A New Job for Scott


We are praising the Lord for the Job that he has provided for Scott. He will be working at Avalon at Danada Farms, as a Maintenance Technician. After a 2 hour interview process on June 26, he was hired on the spot.

Vacation
We spent the next week Vacationing with Scott's family in Houghton Lake Michigan. We had a great time together and with our family. We kayaked the Cut, AuSable, and Muskegon Rivers. We had the biggest adventure on the cut river! The river is an ill maintained wilderness but we saw lots of wildlife and beauty in creation! The picture is of a dead tree on the cut river that fell on the Kayak while Scott was moving another dead tree out of our path in the river.

An amazing sound
This week we heard Baby's heart beat. It sounded so great! I wanted to listen all day. What a miracle! I think I have felt some movement too in the last couple days. God has been so good to us to bless us in this way! Little one is growing and we are so thankful! After seeing the Nurse Midwife, baby's due date has been adjusted to December 12.

Prayer Requests:
  • That we would shine the love and grace of God to our neighbors and Scott's coworkers
  • That we would be bold and sensitive to the Spirit's leading in our Witness
Praises:
  • For God's provision for us by supplying a job for Scott
  • The miracle of our Baby's heart beat!

In Our New Home!

We are praising God for his provision of a home for us. Lornel and I had been praying that we would be able to find an apartment by June 1. We came back from Michigan on May 29. On May 30th we signed our lease. We are now thankful residents of Warrenville, IL.

We had a great visit with my family and our friends in Michigan. The picture in this blog entry is of my nephew and nieces at Betsy Butterfield Park. One side of the teeter totter looks a lot heavier than the other! I think one of my legs ways nearly as much as my two nieces.

Prayer Requests:
  • For Scott as he continues to look for a job
  • For Lornel and baby's health
  • For continued growth as we follow Christ
Praises:
  • For God's direction in and provision of a new apartment
  • For time to settle into our new home
