January is already proving to be a busy, exciting month. James started basketball and scored four baskets at his first game. It's 3 on 3 so he had lots of playing time, but still I was so happy for him because he was so nervous that he wouldn't know what to do. We have a D-Now weekend for our youth next weekend, and I pray that it's a great time of growth for them spiritually, unity among the group, and that our group would continue to grow. I pray that we would have longevity and favor here in this place of ministry where God has clearly directed us. We will be heading back to Disney in about 10 days!! We had been saving for it and I had been dropping all of my paychecks from my little part-time position (before moving here) into savings because we wanted to go back so badly after our first trip, and our pastor is going to let us keep the vacation that we had already planned at our former church. I'm so excited and pray, pray, pray that everyone will be healthy. Since September we've had hand food mouth, stomach bugs, respiratory issues and asthma, croup, walking pneumonia (me), and now Joah has an ear infection and Jude is throwing up (just today)! Whew! I am praying that this sickness be behind us, and please pray that for us too! We are also looking forward to James turning six years old when we get back from Disney, although I can't believe we are old enough to have a child that is 6! He is pumped to have a little Star Wars party with some of his sweet friends when we return. :)
Here is our "instagram top 9" from 2015 and praying for an even more incredible 2016!
