Great News !

Hi, Everyone! We have so much to tell you I hope i can be quick and concise, fit every thing in without dimishing God's GREAT goodness!

Yes through the trials God's faithfulness has shone through in a mighty way.

What do we exspect when God's people pray? Honestly, upuntil recently I really did not know!

Things like this...are you ready?

January 25, alone in my own home God Himself delivered me from years of woundedness, pain and anger. For the first time in my life I felt loved by God, a feeling so foreign I had to ask God what it was!

I am to be baptized on April 5, Palm Sunday, to celebrate this rebirth in Christ my Lord. As radical changes occur in my life, as I get exited as I read my bible, listen to teaching, I am challenged everyday to to live in HIS joy and strength! wow! I am presently involved in two studies, "He Is" by Beth Moore and "Breaking Free" also by Beth Moore The warfare is brutal, my mistakes our colossal, please pray!

Dave as some of you know, (especially those who have read "Safely Home" by Randy Alcorn) is in "seminary" right now. He is whipping through ministry CD'S and DVDS like crazy! His last couple have been Beth Moore "He Is" (Hebrews) and he is part way through Daniel. Dave would like specific prayer for his voice, we believe, along with others that this is possible. It is intensely frustrating for Dave not to be able to speak more clearly. Also his right hand that controls his wheelchair is becoming harder to move, please pray he continues to have mobility in this hand.

Dave is in a beautiful new care facility, Village at Mill Creek. It was only a temporary bed, as it is a private facility. We got confirmation this week that through the work of two very dedicated women, Dave has been granted the privilege to stay!!!! at no extra cost to us. I will try to include photos on next blog

Our two awesome kids continue to amaze us at their ability to function and grow under such adverse circumstances. To say life has been stressful would be a gross understatement...I am so proud of Josh that he continues to work full-time, live on his own and start a new business that has given him hope...Our darling daughter is so brave, her tenacity astounds me. She got her licence recently. Ashlea went on a 12hr "ride along" with our local Paramedics. It was a difficult day in many ways, but she loved it and may be considering it as a career.

Our pray request for our family is that we could find a place to rent where we could all be under one roof. Lately we have come to realize it is just too early for the kids and I to be so fragmented. In truth we need each other. We hope to find a place where Josh can still have some Independence, but be close by when there is a hot meal on the table! our lease here at the condo is until May 30.
