God has been so awesome..  There was a period of time when things were just at a stand still for the last few months..  Not bad completely, just not going anywhere, it was ever so frustrating!..  Mostly its was some real deep emotional and mental issues we needed to gain victory over... Its times like those you wonder if your prayers are getting passed the roof of your house.. But God always listens, always hears.. He is good and His mercy endures forever.

Suddenly all at once God has been moving and blessing in more ways than I can keep up..   CJ's game store is starting to really take off!!  He is makeing sales and finally starting to get the word out.. This passed week he made some sales at our local schools, and God has given him favor with the people he talks to.. I am sure his enthusiasum really helps, but God is blessing it none the less.. Heres an interesting story we dropped our business card in the fish bowl while at a restraunt last week, a couple days later we get a call from them, we won a free lunch. So we go in thinking we are getting just lunch, it turns out they looked at our card and was wanting to know about some games for the family night there.. I admit that was not a place I would have ever expected to see buying games, but God had another idea.. So now our name has been given to other managers in the area to buy games from us for their game nights too  ... God is so good!!! 

We are also finally starting to get a few online orders also.. Recently we donated a game to a tornament in MN. It turns out they ended up ordering a few more..   The other day we took a look at another store that is for lease on Hilltop Dr..  The building where Chuckie Cheese USED to be has been all renovated and  really is looking much nicer.. Its really bigger than we need at the moment but what ever God wants is ok with us.. We know God has a building for us somewhere on Hilltop we just arent sure where at this moment.. This is something we are still praying in to.. If you think about it, pray for that with us.!   This is Gods idea and He gave the dream, when this finally comes through, it will be a HUGE thing, much more than I am allowed to talk about right now.. But He plans on blessing it and will mean everything to us and will also bring much advance to His kingdom!

 And me, well... I have been busy as I will get out, doing demos  and promotions and sampleing events all around town.. This up coming saturday I will be passing out samples of Swedish fish and Trident gum at Walmart in Anderson CA...  I will also be in Redding Walmart passing out samples of Atkins bars..  I have found if we ask God for work  he gives it to us..  I am suddenly busy every weekend  and even some week days doing demos and sampleing.. Praise God!

 We have also been getting major breakthroughs in our prayers and in our personal life.. Some of which I cant go into because its SO personal.. but God is bring new understanding between CJ and I in many areas.. We are learning to rely on each others abilities and strengths and allow mercy to cover what isnt.. We have also found new life in our prays together...

 All of this is a small sample of all that God has been doing here at our place...

 We are so happy you have become part of it just by reading these blogs and praying with us.. You too will soon reap the rewards of blessing us with your friendship and prayers..
