October: Monthly Post

Wow! It's time for the October Monthly post already! Here is the second chapter to our story! Hope you enjoy!


 
Chapter 2~

Vivan's POV
Oh no…Nicole came down with the Flu last night! Thankfully, Mom is able to come and stay with her while Taylor and I go and hangout today! I am so excited to see Taylor! She should be here any minute to pick me up! David, Andrew and the kids (minus Nicole) are planning to go the Aquarium in Hot Springs, Arkansas! It will be a treat for the kids because their Grandma and Grandpa Clark live in Hot Springs! David is so creative when it comes to surprising the kiddos! Taylor just pulled up! The kids are so excited to see Aunt Taylor!

Taylor’s POV
I got up still having some morning sickness but really excited to spend the day with Viv!! I ate some breakfast and drove Andrew to work after our Bible study. Andrew’s job is so nice to let him off early today so he can go with David and the kids! I came home and got dressed and ready for the day. I face-timed with Natalie who is a missionary with her husband Trey and there nine children (soon to be 10 she is seven months along with there 5th daughter). Then I grabbed a snack for the road so I could try to keep the morning sickness at bay and headed to Vivian’s.

Michelle’s (aka Grandma Miller) POV
I am so excited that I get to spend the day with our sweet grand-daughter Nicole! With Anna expecting her eighth baby; a boy and Natalie expecting her tenth a; a little girl we are receiving blessings right and left! It is so fun to watch your daughter experience mother-hood for the first time!

Vivian: ”Look who’s here kids!! Its Grandma Miller and Aunt Taylor!”

Kids:” Yay!!!”

Taylor: ” Hey!! I’ve missed you! Come here Samuel! Let Aunt Taylor hold you! You have grown so much!”

Michelle: ”Hey Everybody! You all look so sweet today in your matching outfits! Are you looking forward to going to the Aquarium with Daddy and Uncle Andrew?”

Marie: ”I wish I could stay with you Grandma!”

Michelle: ”I’m sure you will have lots of fun with Daddy! Grandma has to take care of Nicole today!”

Marie: ”Okay! Can I go with Mommy and Aunt Taylor?”

Vivian: ”No sweetie! Daddy needs your help taking care of Samuel! Also, all the pretty fish will be there!”
 Marie: ”Okay mommy!”
Taylor: “ Are you ready to go? I brought an umbrella, it’s supposed to rain today!”

Vivan: ”Yes, I’m ready are you?”

Taylor: “Yes I am.”

Vivian: “Ok, y’all have fun with Daddy today! I love you!”

Taylor: (Holding Samuel who was crying) “Awww, Buddy we won’t be gone long.”

Vivian: ”Looks like somebody is going to have to take an early nap!”

 Michelle:” Here come to Grandma Samuel! Say ‘Bye Mommy and Aunt Taylor!’ What time will David be here to pick up the kids?”

Taylor:” Well, actually Andrew is picking them up around 11:15. Should be any minute! Come on Vivian, we better get going. Our reservations are for 1:00 and we’re having lunch before that!”

Michelle: ”Okay! You girls have fun and be safe!”

Vivian and Taylor: ”Thanks Mom! We will!”

Millie Keith, Books 5-6

~O~
Hope ya'lls day is going well! Its been raining like crazy!! The Lord always has a purpose for everything he sends our way though! To change the subject a little bit...It feels like the year has flown by in a snap! March feels like yesterday! WOW! Before we know it 2016 will be here!



Today, I will be blogging about Millie Keith books 5 & 6! 

"After turning down an offer of marriage and being banished from Roseland's for the crime of freeing slaves who did not belong to her, Millie Keith is finally making the stagecoach journey home.  Yet instead of finding solace on the journey, she finds grave danger, and three orphan children with a murky past, a big secret, and a strange connection to Millie's own Aunt Wealthy Stanhope.  Is it a divine appointment?






 "Millie Keith has finally settled in her mind that she will remain a spinster and adventuress forever, following in the footsteps of her Aunt Wealthy Stanhope.  She is quite sure she has made the right decision, until Charles Landreth appears in Pleasant Plains- just in time for the cruelest winter the frontier town has ever known.  Charles loved her once, when she wore silks and satins.  But can he love Millie Keith of the wild frontier?"

These books are books that you won't want to put down! I personally loved them and I hope you all will too! The faith of this young lady is incredible!

Sorry it's out a little late.

A Life of Faith: Millie Kieth

~C~

Hi!

Last week ~O~ introduced you to The Life of Faith series by Martha Finley. Did you look the books up? I hope you have! Today, I will be talking about book three and four of Millie Kieth!

Last week in book one, Millie was about to move to the great frontier with her mother, father and seven siblings! At only twelve years old! She leaving the only home she had ever known, her friends and her Aunt Wealthy Stanhope (who is a very BIG part of her life!). In book two she had moved and was trying to figure out what to do. Where she was to go to school, find new friends and stay in contact with old ones and help her mother take care of her seven younger siblings! Talk about a change! Let's find out what happens in books three and four!

Book three: "Millie's Remarkable Journey"

Now fifteen years old Millie Kieth prepared a Bible study teaching on the evils of slavery! (She's only fifteen!) She didn't know that God was about to give her an opportunity to investigate the truth firsthand. to help cure her president cough, she leaves her family and her home in Indiana to visit a wealthy plantation in the South owned by her Uncle Horace Dinsmore. Will Millie have courage to live out her faith amidst relatives she didn't know?








Book four: "Millie's Faithful Heart" 

                                                                                                                         

Still age fifteen Millie Kieth is still at her Uncle Horace Dinsmore's plantation in the South. Before she left her parents gave her three pieces of advise "Honor your parents, honor God and give you heart to Jesus". Millie thought these pieces of advise would be easy, but alone at Roselands Plantation she finds convictions tested in ways she couldn't have imagined. Will the high society life style change Millie?
