Waiting and Celebrating!!!!

Can't believe we are still sitting here in almost the same spot as a few months ago. Waiting ....waiting....waiting.
Wonderful news though....ROBERT GRADUATES NEXT FRIDAY!!! we have come a long way from where we were 3 years ago to right now. It has cost us everything we ever had financially,physically...mentally...and God has taken care of us even when it does not look like it can come together. Financially we should have gone under completely in the last year. Expenses and income just dont add up and still dont. That is not to say that it has been easy.I am far too tired of telling my children no we cant do this and no i am really sorry but you cant do that. I just had to tell GRace that she could not be in the point program at the Christmas recital because we do not have the money to replace her broken point shoes. That part is the hardest by far but we are counting our blessings and trusting that God is using this time to mold our children along with us. We are not homeless,hungry or thirsty or unclothed so God is providing for our needs. I am so very grateful that I have content children that do not ask for much and that is why it is so hard to have to say no because they are so great about being content.
Caleb was able to come home for Thanksgiving while melissa was in Alabama with Lee and his family. We hope Caleb will be able to come home for Christmas.
We are still looking for a church and I have stopped checking the email every 5 minutes and will just sit back and let God place us where He wants us in His time. Just do pray for our financial situation to stabablize while we are waiting. And pray that we will find a church that will communicate in an open dialouge so that progress can be made. Thanks to all that pray for us it really is changing thing...mainly us.
