My alarm went off at 5am. Yawn.
We were out the door by 5:50, and pulling into the church at 6am.
Abbey, Payton, and Ethan left for their Testify Youth Choir tour today…they’ll be in Orlando for about a week, doing concerts and a little sightseeing. They’ll be singing at a youth detention center, Wet and Wild amusement part, a church in St. Augustine, and a home for terminally ill children.
They’re very excited and admittedly a little nervous.
Payton’s family group…his “dad” passed out mustaches for everyone. Perfect for Payton.
I’m thankful there are so many strong Christian adults taking care of my kids. Each kid is in a small group with 1 tour mom or dad. Makes those headcounts much easier to handle, and gives the kids a stand-in parent to help whenever they need it. I can breathe easier because of that.
The boys, being the youngest, also have quite a few big brothers to watch out for them.
Praying that my kids stay safe, of course. But, even more so, praying that God uses them as He sees fit, to further His kingdom and for his glory.
We miss you already!

They look wonderful, excited and ready to get on the road!! We are so happy for them and we also will be praying that they stay safe. Also glad, like you, that they have strong Christian adults and a mom or dad in each small group. (And then there’s Josh…the “big brother” to look after them,) so they’re definitely “covered”, and that gives us ALL peace of mind!!! So, on to Orlando with our talented singers, actors and dancers…God be with them. Let us know when you hear from them. Now it’s almost time for D-Man to get his last fitting and for my mom’s estate to be settled, 2 very important things!!!

I pray your children will be safe as they travel and that God will use this group to minister for Him!
