Life is full of changes!

It's been almost 2 months since I've written anything, where has the time gone? We've had so many transitions in these 2 months of my absence. We've moved to a house, my parents are living with us, we are currently going through the foster care process to become foster parents, and summer is in full swing.

Our move to the new house has been such a wonderful blessing. We have a five bedroom house, which has come in very handy! We were able to give my parents their own room and bathroom as my dad is recovering from ankle fusion surgery. He will have to be in a non-walking cast until Sept. 18th. It's been quite a transition for both them and us as we are getting used to living together. This will be a summer that we will always remember! With my parents being on the road most of the year, it's been nice to reconnect and spend lots of time together. Oh, and we also are housing their doggy Spot too... so it's a busy household!

We are only planning on it getting busier, we are going through foster care training and are hoping to be certified come this September. We are looking forward to adding to our household and are hoping that God will provide some permanent kiddos to our family as well. It's been an eyeopening process as we've learned some heartbreaking things about what our world around us is like here in Lincoln. We are constantly praying for the little ones who will be staying with us even if we don't know who they are, our wonderful Lord does. Our kids are mostly excited to have some new faces joining our life, everyone is a bit nervous about certain things, but know that we can trust that God knows everything that will come and he's got our hearts in His hands.

Summer is in full swing and we are having a lot of fun. Our summer has been busy serving in ministry. Caleb was a camp counselor at Camp Maranatha, Faith is currently serving a special needs child at VBS, and all of us have had the joy of doing Circle Ministry at Peter Pan Park here in Lincoln on Tuesday nights with City Impact.  Faith and I had the privilege of shopping for the ILA kids with some great ladies. Our home has been a flurry of activities with friends, our kids' friends who seem to fill up our basement whenever they can. :) God has been good! We've enjoyed all the ministry opportunities as a family!!  We are hoping to get away sometime in early August for a family getaway. We aren't quite sure what that will look like yet, but know that we all could use it.
