Bobert, BJ, Robert, Brother, Uncle, Son, Cousin, Nephew, Big Block, Friend, and most of all a FIGHTER!

BJ is my best friend DeAnna's brother but I never really think about him in that way to me he is just like family "my big bro".
He has four sisters, an awesome Mom & Dad, a brother-in-law, and a nephew!

BJ just turned 18 last month and was also diagnosed with bone cancer last month. I couldn't imagine hearing the words CANCER at any age much less 18!!!

He is the most humble person I think you'll ever meet, He loves to serve his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He is the person you can call and know he'll be there to help no matter what, and most of all he knows God is letting him go through this to bring all honor and glory to His name!

On August 8th BJ had his first week of chemo.
My sister-in-law Christina put up the song strong enough and I think that is the best way to explain BJ he knows he is not strong enough to get through this by himself but, he knows without a doubt that God is in control and God has picked him for a reason. BJ thank you for being strong enough for the Lord to use you!

Hillcrest Baptist Church.

After two weeks of Vaction Bible School we went to Hillcrest Baptist Church in Spencer West Virginia!

While we were there for a week not only did we get to meet some extremely sweet people but, Dad also preached a revival, fixed their closet, He put tin on a side of  Pastor Barrys roof and also did some little repairs around the church for them!

Here is a picture of Dad preaching!

 Here is two pictures of the guys working on the roof.



The revival started on Sunday morning and ended on Wednesday night..it was going to be a five service revival, but they asked Dad if he would preach at the nursing home on Sunday afternoon...so the five service revival turned into a six service revival but, you know the old saying "Nothing surprises God" he had already prepared Dad with Six sermons and Dad had no idea why until they asked him!

Here is a picture of five people Pastor Barry got to Baptist on Wednesday night!



Although we don't know the exact amount of people saved
we do know it was several and that God moved in a mighty and powerful way in the peoples lives at Hillcrest Baptist Church.

Vacation Bible School at Calvary Southern Baptist Church

After a week of Vacation Bible School at Kerrs Creek Baptist Church we went to Calvary Southern Baptist Church for another week of Vacation Bible School.

On Sunday morning "Sebby" (Dad) baptized two kiddoes!
Abel
 Abigail.
That was in awesome way to start out a week of Vacation Bible School.

At the end of the week was family night where all the classes got up on stage and did their class song!



After the classes did their performances it was time for Baptism!

Dad baptized twelve people.













After that it was down stairs to eat.




Every night during Vacation Bible School they took up in offering for the missionaries this summer!
They did a girls plate & a boys plate, if the girls give the most money Brandon got a pie in his face & if the boys give the most money Becky got a pie in her face... Well the boys won, so Becky got the pie!






But when the pie came out side things got a little crazy instead of only one person getting a pie in their face everybody did, it trued into a pie fight!


After two weeks of Vacation Bible School we were a little worn out, but to look back and see how God moved in peoples lives and also to look back at all the memories made in just two weeks...
It was worth every minute of it.

On Wednesday Dad did a Bible study at the pavilion where a couple who was also camping there that week came and  Mr. Shay McMullen came over to play the guitar and sing with my sister Becky.

Although there was only "7" (Gods number of completion) people there the lady who came with her husband asked Jesus into her heart.

Pray that her and her husband will find a church and that she will take the first step of obedience and get Baptized!
