Thank you for praying for our children!!

So many of you have joined us in praying for Elizabeth, Noah and Emma as they develop new friendships...and God is faithful to hear your prayers. They are all three having such a great time this weekend playing with their new friends. The picture below is of Emma and Gabby at the pool Friday night (it has become a Friday night thing for us to go to the pool...it's indoor, on campus and FREE!!). Gabby is her cousin that just moved here with her parents so her dad could attend seminary. We are excited Richard, Maribeth and Gabby are a part of our lives!! Gabby also came over Saturday morning to hang out with Emma.

The next two pictures are of Emma with her new friend, Alex. Elizabeth met his big sister, Vanessa (pictured below with Elizabeth) and he came over to play with Emma this afternoon. We have met Vanessa and Alex's mom and dad as well and are thrilled to know them. Elizabeth and Vanessa are SO much alike...both love reading and American Girl dolls. They have wonderful hearts and we have a feeling this family will be an active part of our lives!!

The pictures below are of Noah with some friends we've known since we moved here. Great kids with great smiles!! Noah is also still enjoying meeting new kids at the seminary kids choir that he goes to each week.

Favorite Quotes:

"The world is not our place of rest; it is a time of work and follow hard after Je$us. When we get home, we can rest. But for now, G*d is calling His children to share the gospel of the cross, the power of our Holy Father; it's time we obediently follow Him. May we all live our lives in a manner worthy of the calling we have received in Chr!st Je$us. May we live lives we will never regret." -- FACING TERROR, Carrie McDonnall
"Waiting on G*d requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within myself the unanswered question, lifting my heart to G*d about it whenever it intrudes upon my thoughts." --Elisabeth Elliot

"Great advances in demonstrating the B!ble's relevance rarely come from the restless minds of marketers. They come from people who dare to obey what they read. ...On the cruel edges of the world, there is no need for elaborate explanations to bring a distant b!blical text closer to our lives. Rather, when we go to the cruel edges of the world, we bring our lives closer to the text." --Andy Crouch, Chr!stianity Today
"...because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing." -- Oswald Chambers, MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
"TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TAKE. TAKE YOUR PIANO, YOUR APPLIANCES, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO TAKE. BUT TAKE THEM IN YOUR HANDS. IF THEY EVER GET INTO YOUR HEART, YOU ARE THROUGH AS A M." -- Dr. Baker James Cauthen, exec. sec. of the company, 1962.
“Lay it all on the altar – your life, your family, your comforts – and count it joy that you have the privilege of serving Him, and you’ll have the song in your heart." -- Jerry Rankin, company President
To watch her suddenly get the fact that the B!ble is not just some archaic, out-of-touch religious guide for freaks but the living, powerful Word of Truth that will speak right into the home, workplace, and romance is what I live to see.--Beth Moore
