More changes…
Isn’t it funny that when you say Yes to God to do something, what you think he has in store…is not really what He had in store. So we are right now, to be more flexible, learning to be even more gracious, learning to be even more encouraging of others, learning to trust God more, learning to not have so much faith in my OWN plans, and remembering that God ultimately controls my life.
I am not going to go into a lot of details about Kim for the sake of her privacy, but she will be going to Teen Challenge for a period of a year or more. We will be keeping her daughter during this time. Huge change huh? So we will have 5 kids running around our house. WOW!!! I think I might have NUTS inscribed in my forehead. I think that sometimes, but I also know we really feel like God knew this would happen. He had mine and Tony’s hearts ready for whatever. And so here we are embarking on yet another new journey. 
Pray for the baby during this transition time and please be praying for Kim as she starts this program. That she would be encouraged and stay strong.
After church last night we got a phone call that my aunts sister died last night. You would think well that is your aunt’s sister so what is the big deal. Well my family is very close, even the extended family is very close to us, and attends all activities that our family has. So please keep our family in our prayers as they get ready for the funeral and what not.
So, that is it for tonight. I need a good nights rest!

I am really feeling what you mean here…about saying yes to God, and Him having something else in store for you…I’m kind of having a rough time with that right now, but I’m trying to be okay. I think that your family has a big heart! Taking in people who really need a family, and doing all you are doing for them..that’s amazing! God will really bless you for doing what He wants!
Wow Heidi! that is intense. Is Kim going to be gone for the whole year or just during the day while you watch the baby? It is so great of you to be willing to help her. May the Lord bless you with strength and grace each day my friend. I’m so proud of you!
