We are still coming down from the excitement of our move next year. The kids can't wait and Jesse especially thinks tomorrow is moving day. I've found a great line of books about ex-pat living in the Middle East and am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. (Explorer Publishing Co. for you overseas lovers)
Emily and Jesse have a month left of school and this homeschool Mom is ready to be finished with the year. We have continued with robotics in 4H, attended an art class taught by Mr. Berry Stebbing from How Great Thou Art, and started baseball and softball. Emily is still in practice mode with her team, but Jman played his best all around game last night with a single, catching a pop up for an out and holding a runner at 2nd!
Lyndsay will be home next week for a summer of rest and car shopping. She passed her nursing entrance exams with flying colors and is excited to get the party started in the fall with heavy duty nursing classes!
Adam is doing very well. He's growing and maturing quickly. We look forward to a possible return home this summer in preparation for his Jr. year of High School here at home. Keep praying for complete recovery for him, please!
John and I had a wonderful confirmation happen shortly after the command list came out. Wycliff Bible Translation called and asked John to come on staff as a logistics missionary! He/We got quite teary and had some sweet time of prayer committing this before the Lord and seeking direction from him. Ultimately we both believe that this is the Lord's way of confirming our desire to serve Him as missionaries, but not yet. We eagerly look forward to getting to know the Middle East and using that knowledge for Him in the future. While we wait for the correct timing we are continuing to Study the Word, Stay in Fellowship with our church, read more about the Old Testament and study our Hebraic Roots.
What a blessing for our family that this Spring, a time of rebirth, has brought direction and burden lifting from the Messiah.
Pray for me as I am seeking the Lord's continued direction for a conference I'd like to attend in August for Mom Heart Leaders. See my side bar link to I Take Joy for more information on Mom Heart Leadership Conference!
Enjoy the pictures!
