God's miracles!


We have had so many God stories this year! From His grace to His provision to His presence that brings us peace, God has truly shown himself faithful in our lives. Our latest stories are answered prayers that have taken months of seeking Him to see the results, but His timing is always perfect.

First of all, last week God provided us a house to live in for the remainder of our stay here. In reality we didn't make enough money to be in what we felt like was a safe neighborhood for our kids and then someone from the church offered for us to housesit for them and trade work around the property for rent! It is a huge blessing!

Then, remember our stories about Natalie being able to do ballet last winter as an answer to her prayer! Well, she is still loving it and we are happy to report that now her and Isabelle are both on a 75%-100% scholarship for ballet/gymnastics!

For the past few months Natalie has been excelling in school. We have enjoyed homeschooling, but she is a total extrovert. She thrives around people, loves to perform and loves meeting new friends. We began to pray about putting her in a classroom, but the public schools wouldn't test her into first grade because of her age. Not only has God provided her a 50% off missionary discount, but a good friend has pledged to pay the remainder of Natalie's tuition for her to go to a private Christian school near to where we live! We even have someone to carpool with! We know that she will have a great year!

God is AMAZING! We have seen so many miracles in the last few years, but he never ceases to amaze us! Thank you all for your prayer and help! You have given your time, (to help us move) and finances (sometimes our support check comes in the mail and we have no idea who has sent the extra money) and your faithful friendship. You are all amazing too!
