Fun Saturday and Bekley, WV

Well, we are on our way home from Bekley, WV. We decided to male an impromptu trip today to see the area that we may be moving to. It is a cute little area, lots of winding roads and the drive to get there from where we currently live is really not that bad. It could be in the winter with heavy snow, but not right now. In fact, it is a nice drive and the kids did amazing. We are still waiting to see if James will get the job in Bekley, the company that contacted him needs to get the contract accepted. I am so thankful that I don’t need to be anxious, that God has walked ahead of us and already has the path set out, no need to fret. Just put it in HIS hands, It would be a big change, with lots of decisions. Do we move or would James commute? If we move do we move all the way to Bekley or somewhere in between there and home? James already drives 45 min, so it would be no bid deal. We have found such a family at Highlands. I just made praise team; in fact I have yet to be put on the schedule so would I get on praise team just to never sing? I love the choir, doing the deaf recording, our small group, the friends, the family. Again, I must remind myself God is in control, I am not. I will just mess things up. We need Him, His direction, His guidance. We have too many times tried to go our way without seeking Him and each and every time we fail. The only way to be successful, ok bad choice of words, to be content Is to be in His will. So we pray that we grow closer and closer to God and that His will becomes our own. God is good, He is faithful. We are thankful.

My prayer Is that we seek God’s will and that every step we take be wrapped in prayer, that we TRUST that no matter what the outcome that God is in control. Well, we have had a great day, a full day. We saw the hot air balloons take off and land today, a first for the boys. We went to the park, went to the mall, went for a drive, went to another park, had dinner, and now are on our way home. We have been blessed to have to major meltdowns, no major crying spells. God is awesome. We are blessed by the best! Looking forward to church in the morning and getting the house clean in anticipation of Devon coming home on Tuesday. (He called today and had been on a Dune Buggy, mommy was terrified) Please pray for us as we seek God, as we take life day by day.

Praying that you all are reminded daily of His faithfulness and love for you. We are so lucky to have a Father who cares, loves.

Love you all!

Hmm...where to start? God is awesome! We are blessed. I think I will take it one by one...

Grace- She is doing great. She is sassy and sweet and everything in between! We were unable to make her appt at UVA due to car problems and our flight being cancelled thanks to Obama being in the area, but we will be contacting her doctor via email instead. She is still choking, but her runny nose and coughing has improved so much. God is good!

Zachary- He was officially diagnosed with autism. I am not sure that I have posted that yet. We have started Paxil and aren't seeing a difference yet, but it can take up to 3 weeks, so are waiting. He is having more bad days, he is stuttering a lot and the need for consistancy is increasing. We just have to take it day by day. Please pray that he will start to sleep better, we have started melatonin and it seemed to be working for a couple weeks, and now, he is waking at night and wandering again.

Joshua- He is onry! He is feeling his oats (I think that is the saying) We are trying to find a discipline that works with him so that we can get him under control, slow and steady wins the race right? He goes back to school at the end of the month and mommy is so happy, I think he is too. He loves swimming, he is becoming quite the fish and he has a tender heart.

Devon- He is in Oregon visting family. :( We miss him so very much. He is having a great time though and is being able to do so much more than he can here. Can't wait until he gets home.

James- He was diagnosed with Sleep apnea and we are praying that he can get his CPAP soon so he can get quality sleep and hopefully get his blood pressure under control. He is in serious talk with a company in West Virginia about a 5 year contract. We are praying for God's guidance because that would be a BIG move.

Maryanna- I am ok. I had a heart thing that sent me to the hospital a week or so ago. My pulse was 256 and I was diagnosed with SVT (basically a really fast heart rate that is caused my a weird current in my heart) I went to the Cardio on Friday and he is running a bunch of tests, put me on a beta blocker and referred me for an abaltion. In great God news, I made praise team at church and am so very excited to be able to sing praises to an amazing God.

Our van is dying a slow and painful death. The transmission needs to be replaced and there is something wrong with the engine (it won't start easily) The other day I was sitting at a stop light and my car just died. Thankfully it was not on the interstate. :) We are praying that we can find a way to get it repaired. We have faith that God is in control of ALL things and that He can make way.

Well, I think that is all, praying that all is well for all of you!

Love you you all!
