Miss Adelyn is 6 months old!

God is full of wonderful blessings and suprises life. Adelyn, our little suprise, is already 6months old. She has proven to be such a blessing to our family. She is so gentle and sweet and loves to give a big smile more than anything. You can already see the great bond between her, Reed, and Ella. She loves her goofy big brother and sister (who loves to hold her at every chance). Children truly are a gift from above and I thank God for bringing those little suprises in life into our lives even if in the beginning we are asking Him, "Why now!?" When I think of the children God has given us to watch over my heart swells with joy. And now some pics from Addi's first six months on this Journey.

A Finished Home

We are thrilled to share with our family of supporters that the house for Aleida, Hostillio, Clarissa, Christopher and Danielito is finished! The roof is up, walls are done, and doors are installed! This is a wonderful tangible example of God's faithfullness. As I have shared previously a short-term missionary from Arkansas felt compelled to give this family a home and it has been a true blessing to facilitate this gift. As you know we did not go to Honduras to build homes and do not believe it is our new calling. As with all of our lives the Lord will uniquely call us to His will daily if we are ready to listen.

A friend, Rick Barrett, who guest preached at our church in Honduras gave a message on this subject. While we may know globally where the Lord is calling us, i.e. in our church, foreign field, or at home, we must seek His guidance daily to unique opportunities to serve Him each and every day. These unique opportunities can be surprising and we must be ready to follow.

Jamie and I feel that calling to follow. We know we are to follow Him, but our flesh desires to go our own way. We know that the Lord is faithful and we must remain faithful. We are confident on the Lord's call to us in Honduras, but we struggle with the obstacles to continuing there and some of the challenges that poses to our family of 5. Jamie feels the stresses of this calling specifically at home (other peoples homes) when I am away doing ministry through chiropractic. Please pray for His comfort for our lives.

I am working on our new newsletter and hope to be mailing that out to our supporters in the next 2 weeks. If you would prefer an email copy instead, please let us know.
