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! 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. 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. |

( 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.
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.
