We Did It!! - Our First Blog!!

Since this is our first blog and not everyone who reads this may know us let me start by giving you a brief history about our family. Tommy and I married on November 25, 1994. I became a step-mother to Tommy's 3 sons, Brian, Nathan, and Matthew. I have never liked that term step-parent or step-child. I love the boys with all my heart and they are just sons to me. Almost 2 years later Tommy and I and the boys welcomed a beautiful baby girl into our family Rebekah Chase Worthey. Chase was born on April 23, 1996. She is the joy of our life!! The boys are all married now to 3 of the best women I know and we have 5 of the most adorable grandchildren you have ever seen!! Brian and Gerie have sweet little Billy, he is 3 years old and such a wonderful blessing to his Granddaddy and Mimi!! Nathan and Hester have the next big sports hero Jacob Alan Worthey, he is 2 years old and the cutest little thing you have ever seen!! They also are parents to our youngest granddaughter Kinley Kate. She is so beautiful and such a joy to be around!! Kinley just turned One!!









Matthew and Sarah have our oldest granddaughter Hannah who is 5 years old and in Kindergarten, she is as smart as she is beautiful!! And lastly, but certainly not least they are parents to our youngest grandson Kaleb Matthew, he is also one year old and the image of his daddy, and I think is going to be just as mischievous too!! (heehee). All five of them are so special to us. We can't even begin to explain the joy we have experienced in becoming grandparents. Everytime one of them says Granddaddy or Mimi, we just melt!! Although we have not been able to be as hands on as we would like to be, we intend to change that as soon as possible. Chase is now 12 years old and is still the joy of our life!! She is in 7th grade and loves school as well as many extra-curricular activities. She would be lost without her cellphone and her laptop, but Chase's real passion right now is Roots and Shoots club!! GO GREEN!! RECYCLE!! Those are her themes!!

Now that you know alittle about our family I will get to the purpose of this site. As many of you may know over 2 years ago Tommy and I sold our dream house in Newnan, GA to follow God's leading into full time ministry. We moved to Wake Forest, NC for Tommy to attend college at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Tommy has worked hard and is doing very well in school. He is set to graduate in December 2008. Now really we should have started this blog 2 years ago, so that we could keep our friends and family updated on how we are doing here in Wake Forest, but we didn't, but God is not finished with us yet and we still have lots of things ahead of us once Tommy graduates. So we will be keeping you updated from this point forward. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin to send out Tommy's resume. We know the Lord has already picked out the place He would have us to minister and serve Him, we just have to prayerfully seek His guidance, so please keep us in your prayers. I will be updating as regularly as I can. We will post new pictures of Chase and our grandkids and Tommy's graduation and we will also put up prayer request. Thanks for reading and we hope you will keep coming back to follow our journey with our Awesome God!!!
