It has been a very rough week for Kirstie.  She has been in the hospital with pre-term labor, and has been having very tough contractions.  She is resting, but in a lot of pain and discomfort.  Please lift her up.

Thanks.

 I’m having trouble with waiting. It feels like Im waiting  on so much! Waiting for the perfect house for us and waiting for that day I get to see my baby boy look at me! With my emotions all array it makes it hard at times so please pray for that patience for me!  I know the Lord God will provide everything in his time so I really need not worry, but I am human so sometimes the worry of timing does come lurking around.

Hey everyone, we have a couple of prayer requests for our family right now…

First off, for the last few days, Bela has had a bumpy rash on her body.  At first, it was not bothering her, but it has started to be a bit itchy for her.  We have taken her to 2 different doctors that have suggested we wait and see what happens.  Please pray for healing for the little one.

We have also hit a rough spot in finances right now.  Our car’s engine broke down, and is in the process of being replaced.  We really could not find a suitable replacement vehicle at a decent cost, and unfortunately we now have to pay more than we really can afford to get the car back up and running.  Please pray that God will provide for us in this time of need, and that we have wisdom in evaluating our expenses.

Kirstie is doing amazing at home raising a great daughter, while carrying another precious little one.  Thankfully Kirstie has been much less sick this pregnancy.
We also have the blessing of Kirstie’s parents and sister to help when things are hard.  We must are so thankful for the blessings God reminds of of along with our challenges.
No matter what trials we face, we are allways more blessed than we realize.

10/27/08 UPDATE: Thank you all for your prayers.  The rash that confounded doctors is all better.  Bela is happy, and near itch free!

It’s so weird to think that we have now been back for 2 Months.

Rob has been working for about a month in IT, and I’m at home taking care of Bela. We are praying over the plans of what will be going on in the next year. There are so many opportunities for at the moment so please pray for us during are time of prayer

We are prayerfully considering the next steps, and will keep you up to date as we get a better sense of God’s direction for us.  Please keep prayin!

We just got back from a great time of relaxation and rejuvenation of camping and fishing on the St. Croix River with the Tellmans, and my brother Dan.  It was great to take some time to slow down and enjoy ourselves before returning to the hustle of our lives.

We are getting back into the swing of the US.  I’m looking for work, and Kirstie is continuing her awesome mommy-work, and continuing to go through our stuff weeding out what we can sell/donate in order to prepare for what God has next.  Please pray for us as we look for employment and smooth transition into our lives back here in Minnesota.
