DECEMBER THE PERRY FAMILY 2014
 |
Dear Family & Friends,
Merry Christmas to you all! Here it is once again...our annual family update.
The first half of 2014 was spent in preparation for Brooke & Emanuel’s big day, June 14.
What a beautiful and holy occasion it was as this precious couple joined their lives together
in covenant marriage. Loved ones came from all over the U.S. and even as far away as Australia
to support and encourage this union. Our family was overwhelmed by The Father’s lavish love poured out in countless ways throughout the entire process.

A New Season...
We find ourselves in a new season.
This summer Eddy was faced with the decision to either move to Atlanta with LifeWay
or leave LW and find something new. God made it clear we were to stay here in Franklin,
so after nearly 28 years with LifeWay, 15 of those spent on the road, he tendered his resignation
and has enjoyed a season of rest here at home.
He has helped me a lot with our essential oils “biznistry”.
In September he and I traveled to the dōTERRA convention in Salt Lake City.
We learned SO much and God really used this trip to confirm the ministry to which He’s called us. Prior to this trip He gave me the name for our ministry - Wellness 613
based on Mark 6:13 and Isaiah 61:3.
If you’re interested in more, please visit our blog www.wellness613.blogspot.com
and like us on FaceBook.
Eddy just accepted a job offer with Harper Collins Christian Publishing in Nashville
and starts December 8. We look forward to all God has in store during this new season.

PERRY PONDERINGS...
Brooke, Megan, and I drove to Kansas City to ring in 2014
with about 30,000 other passionate lovers of Jesus.Wow!
What an amazing experience that was!
Springtime brought wedding showers, a trip to Mississippi,
baseball, and of course, the wedding.
Summertime Eddy & I drove to Canada for another wedding
reception
and celebrated our silver wedding anniversary.
Our family welcomed a new nephew, celebrated Pop’s successful
heart surgery,
road-tripped through the midwest,
and Eddy & I went to the dōTERRA convention in SLC.
In the Fall, we helped with a local dōTERRA team training event,
ministered and were ministered to at our church’s monthly
healing & equipping services,
and enjoyed a
Thanksgiving visit from Brooke & Emanuel.
Those were a few highlights from our year,
but perhaps the bigger highlights were those we experienced
as we encountered God’s presence in ways only we as individuals
and as a family will ever understand.
He has taken us to new levels of trust.
He has given us fresh
revelation of scriptures we’ve read hundreds of times before.
He has performed signs & wonders in us and through us.
He has once again proven Himself faithful.
And so, once again, we turn our hearts to that humble manger,
which led to the cruel cross and all that was accomplished there.
It seems fitting to end with our family Easter photo,
since our resurrected Lord is the One Whose birth we celebrate.
With joyful hearts we wish you & yours a very
merry CHRISTmas & a blessed NEW YEAR!
With Love,
The Perry's
