Shad Point Scotts: We're in a Mess!

Well, as you may already know, we have been involved in a home improvement project or shall I say Steve has, since January- remodelling our main bathroom. It's been a slow process since Steve was sick and then left for a week to go to Germany.

As soon as we returned, we were back to our busy schedules- Steve was in meetings the first 3 nights we were back plus going back to work so there has not been a lot of free time to finish the job. As I'm writing right now he has been trying to finish painting and laying the tile floor into the hallway. That meant moving the washer and dryer into our bedroom yesterday so now I have a dryer for a nightstand. And since they are not hooked up, that means no laundry for a few days. I know when it's all finished it will be worth the mess but right now it's not fun!!

Steve is ready for the job to be done- he's quite tired and sore from using muscles he didn't realize he had anymore! I am my usual helpful self by keeping the dogs and myself out of the way! Sometimes I feed him if he really looks weak and in need of sustenance. But he has the dog's water dish nearby, so what's the problem!

We really need to get back to normal since next week starts a very busy time- we're getting ready for the Easter Journey which has become a major outreach for Cross Pointe Church of the Nazarene here in Salisbury. It began about 3-4 years ago and has grown into an all church program this year so that more people will be reached in the community. I'm pretty excited but it does take a lot of time and effort so March will be very busy. Please keep us in your prayers for the next several weeks.

Other news in the Scott family is the arrival of a new great niece- Hannah May Austin who was born Monday, February 18 to our niece, Angela and her husband Jon. Now they are a family of 5, with big brothers, Caleb and Johnny. Congratulations guys-we love you and are rejoicing with this miracle from our Lord.

Continue to keep Chris and Min and boys in your prayers. They have all been sick and hopefully are on the mend. Pray that God will direct their paths these next several weeks as they are facing some tough decisions and times.

We are always enjoying our time with Randy and Jamie each week. (Sorry, Mom and Dad Ellis) Being with them is always fun. We are very proud of them as they are continuing to pursue God's best. Pray for wisdom for them as they make daily decisions regarding the direction of their lives.
