Our First Christmas together.

Dear family and friends,

You are all so special to Ron and I. We have been married now 3 months and loving every thing

about being married. We are learning from each other and marvel how much God has blessed us. We have just bought a new car. It is a 2006 Taurus. It is was the best deal anyone could get. The interior has a oak custom color around the radio and a sunroof. We know it is a gift from God and it will help us in our ministry and we will not drive crazy. We will only carry special cargo in it, our friends and family and they will enjoy it too. Ron can get in it a lot easier than the Honda.I am not sure if I told you, but on Thanksgiving the Honda got sick and the clutch had no power. Thanks to our wonderful son Thomas, he let us borrow his car (hot rod Acura). We were able to have the Honda towed to his friends shop and they fixed it for only $180.00.

Ron and I have promised to drive to work together, since we both work at J C Penny Arden.

We can talk together, enjoy the ride and save money on gas.

God has been so good to both of us. Business for me selling draperies and hard window treatments has been good at J C Penney. Ron does well too. So we are humble.

We have been attending the Friends Community Church twice a month since we were married. Than the other 2 weeks we visit other churches and reach out to them.

We are going to continue to blog about our marriage and what is happening in our life.

May we all draw near to Christ

Love

Ron & Lena

WE JUST LOVE THIS GIFT CALLED MARRIAGE....

Happiness to our family and friends,

It has been now 3 weeks that Ron and I have been married in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. We are so so happy and know the blessing of our wedding was our vows before him. Thank you all for coming and experiencing the joy in our hearts. Love was truly seen by all of you as we talked and hugged each other at the wedding. Our marriage is a beautiful refection of God's love for each other. We have entered another door in our lives and are so grateful for the blessings we are now receiving as husband and wife. In fact we really do call each other husband and wife. Ron has such a great sense of humor. He makes me laugh all the time. What joy we see in each other. And yes I try really hard to listen to him. Ha. Ha.

We are still here for all of you too. Let us know if you need prayer and support. Serving the Lord is our main goal to please him.

We went on our spiritual retreat to Monterey. We had a lovely time seeing the ocean and doing our ministry together as the waves rapidly hit the shore. What beauty our Lord has done here on earth. We must never take this beautiful day or memories for granted. We spent about 7 hours at the aquarium. It was quite an experience seeing the little sea horses and jelly fish. We took lots of pictures. The 17 mile drive was out of this world. Seeing the ocean at its blue color of breath taking scenes. Feeding fat squirrels with banana chips. Making friends with the other tourist. Taking a walk at lover's point arm and arm with my moonshine Ron.

We want to thank you so so much for all the thoughtful gifts that were so personal. We will be sending you all personal thank you cards soon.

We want to express our happiness again for you attending our wedding. Also those who couldn't come. My mother Esther sang two songs. Truly that was so beautiful for Ron and me to have her do that.

We are now unpacking Ron's things in our new apartment. The move went well. When Ron left his old apartment of 5 years we prayed for all the good memories he had there. God has truly blessed us both.

We will continue to let you know how are life as a married couple continues. One thing I can truly let you know is ....HAVING SOMEONE TO LOVE IS FAMILY,

HAVING SOMEWHERE TO GO IS HOME,

HAVING BOTH IS A BLESSING.

Ron has been so good to my children and is a wonderful stepdad and is keeping in touch with them.

We have received the pictures of the wedding and will hopefully catch up all of you to show them to you. You can view therm on Maria Orsted site:

Yes, Family and Friends,

Sweet September is here and we are so happy that this beautiful month is upon us. It is shining on us from our Heavenly Father. We are getting so excited, because our wedding date and life together in our Lords grace begans in only 11 more days.

The time has really gone by fast. You can see smiles on our faces just thinking about God's joy in our hearts. We are truly enjoying the time up to our marriage and focusing on what God wants us to do. He is in charge and we express that he truly guide us daily in our lives for eternity.

We got our marriage License and Certificate of Marriage on Wednesday, September 2 and it was quite an experience.  Ron was surprised on the cost. But believe me he will get his moneys worth. Ha. Ha.

We are taking pictures on our wedding day at McKinley Park. So pray there will be lots of roses still blooming. Thank you for us calling us and letting us know you are coming to our wedding.

