Changes...

It's official!  Joe has taken a call to pastor Faith Presbyterian Church in Cheraw, SC and was installed there as the new pastor this Sunday night, May 18th.

We have been blessed beyond measure by our time at Covenant Presbyterian in Rockingham, NC
and have made special friendships and are so thankful for all that the Lord has been doing in the hearts and lives of that congregation!

My head is still spinning a bit, but we are getting excited about all that the Lord has prepared for us in SC.  Cheraw has been dubbed the "prettiest little town in Dixie" and is situated on the Pee Dee River, rich with Civil War history, with tree lined streets, a great Parks & Rec dept, a State park with a lake and lots of outdoor activity opportunities and best of all, some wonderfully friendly people!
The Lord has been graciously and patiently affirming over the most recent months that this is the move He has planned for our family. 

We have a closing date of early June on a house there.  (Our home in Whispering Pines sold in December if you missed/forgot that bit of info!  God is good and His ways are perfect).
The kids will be attending Faith Christian Academy next year, a ministry of the church and located in the old Cheraw Primary School bldg. in the middle of the historic downtown area, blocks from where Sherman camped for a while as he marched through.  Emily will enjoy the academics, the well-stocked library and well...Nate will get to play soccer & basketball IF he studies hard enough!
I will be working part time as a CNA Instructor and am still amazed at how those details were planned and what a huge blessing that is for me!

Unexpected Blessings, Birds and Bees

Well, yesterday was an interesting day. It came on the heels of a weekend of sickness, both Nate and Joe. Nate was officially diagnosed with croup and exacerbation of asthma and is still taking steroids and sounds worse, but the light at the end of the tunnel is on! Joe stayed in all weekend and sounded almost as bad as Nate minus the wheezing. We kept our family home (even from church, small group, etc) feeling like hermits. And, even though the boys were both sick, I picked up sweet Bella the dog on Saturday from a friend who works with the NC Lab rescue group. We know we eventually want another dog, but not until Nate is old enough to handle it. Bella, a one year old yellow lab- sheltie mix, house-broken, crate-trained 28 pound sweet girl, is going to spend a little time at our house and see how it goes. The kids think we're pet-sitting to help out Mrs. D, which is true, sort-of. The sweetest moment came yesterday when Nate gave a bedtime blessing to Bella the Dog. &qu

Overheard from the front seat of the Mini-van...

Nate: "mommy is E (a friend's son) 2 or 4? Me: "He's 2" Nate: "Well, that's not far from 4" Nate: After a moment "Mommy, How did E's Mommy get the baby sissy in her tummy" Me: "Well, it's pretty cool...God made a very special way for Mommy's and Daddy's to grow a baby in Mommies' tummies kinda like planting a seed" Nate: "Can boys have babies" Me: "No, God just gave mommies the special parts to have a baby in their tummies" Nate: "I want you to get a baby in your tummy" Me: "Well, Mommies parts don't work to have babies anymore" Nate: "Mommy, how old do I have to be to play basketball...."
