Morgan Follows In Mommy's Footsteps

Our Baby Girl loves to sing, just like her Mommy. A few weeks ago, we captured a few songs, as well as a prayer, after eating supper. Thought you might enjoy this:

By the way, watch Justin in the background. I'm not sure what he was eating, but he never lets up; just keeps chomping away. That's my Boy!

Yes, God Still Shows Up!

After nearly eight months without a post, what could possibly move me to start blogging again? How about eight people baptized yesterday! Praise God for His mighty work!

These changed lives are visible proof that the Holy Spirit is working in our youth and children's ministries. Two of those baptized were saved in EFBC's AWANA ministry. The other six were teenagers who prayed to receive Christ at our youth lock-in at the YMCA Friday night.

As much as I hated them when I was a youth minister, this just goes to show that sometimes good things come out of all night lock-ins.

Thank you, church, for supporting our youth and children's ministries. I believe this is only the beginning of some awesome days ahead.

Oh What A Sweet Sound

Thought everyone would enjoy these audio clips of our kids. These were recorded on August 7, the day after we got full custody.

An Update On The Family

Well, it's been over a month and a half since our court date and my last blog entry, so I thought I should give everyone an update.

The kids are wonderful! Everyday we thank God for blessing us with these three beautiful children. We are hopeful that someday in the near future we will be able to adopt Shane, Justin and Morgan. But for now, we are just glad to have full custody and have them living with us all the time. Thank you all again for your prayers.

Speaking of prayers, we've had a huge answer to a prayer request I mentioned in my last post. I asked everyone to pray that God would provide the resources we will need to raise these three children. Well, God heard your prayers and provided a full-time job for Stephanie with the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office. This job is nearly twice the hourly pay she received working at the church, and double the hours. Add to that the wonderful benefits that go along with a job in county government, and you can see why we are rejoicing.

Here's a picture of all three children taken this past summer. Shane is thirteen and in the eigth grade. Justin is four and Morgan is two. Once again, you can see why we are rejoicing. They are beautiful kids!

Please continue to lift us all up in your prayers. God continues to bless us. To Him be glory!
