Violet is 4 Months Old!

CEREAL!!!
We introduced rice cereal to baby Violet today. She actually did really well. She finished the whole bowl with most of it having been swallowed.

In the background of the video...if you listen closely...you can hear the latest thing the boys are up to. They got a new Backyardigans video- quite a treat! Jayden knows how to work the remote so Zeke is spell bound as Jayden navigates special features and they watch the same things over and over again.

An Update on the Job "Hunt"

It has been over a month now and the job hunt continues. As I continue to search out what God's desire is for my family, I continue to get the same answer... I will show you. This is a new thing for me, to not know. I guess that is why God has me here, to continue developing my faith and confidence in Him.

Although I am not really intimidated by where He might send me or what He might call me to do, it is really tough to not have ANY idea! In this time, it is easy to want to start settling for ANYTHING that could work... however, that voice continues to speak... I will show you what I have and you will know it when I reveal it!

During this time God seems to provide "manna" through friends and family who need help with odd jobs or continue to support us through this transition. This is our primary encouragement from God that we are doing the right thing. I keep pretty tired, mentally, as I never feel at rest right now trying to "figure it out". Yes, I wish I had more faith and God is obviously making me wait until I completely give it up to him. I want to do this, but I am still trying to learn HOW.

Although things seem to be brought to the surface each week and applications are filled at, nothing has really become a serious lead yet.

Thanks for your prayers as we continue on this journey!
