Hey everyone. It's been a couple weeks! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I love you all and am still praying!
For me, it's been a lot of the same. We had a flood in the basement from the washing machine exploding and we were able to resolve it pretty easily on our own because Chris was quick to fix the issues. I am grateful to God for that because we worked together, we were calm, and we got a new washing machine and dryer out of it. Chris has been kind and loving to me and the kids. The other day, the enemy was attacking me. Making me feel rejected and alone again, but I told Chris what he was doing that made me feel that way and he actually apologized! He said he didn't mean to make me feel that way and I know it was the enemy just trying to defeat me again. Chris has also been talking about renewing our vows. He is having a change in his heart. Please continue to pray for him that God would speak to him. I am hoping he will come to church again soon.
Christian and Naomi and Anniya have all been good too. Anniya and Christian started school. Christian had a birthday party. Naomi is working on learning letters and colors and new words. Thank you guys for your continued prayers and if there is something I can pray for you for, please let me know! Always for our families. I love you all

That's so wonderful Sharon. I'm so glad Chris is responding to the call of the Spirit.
I've already bragged about my new grand baby ❤️. He makes all the extra work from Hurricane Harvey so much better. I've been spreading myself thin between my children and their families lately, and have been guiding the office (& my replacement that I'm supposed to be training) by telephone and text. But I came back to Portland yesterday and drove over to Ingleside and Aransas Pass to see the devastation first hand. Pictures just don't capture it. I'm going to try to get to Rockport today.
I texted David a picture if the baby, and he responded and we texted back and forth several times. But, he didn't drive the 3 hours to come meet him in person before he went back to Africa. I'm sure my son's feelings were hurt again, but he didn't express it to me. God still has a lot of work to do in that man - but I guess He still has work to do in me too, since it bothers me so. Lol
Take care everyone and I will continue to pray for you all.

Hey everyone. I'm glad to hear your positive updates Sharon and P!
We are doing okay. G went to Colombia to visit a (female) friend the week before last. It was hard because I wasn't invited and we are pretty tight on money so it was a real sacrifice for me to sit back and let him go. But he was affectionate while he was gone and checked in with me frequently and thanked me repeatedly for supporting him. I think they really are just friends, and that nothing untoward happened, so I was (praise God) able to keep most of my insecurity under control.
I have been crazy busy with school lately and I'm starting to feel burnt out. God and I haven't had much quality time and G and I haven't either. I can be a bit slow about things sometimes, so I was finally realizing today that the pace I'm living at isn't working. I need to adjust so that I can have more fun and enjoy quality moments instead of just being on hyperdrive all the time trying to get as much work done as possible. I'm still figuring out how to handle that, now that I've realized.
As I seek out more prayer time, I continue to pray for you all <3

Adrienne, I'm so glad you checked in and I just want to encourage you if you can to spend time with God! Even sacrifice sleep if you have to! I know that's probably blasphemy lol. Sister, God has plans for you! Don't let your plans stand in the way of His! Cause I promise you His are better 😉

Pat, I think you and I are in the same boat right now. Confused men and we have the answer for them, but they don't want to hear it. This is a hard place, but I will keep praying for David. I loved your praises though. Write those down them and keep them close to your heart
