« Family needs prayer... | Main | PRICELESS »

We are still here.

Just not online.  We got a new computer...a laptop!  Sold our old one on Ebay...love Ebay!  Been trying to get some kind of schedule down...three kids now!  Both of us working!  It is a huge blessing though that a lot of what we both do can be done at home and when the kids are sleeping.  We wouldn't trade the life God's given us for anything.  We are really happy here.  We are experiencing the joy of being in His will...finally.

As many of you know who prayed for us we came out here seeking, it has been an up and down adventure.  We are now in a place where we are both on staff at church and receiving steady income and yet have flexibility to spend time with people and build relationships and disciple others and just do Kingdom stuff.  Now I believe anyone can do Kingdom  stuff in whatever job they have, but I am thankful to have freedom and flexibilty and financial backing within our church to be able to do so.  I just feel really thankful for God...just for Him...just that He is...just that I can know Him...just that He makes life worth living.

Our three kids are just icing on the cake of life.  They are the dessert we don't deserve.  They are why we work so hard at "making the cake" (okay, enough with the metaphor).  Anyway, they are wonderful and they seem to really enjoy doing this life with us.  We pack them up and take them with us all the time.  They love the people and people love them.  Thank you, God, for Your sovereignty in creating Abigail, Brennan, and Caleb.

Thank You for You!

SOOOOOO good to hear from you. (Not like I couldn't have called, right?)

Flippin' sweet banner, too!

Glad to hear things have progressed with the staff positions. Sounds like a really good deal.

We'll call soon.

Much love.

Glad to know that you're well - and still there - with a new computer! I love the new banner, by the way.
Many blessings to your family.
