Baby Girl

With our new move we are unable to take our "baby girl" Molly. She has been our only girl for 12 years now. She has been very sick with kidney failure and muscle wasting and we found out Monday we would have to find a new home for her, and that has been very hard for us at this point in her little life where she has been so sick and loves being home with her family! We posted on facebook and some very dear friends at church put the word out and we had an awesome family say they were praying about taking her in. However, tonight as we are in Fl. Molly is being kenneled at her awesome vet who has always taken care of her for us called to let us know Molly's condition had worsened dramatically and we need to have her put to sleep. We are crushed and so broken hearted. We were hoping and praying she would go at home in her sleep and we would not have to make that decision. We are picking her up at the kennel Monday night when we return home to OH and will be keeping her with us all week, spoiling her rotten and enjoying every minute with her. I know it may sound real silly to ask for prayer for a dog but we have had so many things and people taken over the past several months everything seems to pouring down all at once! We are hoping she goes peacefully at home this week. Thank you all for your prayers as our family goes through so many changes. God bless you all,

Movin' On!

Well, as many of you know (from facebook) we have had some serious changes come about in the past few days. We have been in such a struggle with Josh not being able to find work for so long, and working a schedule that allows us to continue to be full time in our ministry as we prepare to leave for Uganda. I only work 2 nights a week and it is just not enough to sustain. We have been in much prayer and we feel God has opened doors for us in St. Petersburg, FL. There are missionary homes that we are able to live in for a much cheaper price than what we pay in OH. We are in Fl. now checking out the housing, signing the paper work and I actually had 4 interviews today at different hospitals around town! We will be speaking Sunday morning at a wonderful church here in Tampa then heading back to Ohio late Sunday afternoon. We would really appreciate your prayers at this time. We have 3 weeks until we the big move. This was all so sudden, we have NOTHING packed and not even a box to put it in!! We know God's grace is more than sufficient and He would never give us more than we can handle! Thank you all for your continued prayers........ we will keep you updated!
God Bless

Ultrasound!

We had our final ultrasound today and the baby looks wonderful!! We are praising God for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy! And.....It's another boy!!! (pictures coming soon!)

Alive!

John 14:19 – Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

Enough said, don't you think?

Thank you Lord for being crucified and buried but most of all for returning with the key s to death, hell and the grave in your hands! Let us never forget to share this gift with everyone we come into contact with.

Stillness.....

I meet you in the stillness of your soul. It is there that I seek to commune with you. A person who is open to My Presence is exceedingly precious to Me. My eyes search to and fro throughout the earth, looking for one whose heart is seeking Me. I see you trying to find Me; our mutual search results in joyful fulfillment. Stillness of soul is increasingly rare in this world addicted to speed and noise. I am pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and I can meet. Don't be discouraged by the difficulty of achieving this goal. I monitor all your efforts and am blessed by each of your attempts to seek My face!

Pretzels!

The pretzel dates back to 600 A.D. and was first made my the monks who used it as a reward for the children who learned their prayers. It is a sign of love and forgiveness! The design came from the children's arms as they were folded and crossed as they prayed. Sam and Zach loved the story of the pretzel, loved making the mess all over momma's kitchen, but most of all the loved eating up these delicious home made goodies!

Kentucky Mountain Bible College

I had only my second solo trip so far. Well, sort of. My dad came along to keep me company on the five-hour ride to Kentucky. It was a great trip. The students and staff at KMBC made both of us feel so welcome to their beautiful campus. We had plenty of time to meet and fellowship with many of them during dinner on Thursday and then breakfast and lunch on Friday. I did realize Thursday night that I am too old to still be playing full court basketball with college guys!

I was blessed to have the opportunity to share our calling with them during Chapel on Friday morning. What a great bunch of students – it's so exciting to see so many young people on fire for God! They were very responsive and even closed the service by praying over our family and our ministry. Thanks again to Russ Frazier for arranging the visit and to everyone else as well for making my dad and me feel welcome!
