Depending on God During Life's Changes

We are looking at moving from Camp Potawotami and are looking at some different camps. We have looked at both YMCA and Church camps. So far it looks like it will be one coast or the other. There is no middle ground. One of the camps we are looking at is in Washington State. Natalie has had two friends move there and is now praying that we will move there. I have tried to make her understand that Washington is big and that we more than likely wouldn't be near them, but that doesn't matter. We are still waiting to hear from most of the camps and it is a little nerve wracking. We keep reminding ourselves that God will supply everything that we need, but it is so hard. Our families, I know, are not looking forward to us moving further away than we already are. It will mean a lot of changed for our girls as well. It could mean that they don't get to go to a private school. They will be moving away from their friends, and a very loving church family. I hate this for them, but I really have to trust that God knows better than we do and He will give them what they need in order for them to grow up and the the Women of God they are called to be. One of the hardest things in parenting I think is handing my children over to God and trusting Him to do what is best in this messed up world.

While it has been stressful getting everything packed and trying to explain everything to the girls, they have really enjoyed having time with Randle. They haven't had a lot of that lately. The have had him reading countless books, playing barbies, and lots of snuggle time. The blessing that God gives us in the middle of stressful times is amazing to me. It has also really shown me and Randle, both what amazing friends we have in Kendallville. They have been so great helping us and encouraging us. God is sooooooo Good!!!!

Last night we went out to eat with Richard and then took the girls to First Assembly of God in Fort Wayne to their Harvest Party. The girls had a lot of fun eating with their Uncle Richard and really liked that he was there to watch them play games. It was amazing. We expected a gym with some games and instead found the whole basement filled with games. There was a game in almost every room. The kids won points at the games then took their point cards to a prize room and got to cash in the points. The girls had a great time.
