Off the Grid

I have been off the grid, and I seriously apologize to those of you who check the blog regularly. There has been a lot of changes happening in my world.  Some good, a lot not so good.  Change is hard and difficult.  Change is especially hard when it is unwelcomed.  I am not ready to talk about these specific changes, but I will ask for prayer.  I need prayer, Gracie needs prayer, and Matt needs prayer during the changes.  There is a lot coming in our future, and I am not sure where it will end.  I have hopes it will end one way, but only God knows where the future will lead.

In other news, Matt is finally on orders to another post!  Ft. Campbell is on the horizon and he couldn’t be more excited.  He has wanted to be apart of this particular unit for so long and it finally happening for him.  I honestly couldn’t be more proud of him.  He is going to do fantastic with all of the schools and the job like he always does.

Gracie is still crazy, spunky, and honestly a little attitude-y girl.  She constantly keeps me on my toes!  I could go on and on with the things she says.  For instance, we were playing school in her playroom the other day.  She had all of toys sitting around the blanket.  I was laying down while she “read” the book too us. She paused about half way through the book and told me that she couldn’t keep reading her book unless I sat up and sat criss-cross apple sauce.  I laughed so hard.  She just sat there until I listened.  It cracked me up.

She is still doing great in gymnastics and has proven to us that she is quite the soccer star.  She has really blossomed on the field this year.  She usually scores at least 2 goals a game and actively plays the whole time.  I think it really helps that she is on a team with all girls.  Those boys can be so intimidating!

As I close, I do hope that you will send up a few prayers for me.  I rarely ask for prayer, but my entire family needs it right now.  Please pray:

• My cousin David was in an ATV accident last Friday.  He is stable but in a coma.  Please pray that God will lead doctors and give comfort to his wife and their 2 girls.
• Pray for us.  Our family is in a fragile state right now.  Please pray for guidance, comfort, and direction.

Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.  Don’t be surprised if I am updating as often.  Right now I need to focus on my family but I will try my best to drop in and catch up.
