Happy New Year

It has been awhile since we have had time to post. We all have had a different holiday this year. We were all sick and more home bound this holiday season. We like to get out and see lots of family during the holidays, but that just didn't work well this year.

The boys are busy growing and staying busy. Zac and Justin are doing well and enjoying school. Aaron is turning 4 soon and is very excited to have his birthday coming up. He has been counting the days since thanksgiving. Caleb is busy, busy, busy. He is talking more and doing many bigger boy things. He loves to run and play with his brothers. He and Aaron are very devoted to watching over Rebekah and making sure she is cared for. That brings me to Rebekah. She is doing well over all. We are looking to go back to Charleston (MUSC) this month for a heart cath. We are moving closer to surgery in a few months to hopefully repair her heart and lungs. Besides her heart problems Rebekah is changing and doing normal baby things every day. She is almost rolling over, babbling more and more, and playing with toys. She loves to touch faces, pull her brothers hair, and cuddle on the couch with Daddy. She sits up with a little help and enjoys watching all the things going on around her.

Mom and Dad are doing well too. We enjoy the time spent with all the kids. We love to watch them grow, ask questions, and try to figure new things out. Mommy tries hard to keep up with everyones busy schedules and keep things running at home. Daddy is enjoying his new job and working hard to provide for all this gang.

We are very thankful for all the blessings and many ways the Lord has provided and cared for us thru 2009. We look forward to what he has in store for us in 2010. We trust and know he will take care of us. There are a lot of uncertain things up coming for us with Rebekah's care , but we are confident that the Lord has already made provision for all of it. We look forward to his leading and guiding of our family.

Huge Praise!!!!

Praise the Lord I have a JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I start my new job today with a local builder. I will be supervising the construction of custom homes for them. This is a huge weight off us and a great opportunity to learn and grow in my field. Thanks to all those who have faithfully prayed with us.

Most of all Thank you Lord for providing for our every need.

Job Update

I talked to the prospective company today. It will be another week to get a final answer. The owner has been out of town and they have not had there staff meeting yet to make a final decision. We will be patient and wait a little bit longer. All in the Lord's timing.

Job

My interview went well today. We have reached the end of the process, and now we await the final decision. Either they move forward or kill it altogether. We are trusting the Lord for all of this and patiently waiting until he sees fit to finalize our employment whether with this company or another we may not even know about yet. All in the Lord's timing.

Thanks for praying.

Update/Prayer Request

Once again I have been laid off. The company I was working for has had there work slow down. I may get a few more days in here and there. This was not altogether a bad thing. I have been pushing myself to keep going, but I really am not suppose to be doing the heavy lifting anymore. So I am excited to see what will be next and how the Lord will provide the next job for us. He always provides our every need. So for now we are headed to NC to visit Grammy and Grampy for the holiday weekend. Some much over due time to spend with them. Then we will pick up the job search when we return and wait to see how the Lord opens doors. We hope everyone has a great Memorial day and we will check back with you all when we return.