Together family and friends,

Yes, together we are here to share and help each other. " We love, because Christ first loved us."                    1st John 4:19

I was just thinking how blessed we are to have beautiful and supportive families and friends.  So many of you have gifts that God has given you and you are helping us with our Wedding. For instance, our cake is being made by our friend Debra Reeve who just took a cake decorating class.  My jewelry was made by my dear sweet sister Sandy. Ethel has made over 45o cookies with love , and she is Ron's and mine's spiritual mom. My spiritual sister Stacy is making banana nut bread. Thank you Tyla and Janeen for helping us with the preparations of the wedding.  My mom Esther has a beautiful voice and will be singing at the wedding . She carries a tone that is out of this world. My sister-in-law, Dove, made thank you cards. Every one is so special. Maria will be taking our pictures at the wedding and you will be able to go to her  web site and order copies. She will also make us an album which is truly a gift from heaven. Virginia and Barbara at church will be helping with the program flyer. Genny will play piano music hymns expressing the Spirit of the Lord. Andy her husband will do the sound system. My son Thomas  and Kerry who have done so much for us. He is the computer wiz. He designed the Save the date postcards and the invitations to our wedding. Along with those things he has helped us with our website "Jesus without borders" Ministry soon to be on live. Judy my daughter  is making the flowers and decorations for the wedding. She is a display manager for Penneys an knows her stuff. We are also thankful for Son Junior and Fabie. He helps me with my car. Even though he is in Texas. He is still an advisor on the Honda.   Ron's brother John and Cindy are making us something so special it's a surprise. Our special friend Robin will be making us a banner for our reception and she has so much visual talent. We can hardly wait to see it. Our dearest friend Erin and her hubby will be making a dvd of the wedding. After the wedding they will ask anyone who like to express words of wisdom to us and record that on a special dvd.   Thank you all for helping us for this is what our Lord wants us to do. Serve each other. We will always keep the memories dear to our hearts. Our wedding is bringing our family and friends together. That is the greatest give you can give us. We will be looking for all of you and smiling. 

I truly am looking forward to sharing my life with my beloved Ron.

We have now a wedding registry at JC Penney. It is under Lena Newman and Ron Anderson.

Also a ministry:   "Jesus without borders"      website: jesuswithoutbordersministry.com

We indeed will cherish the moment when we all come together with our Lord to share with our families and friends this miracle of marriage. We are asking our Lord to be present as we take those special vows in the holy presence with him. 

 Love in Christ Ron and Lena

Only 31 more days to go.....

Hi everyone,

Thanks for letting us know if you are coming to our wedding.

Time is flying by and we have only 31 more days before our Blessed Wedding day. Ron and I are doing the finishing touches and preparing the program for our Wedding. We have an introduction of how we feel the Lord has brought us together.  My mother will be singing a special song and a few other surprises for you. We pray our wedding will leave you with the spirit of God's LOVE  and the BEAUTY of Jesus' touch in your heart. 

Oh yes, Ron had a big  big birthday on August 9th. Ha. Ha. He enjoyed his favorite meal. The highlight was this Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cake. His favorite sweets are chocolate. Ha. Ha. We went to Baskins and Robbins ice cream later that night. Ron had the biggest grin on his face. Ice cream does a man good. 

I had a wonderful birthday, however too much ice cream can spoil a man!!!!!

I am truly blessed to be marrying Lena. I look forward to getting married, and do not have cold feet. My feet can't wait to get married and they wish the wedding day would hurry up.

Thanks everyone for your love and support. It is humbling to now how many people care about Lena and I. We hope we can return that love in the future.

If you have questions on how to get to the church or other questions about the wedding please leave a comment on this site or email me at ironquaker@gmail.com or Lena at pinkyface48@sbcglobal.net. We have had 120 visits on this site and look forward to hearing from you.

 Love in Christ

A BLESSING ON OUR NEW APARTMENT

Hi Family and Friends,

Ron and I have blessed our apartment on Sunday 26th of July in the presence of our Heavenly  Father. Our Lord now dwells here and we are grateful for all he has done for us. Our love

comes from him. As we receive his love our love for each other grows. This is God's miracle for us. We had our friends Tim and Eppie over and did our Ministry "Jesus Without Borders"with them and prayed with them.

We are getting excited as the weeks get closer to our wedding.  Family and Friends please let us know if you have any question concerning the wedding. We are always praying for our friends and family. We can hardly wait to see you at the our wedding. Please leave a comment so we know people are getting our wedding information.

        Love in Christ 

                     Ron and Lena
