Lots of updates...

Well, where do I start? It's been forever since an update...we're going to get much more regular with this now.
Since my last post, we found out that Kristin is pregnant! Awesome right?! Well, today we found out it's a girl!!!...she'll likely be named Eden Noel. The ultrasound was truly awesome!!!..she was moving around a lot...we got to see her stretching, yawning, hiccupping, trying to find her thumb to suck on it, and then finally finding the thumb and sucking away. She is a little camera shy...tried to run from the camera quite a bit. Here's a couple pics...




She'll kill us for that last pic one day! We're both soooo excited! It's become so real now! Kristin is starting to feel a lot of movement, and now that we've seen distinguishable pictures, reality has set in. I'm trying to figure out how to keep all the boys away!!! She's due May 15...same day as my Seminary graduation...we wanted to wait until I'd graduated to start a family...doesn't God have a sense of humor!!!

On another note, our plans in regard to moving to Newfoundland, Canada have changed. After much prayer, we were never given a sense of peace that God was leading us to move there. We do love the team on the field there, and will partner with them through prayer and support, but for now, our plans do not involve moving there.

As for what our plans are...??? I'll be graduating May 15, and we're not sure where God is leading us after that. We'd love to be closer to our families in GA. God has also been growing in me over the past couple years an overwhelming desire to pastor a church...shepherding His flock. We're constantly praying for His guidance in these decisions, and asking Him to prepare us for the position He already has for us.

How can you partner with us in ministry? Please pray for God's guidance in regard to a position following graduation. We want to be in His will, wherever that means, and we're committed to following Him. Also, pray with us for preparation for our other coming ministry as parents. Kristin and I are committed to raising our child(ren) in a God-honoring way, and are asking that God prepare us to be the Godly parents He so desires.

Check back often for updates, as they will come much more frequently now. Our plan is to update at least once per month...possibly more as we're increasingly excited about Eden Noel's growth and arrival!
