Moving on up...

Our new home!

Yes, we are moving again... not to the "east-side" but to the country. We will be moving to Dunnegan, MO which is about 50 minutes north of Springfield, MO. Our friends just bought some property up there and have asked us to rent the house across the street from them (which they own)! Kurt and Jess and their son Benjamin (and #2 baby on the way) are such a blessing to Kevin and I. 
We have become such good friends since we moved to Springfield and are so excited to be neighbors in the country together! There is a lot of detail that goes into all of this property so if you want to know more than just ask. The house we are moving into is a two-story, Amish built house. It's a little bit of a fixer-upper but has great potential. The property is 8 acres and has a barn, a wood-shop, chicken coup, a large garden, 4 greenhouses. Hope to have some more pictures available another time. As of right now we are planning on moving the last week in September! 
We are excited for what the Lord has in store for us in this new community!

Jumping with God


 Some pretty amazing things are happening in our lives right now... God has been working on our hearts in a lot of different areas. Now Kevin and I, along with Zeke, are starting a new adventure. What I have learned is that sometimes jumping forward is needed even when you can't see all the results. God wants to stretch you and teach you new things. If we aren't willing to jump, we aren't trusting, and you won't grow. I know that no matter what the results God will be right there to jump with us. 
Who better to jump with us. 
Our family is ready to jump, we did, and even though it was scary at first now it is SO exciting to see what's next with God. 

Yes, i know this is vague.

Answered Prayer

Matthew 6:25-34
As most of you know Zeke has been really sick with a viral infection for the past 10 days. Not only is Zeke tired of being sick but Kevin and I are really tired too. During this sickness there have been some pretty scary moments for us as new parents but I can honestly say that if we didn't have faith in God and His healing power and sovereign will we would have been even more tired and scared. Through the scary/confusing moments we have cried out to God with all our hearts. It is such an amazing feeling to feel God's comfort through the Holy Spirit and to see his healing being done in Ezekiel during this time. We wanted to post some pictures of Zeke today to just celebrate and praise God for the work He has done in our family during this time! Thank you for your prayers. They have been answered. And will continue to be answered because we serve a Mighty God who cares so deeply for us. I pray that the verse above will give you the comfort you need in hard times just as it has done for us.
Happy 4th of July!!
