New Faces, New Places

We are so glad for what God is doing in our lives. Leaving Indiana (Home) was very hard for me, I think Tasha and the children are accepting the new-ness better than I am. I think in my old age I want to put down roots, but God has a plan, of that much I am sure!! I am waiting to start classes until next semseter (January) I am ecxcited to begin, so I can be finished. I want to be better prepared for what ever ministry God has for us in the near future. We have had a couple invitations already, as well as Hope International Missions always being a possiblility as well. Pray for us, that we will hear God's voice clearly amid all the noise. For someone with a passion for missions, Florida carries a lot of noise. The children say "Hello" to Grandma and pa Quakenbush, Grandma and pa Hood and to Ben, Becca, and Abby. We sure do miss all you guys. We have been comforted by the fact that I have a cousin and his family here, we go down and bug them as often as we dare:) I am working hard on getting our internet up. The IT guys says we can't do it in the house we are in, but I am out to prove him wrong! Tasha want's to get new pictures up. We are trying. More later.

We made it!!!

Well, we are finally here in VERY sunny Florida. We cannot post any pics b/c we do not have internet at our house yet! Hopefully we will be able to get it soon! The trip went really well as far as the children are concerned- it was just really LONG!!!!! We are trying to find our "new normal", I know, normal is just a setting on your dryer! :-) But hopefully we will get some kind of a new routine soon!
Please pray for Wesley, he seems to be wanting to nurse a lot, and is really fussy as he is cutting teeth! Pray for all of us as we adjust to a lot of new things in our life right now! We love and miss all of you greatly and hopefully we will join the blogging world again real soon!

And We're Off..... :-)

Well tomorrow is the BIG moving day! We're getting the truck by 9:00a.m., then loading, we'll be eating a meal with our BEST friends before we go, and then we're off! Please pray that all goes smooth, and that there is very little stress! Also, we got a "new to us van" that I will be driving so please pray that I feel comfortable with it. ( After two-three days of sitting in it I'm sure we'll know each other REAL well!) :-) One of my main concerns is nursing Wesley. We've tried two different formulas and he likes the second kind a LITTLE better than the first, but will only take a few sips! So I guess we will see what happens!

We will be sure to post pics of our trip as soon as we get the Internet hooked up in Florida. I will be anxious to catch up with all of your blogs when we get settled in- until then may God bless. Have a wonderful week!
In Christ,

Please Pray-Part Two!

Thank you for all of your prayers from my earlier post! Things are coming around, however we have another matter of prayer! We have been battling the stomach flu since last Saturday. It has hit pretty much everyone except Wesley. I talked with the Dr. today and if I understood correctly he should be o.k. since he is still nursing! The reason I had to be at the Dr. today anyway was because I noticed that Wesley had a couple of patches of white inside of his mouth this morning. My first thought was thrush. He hollered out a couple of times last night, and I mentioned to Greg that I thought that maybe he might be getting an ear infection... Well then this morning I noticed that he had the white spots. I wanted to get him into the Dr. before our long trip, and also not knowing how long it would take to get into the Dr. down there. When I called the Dr.'s office she said that they didn't have any appts. available today and once I explained my need to get him in right away the Lord allowed her to work us in. Diagnosis: Thrush & an Ear Infection!! Poor little guy! Please pray that God will touch his little body as well as those of us who are recovering from the flu! We appreciate your prayers!
God Bless!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife!!! September the 17th. We will be really busy unpacking and getting settled in (in Florida) on your birthday, and I'm not to sure when we will get our internet back up down there, so I thought I better say Happy Birthday now.


Please be patient with us, we have a malicous virus on our computer (the one with all our pictures.) We can not even run antivirus programs on it. I am in the middle of saving our data to be transferred to a new computer. Moral of the story, Oh be careful little bloggers what you download!

Busy Week!

We are feeling a lot of emotions right now! It seems as though we have prayed for all of the details of this move to fall together for awhile now, and here we are just days away from departure! Feelings of excitement for what God holds in our near future, nervousness of the unexpected, sadness from goodbyes that we said to my family in Ohio this past weekend (and will soon be saying to family and friends here in Indiana), a lot of emotions.... but one thing that we know for sure that is not based on human emotions is that we are in the center of God's will and as long as we rest in that exact spot, we will be comforted and continue to see things orchestrated by God's almighty, never failing hand! Please continue to pray for us as this will be a busy week! Thank you for all of your prayers already, they mean more than words can express! May you have a blessed week in Christ!
God Bless!
