Life has been a roller coaster! I have been trying to make time to go to work, spend time with the kids and Jason, and to spend time with the Lord every day. Going back to work is not easy, but we are adjusting. I feel like so many things are constantly changing in our lives, but that's okay. Our love for the Lord is growing and we are learning to depend on him more.

This goes to all our family and friends...please keep us in prayer. Jason and I are both starting a new job, and God is already showing us people we can pray for and love on. I miss being home with the kids though and they are having a little bit of a hard time as well. We are still waiting to hear from AG World Missions on whether we are accepted or not. We are also continuing to pray about where we should go. Our prayer is that we will be in just the right place for our talents to be used and our hearts to be stirred. We have gone through so much in the last couple of years it seemed like the foreign mission field was only a distant idea, we are thankful that God is calling us to serve him full time.
In the mean time though, God is connecting us with other missionaries that we are able to pray for. Even my sister Cherie and her husband are getting ready to leave for Haiti this week which will be a planning trip. They will get to see the school they will be administrating and get to see where their house and the orphanage will be built. They are so excited! This will be the first trip to Haiti for their girls. I know they will fall in love with it just like their Mom and Dad. They are already excited about getting to meet the kids and helping them out.

I hope that over the next several months, as I try to keep up with blogging more often, that everyone who reads this will begin to get a picture of how faithful God really is. We see it every day in our own lives and I feel like I get just a little picture of how much God loves us when I see his hand of mercy and grace active in our family.
