My 8 Kidlets
Jun. 29, 2009
Exciting things are happening!

First, let me reassure you that I am not letting Alexandra type this entry!  She suggested that I begin with "dirt don't eat dirt" or, should I not like that title, "flying pigs are tasty"!  Now, aren't you glad that she's not writing any more than that?! 

Next, Andrew & Sarah are all moved in to their new place - only 3 hours from us!    ( I am sorry that it is not closer to her family, for her sake and for theirs.  Been there, done that, doing it again.   )   And to top that off, Andrew called that very night to tell us,   "God just dropped a job in my lap!"  Work was a very big concern for them and this is exciting news.  Please pray with us that God will also provide quickly for Sarah.  She has applied for a Financial Aid position there at the seminary.  That would make things so much easier for both of them.

And finally, in a surprising development, Miss Madeline is a'courtin'!  Jesse F. requested permission from both the young lady and her father to court her.  Both happily consented.  Yes, they are young,  18 & 19.  So this is to be a long courtship, unless the Lord leads either to bow out.   I hope their family is as  happy as we are.    I do know that some of his sisters have been scheming for this very thing for years!!  They especially seem to be a very good match spiritually, both very eager in their love for the Lord and their quest to grow in holiness. 

Jesse is from our previous church so this will be long-distance.  For the time being, any trips made will probably need to be undertaken by the young man as I do not foresee being strong enough to travel that far for quite some time.  Right now, we are trying to stop the daily migraines I've been having for the past 6 weeks or so.  My, how the Lord keeps me dependent upon Him.  Anything He uses to that end, though it involves much pain, is still a good thing and I thank Him for it!

My parents have been here for about 10 days to help while the teens were at Worldview Academy.  They surprised us since I had asked them not to come.  I did not want them to make that long trip, particularly since they just got back from Melissa's in CO.  But I am very glad they came.  It has been wonderful to have their help and company!  We hate to see them go.
