Family
Posted: May 25, 2010
As I write today, Eleanor and I are visiting family in SC. Except for my parents, none of my family had met her. We spent yesterday with my 90 year old grandma. These are very special moments. My sweet baby will soon be 4 months old. Time is flying by.
We are finally settling into normal life in Texas. Yes, it’s blazing hot, but I won’t start whining. There are too many blessings to make up for it. We are right where God has led us and there is no place like the center of His will.
I have missed my Avalon family and look forward to our shows starting in a few weeks. I feel so blessed to have a wonderful ministry in Avalon and now, a wonderful church family at Woodlands Church.
Stay cool. Baby is crying and duty calls….

A Very Present Help . . .
Posted: May 10, 2010
So how ya been? (‘pause for response…)
I am well and enjoying spending a morning with God. I spoke this morning, via Facebook, with someone who encouraged me about ministry and Avalon. He took time to share a story about how Avalon has ministered to him and how the new album, especially ARISE, has taken him out of his present situation to a higher place in God. I am always humbled at how God speaks to his children through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is an honor to be a vessel and your stories mean the world to us all.
Amy and I are doing well, our girls are hysterical and so loud. Ariah is gearing up for her first ballet recital in which she is a mermaid. She has been a little upset that she has to wear pants for that dance. “Ballet dancers don’t wear pants!” she said. We encouraged her that mermaid dancers do. Shalom is the “bull in a china shop” child. She does everything dramatically… We’ve been singing the B-I-B-L-E with her and now she says Bible all the time. I am not sure she understands what she is saying… she could be asking for a bottle 
She is so sweet. Definitely our bundle of peace.
2010 has been an action packed time in the family of Avalon. We have experienced both sides of the spectrum of life. I am always reminded that God is not far off but a very present help… Would you all please help us pray for our dear friend Kristy. She has spend years traveling with us and has maintained sanity on the road through the care of our children. Her family is need of a miracle. Please pray for her and the family. God is in control but we often need to peace that passes understanding to surround us with songs of deliverance. The Mayfield family needs our prayers.
love you all and thanks for all that you do.
have a great week
