Video of Caleb marching

I now know that Caleb is in Squadron E -Executioners I have put a link to the video of his squad marching.The link is the second item down on the right of this page.He is on the outside 4 rows back.

How would you like to do this for 3 meals a day for the next 4 years?

My understanding is that they have to march to each meal for the next 4 years.They feed 4000 cadets at one time in one building.The first video is a distance shot of the basic cadets starting to march to lunch and the second is a closer shot,..maybe you will spot Caleb.

My Niece Ashley Lapp-Engagement Pictures-Mark Butler

I put a link on the right side of this page entitled "Ashley Mark Engagement Pictures". This is my beautiful niece and her fiancées Mark Butler. We have known Mark since birth. We love his parents to death.You have to check them out they are beautiful. They are getting married in March. It is hard to believe that they were little children together in children's church and then on the puppet team and now they are going to be married.

Saying GoodBye Again

My heart breaks each time I have to say goodbye to Caleb. I am trying to hold it together until we get to the airport but it is proving to be hard. We are taking him to the Airport at around noon. Pray I don't make a scene. It does not seem possible that we have already lived through a year of this but we have 4 more to look forward to. He starts boot camp tomorrow. He has to report to the football stadium at 7am and then he will be in in processing most of the day.Pray for Christian roommates and Christian coaches/mentors that can encourage him in his faith. Here is a couple of videos to give you all an idea of what he has to look forward to LOL

Ashamed

Well not much to report on the job hunt.We are in a position of having to do nothing but wait on the Lord. Robert has done all he can to find a job. We have had no call backs after countless applications. He does have a possible job working out at the campus but we will have to wait as the details are worked out. This is something that has been in the works since the end of January.That having been said ... I am humbled, shocked,stunned, ashamed, full of worship, grateful, helpless, dependent, overwhelmed etc... The shame is from my lack of faith through this whole process and not understanding Gods love for me as the song above states. God has seen fit to bless us again this week from an unexpected place. We received a gift from an anonymous source that God used to provide for us. This was enough to pay our July house payment. I can't tell you with words how that makes me Praise God. I am so thankful to the people who allowed themselves to be used in this way.We did not know how we were going to pay the house payment for July since we thought for sure Robert would be working by now.
The following song attempts to express my heart to God at this time.I am so undeserving of His love but my heart is bursting with thankfulness and AWE.

INDESCRIBABLE!

This song and it's title describes completely in one word the events of this day that lead me to be in awe of our great God and the things that He has worked on our behalf today. No, Robert does not have a job yet, but out of the blue just as we were feeling weak He sent an unexpected blessing. Robert received a phone call this morning informing him that he will have his next semester paid for! This I would love to say was an answer to prayer but we had just this morning started to talk about how in the world we would pay for the semester since he did not think it would have taken this long to find a job.We had not thought of this difficulty in any depth or even started to pray about it since we have been so focused on the job search. Robert was on his way to the store to pick up garbage bags when he received the call.He had just left our computer where we were looking into school loan options.We sighed together as to how we have worked so hard to get out of debt and did not want to have to get bogged down in that manner. We truly want to be debt free so when he is finished with school we can be freed up to go where ever it is God is calling and not have to look for bigger churches that can afford us but be able to live a simplified life without unnecessary bills.We are anxious to be back in full time ministry and I believe with all my heart that God is the one that is stirring that anxiousness in us.
We feel in awe.We sat out on the back porch with the kids tonight talking about Gods provision and how we all ,including the kids will remember this day, and how our God provided for us and how that remembrance will bring us strength in our days of trouble and need.While we were sitting there on the porch we were able to watch a storm develop and Grace was able to capture some beautiful lightning shots. I will post them tomorrow.We have spent a lot of time outside at night as of late to view the space shuttle as it passes all lit up by the sun in the night sky and again we are so in awe of His greatness.We look forward to see how God is going to provide and in the process we learn to wait better.

Please pray for a job

Please pray for us as we seek the Lord and try to be patient as we wait upon the Lord for answers. As you all know we are so amazed and confident about Gods providential hand in our lives as He directed us here to Louisville for Robert to go to school. We have been blessed with an easy financial situation to be able to move and focus on school for the first 2 semesters. Well now we really need a job to come through for Robert. We know that God is very aware of our needs.I feel similar to the feelings that I get during a fast. The more the hunger is on my mind the more I communicate with God as I go about my day.The pain brings increased communication which brings increased closeness.In this situation the more my insides are disturbed by stress and fear the more I communicate with God and the closer I feel His presence. I have to admit at times I wonder if He hears me.It is at those times that I am drawn to His word through music.I so need to dwell on this song above.I am so thankful for these words "You do not faint...You won't grow weary" for at times I do feel faint and do feel weary and I am glad that God does not. Please pray for faith to be given to us and that we will not loose heart.I want to praise Him in this and all the storms of life.
