all of Alan's questions. But she goes on to tell us, that our depost will probably be $400-$500. I forget the exact reason for the high deposit, other than the fact that we live in Canada, and really don't have much of a credit report in the States. So she goes on to try to sell a phone. Well, I think "Feere" is French for "free". We only wanted the free cell phones, which they do not do there in their little store. Alan said that we could get them online for free, so she encouraged us to do that. Then we go to Best Buy, where the young man there is very friendly and very knowledgable about his job. The only thing is that he had never heard of the kind of plan we wanted, so he did a lot of talking to head office. He was VERY patient! Then he goes to get us phones that we want, the FREE kind. He says to us, "Because you have to use your passport and SSN as a form of i.d., your deposit will most likely be around $500. I have never put in an application using a passport where the deposit was not a high one." I look at Alan, because I know that there is NO way we were going to pay that kind of deposit! So Alan says, "Can you just run the application and see how far we can go before a deposit shows up?" So the fella says, "Yeah, I can do that!" The Lord pushed it through! All the way, with NO deposti!! The young man was VERY surprised, but we knew Who was in control!

The Pattern
I was asked to make a couple of pair of culottes for someone very special (Jordan). I was very happy to be able to help out, and with my brilliant sidekick (Emily) beside me, I just knew we could get it done in just a couple of hours. You see, just last year we made close to 25 pair together. It felt like I could do it in my sleep! So, I look for my pattern, which I just knew I packed away in my bedroom closet, but for some strange reason, it disappeared. Well, I thought I would be able to get it done from memory (which, due to age is also quickly disappearing!). Who needs a pattern, right?! I cut out the material and started sewing away, all the while knowing in my gut that something just doesn't look right. I asked Em to try it on for me, but she couldn't even pull them up over her hips. Cancel that pair (it was a good thing that I had used some old material that was just laying around). I went to Fabricland and found a pattern that I thought I could fudge a little (it is so hard to find modest apparel nowadays, even in a pattern, but that is another blog for another day!). This morning, the pattern was cut out, and with it two very modest-looking pair of culottes were transformed!! Yay!! Emily did a lot of the sewing, and I did the hard parts. The spiritual part that came to mind was this:
Many times we think that we as Christians can do things our way to try to make our lives turn out right, and make the Lord happy with that. However, God has given us a pattern for our lives, and many times we think our way is better. We can find it in His Word, but we don't read His word, much less apply it to our lives. I am thankful that we don't have to go through life without His guidance and direction. What a great God we have!

Answered prayer
The reason I asked Alan to set up a blogspot was because I wanted something to help us to keep track of answered prayer, and at the same time, keep friends and loved ones in touch with what God is doing in our lives. Here are a few answers to prayer that the Lord has provided in just a few short weeks, since surrendering to the mission field:
a laptop and a camera
someone has made a donation towards our printing costs--Thank you!!
a donation was made from the V.B.S. children of Bible Baptist Church, Salt Lake City, Utah-- Thank you!!
The house is being renovated in preparation for a quick sale--Thank you Hermano Luis!! (and Mrs. Karina for giving up so much of your time with him to be able to help us) We are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! (Thanks to the Lord for the strength He gives us daily)
Family photos completed for the prayer card--Thanks to Hermano Edgar for doing the photographing
a display board
A special thank to the Rutherford family for your sweet fellowship these past few weeks! It has been a nice distraction from the busyiness of all that is going on.
Ps 135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

Called to Africa!!
As Alan said previously, we are looking for a new pastor for Faith Baptist Church of Hamilton, ON. The reason for that is because the Lord has called him to be a missionary to Togo, West Africa. We have been at Faith since we were first married. That's 15 years!! We praise the Lord for giving us this wonderful congregation with whom to serve and grow. We feel like we grew up here! All four of our children were born here, and were in church since the first Sunday they were born. The church is growing and exciting things are happening! But God chose for us to leave. I am thankful that there were no problems that are pulling us away. I am so thankful for a group of people who want to serve the Saviour, and who takes care of their pastor. Although they are sad to be losing him as their pastor, they have been most encouraging and are excited to see what God is doing in this next chapter of our lives. We love you Faith, and we will miss you terribly! Thank you so much for allowing God to use you in such a great way in our lives, and for loving us so much! May the Lord richly bless you as you endeavor to serve our Lord, and look for a pastor to lead you.
We will miss Canada so much. The Lord is so good to give us this great land. We love it here!! However, God has placed another love in our hearts as well. You see, Alan went on a missions trip to West Africa 2 1/2 yrs. ago. He absolutely loved it, but at that time, he did not intend on ever leaving Canada. Fast forward to Spring of 2009. I did not know that the Lord had been "talking" to him about Africa. What I knew was that for some reason, there was such a longing for it. It seemed that that was all he could talk about. But he still never said anything to me about going, or even asked my opinion, or anything. When he first prayed about it, he basically said to the Lord, "If this is what you truly want, you will have to put a neon sign in front of me that says, Africa, this way! And would you put it in Ida's heart to where she will bring it up first." Well, in April, I had the privilege to fly to Lubbock, TX to see my parents get baptized (that will be another blog). (I am so happy for them and VERY proud of them. They are really growing in the Lord by leaps and bounds!!!) Anyway, while I was there, I had never planned on mentioning anything to them, but for some reason, I just started talking about Africa. I told them that I felt I had to prepare them about something. I said, "I don't really think it will be anytime in the near future, but for some reason, Alan seems to be longing to go to Africa. It seems he can't focus, and it doesn't matter what the situation at church is, he just seems to be talking more and more about it. He's not talking about going, he is just talking about IT." I said, "If he says that God is calling him to go, I will NOT discourage it, and the children and I will happily go and serve with him." I was told, "You know that Africa is a very dangerous place, but if that is where God wants you, then that is where you need to be! And He will take care of you and your needs." Just like that. This from a man that had at that time only been save for about 6 months!! My heart overflowed with joy at that satement!! I called Alan because I was soooo excited about what had just happened. He said, "Wow, George has really grown!!!" It wasn't until I got home that he realized that his prayer had been answered. When I recounted to him excatly what happened, he turned white, but he still did not say anything to me. It was a couple of weeks later, after many sleepless nights for him, that he started seeking counsel from other pastor friends. God still would not give him peace in his heart until he came right out and said, "I will go!!!" He has slept like a baby ever since!!! There is so much more that happened to get him to that point. He argued with the Lord many times, and thankfully, the Lord won.
