The Joy of Laughter

TWO

This is Nathanael telling everyone "tank-chew"

I am learning more and more every day the meaning of treasuring every minute that I have with my little men. I was reminded this week that my little guys are on loan from the Lord and He is in control of how long I get to have them here on earth. My goal is to love them fully and teach them to love the Lord with their whole hearts.

Nathanael has been a true gift from God. One of the most rewarding things about being Nathanael's mother is when he runs up and gives me hugs and kisses out of nowhere! He has a super sweet spirit and loves to be with his mommy and daddy! We are so blessed to have been given 2 years with him and pray that there will be many more to come.

We gave him a birthday party here at our new house and invited our family and our entire launch team. We had a crew and loved every minute of it!

Getting Settled in AUSTIN

This was at Nathanael's Birthday party last weekend. More to come on that!

On our sunset cruise in TCI.

My 2 sweet boys!

We are excited to announce that we have moved into our new house in Austin and are very excited about it. The Lord has blessed us with a great house that will be perfect for hosting!

Since we left Chicago at the end of April it has been quite a whirlwind. After we left the kids and I flew back to Texas while Bryan drove ALL of our things. Bryan and I were only in Texas for about five days before we left to go on a much needed vacation. We were given a house in Turks and Caicos Islands for 10 days and it was fabulous. It was such a refreshing time and it was more than we could have really dreamed off.

The Lord has been gracious to our family and I know that he has protected each and every one of us. It seems like this year has been filled with many joys and many, many trials. We are blessed to have a Savior that is faithful and that is our refuge. It has been neat to watch the Lord prepare us for a lifetime of ministry.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8


Because you have been my help,

therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:7-8

There have been so many things that have happened that I want to write about but I have 2 small children and they kinda prohibit me from sitting for long periods of time. :) I would just ask that you continue to remember us in your prayers!
