Elayna , Springbreak, Work, & Ireland



I have to give God the credit. Elayna had her big doctor's appointment yesterday to check her kidneys. She has gone from a stage 4 reflux (5 being the biggest) to a stage 2! Thank you Lord! Initially, the doctor believed that she would have to have surgery eventually. Now, he really thinks that the problem will correct itself. We are praising God for it! We serve an awesome and able God!

The kids and I are enjoying the week off for Spring break....checking things off of the "to do" list, spending time in the yard, enjoying a slower pace. 4 1/2 more weeks of school before Summer break!

Meanwhile, David started his new job this week. He is loving it. More relaxed than what he is used to. But I'm sure that it won't take him long to get use to it.

I see from the March's blog that the McFarlands are all headed back to the states. Shawna McFarland is moving to Alexandria, Louisiana to work with Sharon Turner (counselor) at the Pentecostals of Alexandria church. We are so excited for her!

It sounds like great things are happening in Ireland. Oh how we do miss it there in a million ways. But we know that God has us back here for His purpose. We keep Ireland in our hearts and prayers!

Happy Spring break week!

Work, Guitars, and Remodeling

I have a job teaching for the rest of the year, and David starts a new job April 13th! Thank you Lord!

Brother Ford from our church made two AWESOME electric guitars to donate to the work of God in Ireland. I am so sad to say that I don't have pictures of them. They are beautiful. One of them is an Ireland green color. I will try and get some pictures if they have not been mailed yet. Thank you Brother and Sister Ford! I know that the church(es) there needs these and will be blessed by them.

David is remodeling the blog soon. Watch for changes.
