We've been here for a little over a month now, and we are starting to make friends and feel settled. The house that we are renting is working out perfectly. It's small, but it's cute. It's ALOT easier and quicker to clean :).
The kids have have made some sweet friends, and they are already keeping us busy with practices and ballgames. MaryBeth is playing soccer for the YMCA, Benton is playing baseball for the local youth league, and Brandon is taking taekwondo through the church, Soldiers for Christ. They also are doing AWANAS at the church on Sunday night. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY :)!
We have pretty much decided we will plant ourselves at First Baptist Saginaw. There are things about it that we wish were different...the music is not as contemporary as we'd like it to be, but the kids are extremely happy there. We also found a great Sunday School class and Sunday night Bible study for Chris and me. We miss NOBC...we always will :)!
School for Chris is going really well. He loves his Old Testemant class, and he has done great on his assignments. Today he has been totally wrapped up in SEC football...he is SO thankful that ESPN signed that contract with the SEC. Otherwise, we might not see many SEC games. Texas is the Big 9...or is it Big 10...or maybe Big 12...who knows...who cares :)! Chris loves what he's learning. It has been a blessing in his life!
School for me and the kids...good too! My students are well-behaved, and my co-workers are friendly. The school is big...over 2000 students. It's very different from Oxford, but it's good. The kids' teachers are great. I feel very "covered" by the hand of the Lord...so many provisions that are so easy to see!
We covet your prayers as we continue on this journey. We still need the house to sell. We know God is in control. He has been so faithful our whole lives through, so it's easier for us to rest in His timing. We'll keep you posted, and when it sells...we'll all shout with JOY!!! Please e-mail us, and let us know how we can pray for you as well!
We love you all!
p.s I'm going to try to update this page on a regular basis. I'll post pictures too.
