What an amazing 5 years it has been! When a friend spoke a word over us a little over 5 years ago saying that Allana would take a step back from ministry for five years we had no idea the journey that we were in for! I am not going to recount the history as that is available throughout the blog and in the above video. However that 5 years is up! And as amazing as it has been we are very excited about the next 5 and the things that God has in store. Both Allana and I feel that God is moving in our lives in a very special way. The healing and growing continues but the Holy Spirit is moving! Pray that we clearly recognize the opportunities God is placing in our path and walk it with courage and joy!

He will shortly be promoted to Sergeant. He is also completing his bachelors degree and has been accepted to the Anderson Theological Seminary.

Samantha will be entering her senior year in high school. She is working (and enjoying) her first job at a local ice cream shop. Chayla is enjoying her summer before entering her sophmore year and will be attending Camp Kesem, a camp for children who have a parent that has experienced cancer. This will be her third year! She is looking forward to continuing her horseback riding. Sami and Chayla will be traveling to Jolo WV on a missions trip. They are looking forward to sharing the Gospel and serving the people in that area.
Nisa, our miracle baby, is of course 5 years old. She will be beginning kindegarten in the fall. We school in our home through an online academy. Pray for Allana, she is going to need A LOT of patience.
We are so thankful for all the people who have loved us, prayed for us and supported us over the past 5 years. As we move into this next phase of what God has for the Guidry’s we value your support even more!
Blessings
Sam and Allana
