Spring Snow by: Chris

So we just had spring break, right? Well I look outside and what do I see? Big big flakes falling. What do I hear? The kids begging to play in it. So we bundle up and take off outside to construct what will be a rather nice snow plumber! We were so busy out there building and playing that we didn't realize that our feet have made it to the point of non-thawed, and mom was needing to take the picture before she froze her preggo bottom completely off, we skurried on in. Homemade snow ice cream isn't half bad either. Matter-of-fact, it's all good and better for you then the bought stuff.

just a little update...

I had asked prayer for our family a few days ago, and thought you all might like to hear the answer. God says to "wait". Ok, so no I didn't hear an audible voice of His, but thats the answer we got nonetheless. Chris went Saturday before he was supposed to leave for OKC and the recruiter said that some stuff has changed and now is not the time to go. Prior service members are not receiving bonus' for the months of March and April. And they said he's got a little more work to do on his PT (sit ups, push ups, and the run). So we're in no hurry, like I said before, we want to be in God's will, whatever that is. So now we're just doing what we need to do. He's continuing to work on his PT requirements and when he's ready with all that, then we'll go from there. Thanks for praying!!!

Don't forget...

if you pray.....

Please say a short one for our family. As many of you know, Chris and I have been discussing him re-joining the ARMY. With the economy the way that it is at this point we feel that this may be a career decision that would be a stable one. Nordam, the company he works for currently, has laid off more than 20% of it's workforce since the beginning of this year. We are extremely thankful that he still has a job, although his hours have been cut drastically. Please just pray for us that if this is God's will that all will work the way He wants it to. If it's not His will, then of course, we would rather just stay put where we are. My main concern is that we are in His will and doing what Christ would like for us to do. He leaves Monday the 9th to go to Oklahoma City to take the physical and see if they will allow him to join. This is a huge life change decision for us and we just want to make sure we're doing the right thing since it will affect us for a long time.
Thanks so much for your prayers!!
