The Journey Continues

you know it's kind of fun to bum off of other people...maybe we'll just live that way forever. we are staying at our favorite "Ms. Debbie's" house! so far she has made chocolate chip pancakes on demand for the kids (okay, so i ordered one too), she has folded our laundry, washed toby's vomit off of her sleeping bags, watched our kids for over 12 hours, and the list goes on and on. our kids LOVE coming here, so do we! We have been out SO much since we have been here, especially yesterday and by the end of the day the kids have had their fill and they are saying, "we just want to go home!" and i think oh...they are so sad, they miss our house. nope....to ms. debbie's house of course. they feel safe and happy here, that and they get spoiled rotten, but it's more than that! they know ms. debbie loves them no matter what.
we had a bday party for the kids at melissa's house the other day and reconnected with lots of special friends. here are some pics of them. we have been all over the place now and the kids are feeling the stress of it. jesse will not leave my side, annie is in tears often and toby is hiding out doing his own thing. my eye is twitching...so apparently we are all feeling it! but God is so good! he is sustaining us and helping us through it all. i got overwhelmed on saturday, but after praying, our vision is renewed once again and we feel God's arms around us. last night toby woke up screaming in pain from a headache. we prayed over him for 30 minutes and he fell back asleep. i can get a little self-pity when the enemy is attacking me, but when you attack my children...boy...WATCH OUT! do NOT mess with my kids! i am calling in the big guns! i had out my verses and i was calling for Jesus and storming the gates until Toby was delivered!
more pics and happiness to come as we reconnect with old friends, the sad part though is that this is goodbye for a lot longer! we are praying that we love people well and share our heart and vision accurately!
