I'm Still Here

Well once again it has been a while. I have so much going on, I just have not taken the time to write.

It's been a crazy year so far. The economy stinks right now, which I'm sure I don't have to tell you that. Scott's business is really off, the worst we have ever seen it. I have been trying to find a job, with no luck. My privilege of staying home and raising my girls I think has caught up with me. Now, no one wants me... not even Wal-Mart! I'll keep looking....

I have been so busy at church, I told Scott, I don't have time to work..ha ha. But I love doing it, it is my heart. That will be the bad thing about getting a job, I know that the ministry will have to step back, and that breaks my heart.

Well, with all that said, God and I are talking... I think I have done all the talking though. He has a plan, I know He does, He always does. He has just not choice to let me in on it yet. I watch Scott some home every and he is so stressed right now. I want to do something, I just don't know what else to do but keep looking. We are tighten our belts as tight as we can get them. But I know so many people are right now. God has blessed us for allot of years, and I know that He will get us through this also. He is so faithful. And I'm standing on that.

Scott is doing really good through it all, even though he is stressed about it. He has been coming to me and we have just been praying together instead of letting it get him so down. I know Satan hates that... but oh well!! I will take a stressed out praying husband any day of the week!

The girls are doing good. We got to see them for a few days in March. We met Ryan in Boston to look at MIT and Harvard for grad school. She is still got some others to look at, but she is putting the thoughts into motion. It is hard to believe that she finishes college in another year. I know this last year will be different for her. Allot of her good friends are graduating this spring and moving on. She will miss them, it wont be the same next year for her. But she is looking forward to being done and moving on to the next step that God has planned for her.

Sam changed her major about a month ago. I think it will be a good move for her. She is just about done with her freshman year. It has been a challenge for her, but she has grown from it. She has a new boyfriend, Brandon, he seems like a good young man. He is a Christian, and Sam says a strong one. That is always a plus... as long as he doesn't try to out think God... Oh Lord... don't take her down that road...hahaha... But Brandon is fun. We joke around some, and I'm glad he is comfortable doing that.

Well enough for one sitting. Will try to get on more often and share. God is working, that is where I put my trust. Please keep us in prayer along with so many in the same boat as we are. But most of all pray that God will bless the business that Scott calls on. We will be OK. Oh.. and pray for our upcoming mission trip. We have been fundraising the money, but we still have a long way to go and a short time to get there. But we really feel like we need to go. Guess God will really show us we don't have anything to complain about.
Love and prayers to all
