Update on Micaiah, Joshua, Beth and Us...

Micaiah is doing WONDERFULLY!!! It took a couple of days for the clean out process to work. I will spare you the details :)

He is now having a BM everyday and no longer leaking stool through the day!  This is delightful.  His BM's are arriving sometime after he goes to bed and wakes up in the morning.  We'll have to figure that out but for now I'm not worried about it!  I actually started potty training him again yesterday!  I thought why not?  He's doing great!  Today he's in big boy underwear. He's just too cute!!!

Joshua is doing very well in 3rd Grade so far. The kid reads and reads and reads.  We bought him a new Bible that is just awesome.  We brought it home on Saturday, and he is almost through the whole thing. It's called the Action Bible.  It turns the stories of the Bible into a comic strip. Here is a link, but I can't recommend it more strongly!!

Beth adores First Grade and is all things girl!  She is emotional and dramatic-so the opposite of me, which I have to ask God for grace to deal with each and every day! She loves to wear skirts and dresses, however I have to constantly maker her wear shorts underneath because she is always doing cartwheels.

She is kind and compasionate as well.  When I was sick over the weekend, she made me a cup of coffee (she knows how to make my coffee perfectly) brought the coffee up then also put lotion on my legs, while I was sleeping :)  She has a new habit of wanting me to come cuddle with her every night before she goes to sleep. She likes to talk and have me rub her back. It's sweet!
Last night, she asked how I used to sleep with her when she was a baby. I'm an unapologetic co-sleeper so I explained how I used to sleep with her next to me in my arm and her head facing out so she wouldn't suffocate.  When I checked on her before I went to bed, I found her like this with her baby, Bitty. This isn't quite what I did but this is precious!


Now, Paul and I. Yes, still very tired but in complete AWE of the Lord. Last night, we had an open house here so we all left and went to hang out at the church building during the hour and a half. I had made dinner in the crock pot so we grabbed the crock pot and left. We had fun hanging out and eating at the building. Then Paul turned on a movie for the kids in the multi-purpose room. The kids adore the massive screen in there. 

While we were there a family that we know came in.  Paul was in the corner talking with them and then called me over. He asked them to tell me what they had just told him.  To my astonishment, they said, "We have decided to support you at XXX dollars a month for the next four years"  The number made me speechless and jumped us to 70% of our funds being raised!!!!  I didn't know how to respond because I was so shocked. But really, why should I be shocked at God's provision. He's going to do it. It's all just a matter of time! 

Later that night, Paul received and email that jumped us to being at 72% of our funds being raised!  This morning, during my quiet time, I told the Lord that now I'm really freaked out because I see it coming to fruition.  We could really be moving in October. We still need to raise that last 28%, have moving expenses and sell this house.  But He owns the cattle on a thousand hills so He can do that.

Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. This family from yesterday also said that they want to come see our house because they're in a month to month rental right now. If ours doesn't sell, they might be interested in renting it!!!  Renting is not ultimately what we want, but we trust that God will provide ALL!!! 

Have a blessed day, rejoicing in the One who all good and perfect things come from!!!
