YES!!!!

DRUM ROLLS PLEASE! My husband bought an "air card" today so he could get online at all times to do District work, and I get to use it! I am so happy and excited about it! So, I am sitting in our motorhome typing my little heart out and enjoying checking other blogs! I won't be disconnected, any longer, and will be able to blog just about anytime I want to.

We finally got a semblance of order in our "little house" today, so it is feeling much better. We've always enjoyed travelling in our motorhome, so we will be fine for awhile. (until our house sells) and we know what we want to do.

We went to eat in Nacogdoches for lunch. We were both hungry for catfish, so we found out about Clear Springs Restaurant, and headed over there. We were impressed with the food and enjoyed it very much. On our way back to Lufkin my phone rang and it was Jonathan asking where we were. I told him and asked him what he was doing, and he said, "Well, I just knocked on the door of your motorhome!" We were so happy to see him and Brenda! The girls were with friends, so they took a "Saturday afternoon drive" and came to see us. It made everything seem "right" to have "the kids" show up!

I think I'm going to like living here. I get excited thinking about the district and all that happens here. There is a lot of work to keep things going, but my husband will do a wonderful job. LOL! Of course, I would think so, but I know he will. I've been married to him for a LONG time and I know him better than anyone else alive, so I have no doubt he will do all he can to be of assistance and help to the ministers of Texas. I will stop there, but I could write a long time about the man I love and respect more than anyone else in this world! He has been my husband, yet, he has been my Pastor for many years, and I trust him with my "heart and soul"!

I trust you all will have a wonderful Sunday. I will be checking back soon!

Hey, hey, truly where there is a will (and a husband with an air card) there is a way.

Glad all is going well.

Catfish.........down south......oh that sounds so good.

Also, the TX District did find the "best" man to do the job.

One of the things I miss about Texas is the Fried Catfish. Mmmm...good! You will have to take me there when I come for a visit. I'll wait 'til you get a house though. :)

Texas' fried catfish! Yum! We went to a catfish restaurant outside of Houston years ago - and I was amazed, the thing was so big that it fell over the sides of the plate but was it good.

Jeremy Lynch said...

I new Bro W Elms was a great person. Had sent a message with my Pastor. But he had already looked after all of us Blog junkies that just can't get enough of your walk through life. Will do something nice for Bro Elms when I get the chance. Again tell him thanks for looking out for you internet and all of us Blog junkies.

yummy clear springs is really good. Nacogdoches is not to far from lufkin it has better water!!!! I am so glad my parents did not move to lufkin until after I got married. I can handle the water for a weekend. Love Ya'll

Christina said...

Well it just seems funny within me when I think of you both actually being down there in East Texas where my husband and I grew up, LOL! It just doesn't seem like your suppose to be down there already either, but we all know how time flies. We are going to be at Family camp this year so we will be sure and catch you both for a hug and to say hi!

Linda Elms said...

Julie, I have decided that Lufkin is going to be alright. I never dreamed I would live here, but who am I to know the "what, when, where, and why" about "life". We're just in His hands. Love ya'll, too!

Christina, I know what you mean! Who would have ever thought I would be living in East Texas? Well, I'm sure it's going to be fine, especially when I get settled in a house. Please keep praying for ours to sell SOON! I will be looking forward to seeing ya'll at Camp Meeting!!! That will be wonderful! Love you!

Kevin Hopper said...

Glad to hear you guys are finding your way around. I am sure the Catfish was good1 I always enjoy good Texas Catfish with all the trimmings! Maybe we will stop by and see you! LOL! Who knows what the future holds.

Sis. Elms,
It is good to hear that you are getting settled with the new appointment. It was reassuring to hear that you would continue blogging. I read your blog daily and would miss reading about what is happening in Texas. Thanks to Bro. Elms for getting the internet card.

Linda Elms said...

Kevin, ya'll are always welcome to "stop by" for a visit and some TEXAS catfish! Let me know when you're coming our way. :)

Tredways, I'm happy to hear from you again. I read Bro. Elms what you said, and he just smiled! You read MY blog everyday? Amazing! I'm glad you enjoy it that much. Thanks!

Joseph James said...

I just wanted to drop by and say, "I love you." I know it isn't the same typed as it would be in real life... but I mean it just as much!

Linda Elms said...

Ahhh, Joseph! THANK YOU! I needed to hear that tonight. I love you, too, and miss you very much!

Air Card? I don't know what that is, but I'm so glad you got one!! Now we can still keep up with your blog. I'm glad you're liking Lufkin and feeling better about the move. I remember Bro. Layne telling me that if you're NOT in the will of God, you'll always be miserable. Sometimes the will of God hurts, but I know time heals all wounds. I'm glad ya'll got some good-ole country catfish and were also able to see Jon & Brenda!! Sis. Elms, we will always love and miss you and Bro. Elms, but the TX District is soooo fortunate to have a Godly and capable man as Bro. Elms to keep leading Texas in revival. Take care, and keep blogging!! Love you!

I so glad you are making the transition from mesquite trees to the piney woods okay. Being raised not far from the piney woods and on the gulf...I'd say they hold more charm for me than the mesquite trees. We are going to Odessa tomorrow and I will see my share....LOL.
Thank God for air cards.\!!! I would not be in tuned with the computer world if we did not have one. What did we do before computers, air cards, and cell phones? Probably had a lot more peace...LOL. Love yall.
