The girls and I are going to be here in Prescott through September of 2009.  TJ will find out where he will be stationed and we will move with him at that point.  I have weddings booked from April through September to keep me busy while we are apart.  It will be good to keep my mind busy and give me more to do!  I will update on our family life as things change and will keep plugging away!

As you think of us please pray for Gods hand over TJ and for His angels to watch over him as he is tried and tested in physical and spiritual ways.  Pray that he will be protected at every step of this new adventure and that he will be brave…but not too brave )  Pray that I can be strong for my girls and also show them that it is okay to cry when we miss daddy at the same time.  Please pray that the Lord will keep our hearts open to His plan and that we will take a step when He says and go through the doors that He opens.  We lift this time up to Him and know that He has us in His loving arms every step of the way.

I am sharing a picture that TJ took of a very special bible that was given to him.  This bible was his dad’s dad’s bible and he had it in the Korean war.  It is very special and he took this amazing picture of it the other day.

I know…its awesome!  Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers!
