Post Orlando, No Baby Yet!

Grant, when are you coming? We have asked him this many times in the last few days. We are disappointed every time he doesn't answer us. We have tried to continue our lives as much as usual but at the same time, we have to be as ready for him to come when its time. As Amanda likes to say: Eviction Day is coming!

We got back from Orlando last weekend and had a great time. We got to visit with a lot of friends, but since we were only there for a few days, we did not see everyone we wished we could have, but thats how it goes. We had an extremely refreshing time in Orlando. It has really helped us and built our faith in many ways. We were encouraged by many friends, Amanda had a good shower our church OGC put on for us, and we got to hang out with Brett and Nicole Bradley. They are raising support to be in Salerno, also.

This past week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we met on Skype with our team in Salerno for a few hours. We got to develop a bunch of our vision, goals, and focus for this school year coming up. Its so good for us to be in these meetings and get to contribute.

Also this past week at Cru at USF, I got to talk about Storing Up Treasures in Heaven from Matthew 6:19-24. I was not sure how it was going to turn out, but it turned out well as God's word was preached and I got to be his vessel.

Congratulations! Oh my goodness! I can't believe I was reading your blog when Aunt Dell called - 7:04am.

Can't wait to see what Grant looks like. Oh my goodness! I still can't believe this.

Well, eviction day has come, Amanda.

Love and blessings!

We are waiting to hear the exciting news of Grant's arrival! Having a baby gives you deeper insight into God's relationship with His children. As you tenderly care for your precious gift, your love for Christ will increase immensely.
