*alert*

* as a post note - i just re-read my last blog and there are several mistakes. it drives me insane, and i just had to get it out that there were errors. i don't know how to go back and fix them so this is my way of making myself feel better about the fact that they are there. yes, i am crazy for now posting this.

rewind . . .

the month of february, and this first part of march has been the hardest time for me since moving to louisville this past july. there have been lots of ups and downs, and i'm finding that the Lord is continuously trying to remind me how little i control, and that doing things alone inevitably resuly is my own personal disasters.

we were blessed to get to have mr.bill and mrs.nebbie here in mid february. i secretly invited them up to surprise will for his birthday and was ever so pleased to get away with it! it was so good to have family here and get to share in our lives here with them. though i had to work a great deal of the time they were here, will was able to catch up, which meant a lot to him :)

my physical therapy had come to an end and we are now in the process of working things out with the at fault party's insurance company. can i just say nightmare? it may be quite a road ahead of us, so please pray negotiations go over well when we meet in the coming weeks. the ugliest part of my nature has emerged from this situation and God be with the adjuster if he tries to pull one over on me. i may be blonde, but i assure you i'm not a dumb one :) he will know this, too.

the winter has been long and cold and snow filled. sunshine is promised in the future, and i beg its return! i've been in a funk with all of the dreary weather, and could really use a good dose of vitamin d.

one bright spot in my winter has been working with my beautiful children. in fact, will and i have had the privilege to provide a safe place for one of my children, by bringing him home with us for a few nights a week. it has truly blessed our lives. there is nothing like the love for and from a child, and let me tell you, this little guy will always have a place to hang with us :) please pray for him and his precious mother and siblings. God has done an incredible work in their lives, and i feel honored to have been able to be a small part of their journey through my job. these are a few pics from his sleepovers with "nanny." haha! that is what he actually calls me. i have no clue where it comes from.





God is good, and has provided in so many ways, when we are so undeserving. i will be finishing up with my second job at the end of april and am so looking forward to having some down time again. will has mid-terms approaching this week and we can hardly believe another semester will be done before long.

our future here is uncertain. we never know the next step. i wonder where God will take us often. pray for His way and not ours. pray that we may decrease so that He may increase in our lives. pray that the demonic forces around us would not gain footholds in our lives because we know they are constantly at work against what we are trying to accomplish for His glory. pray for our marriage. that it would remain strong and that it would bring honor to our Father.
