From the Word

Where Do I Begin?

When you get too busy to blog and you go weeks, months!, without a word, it is increasing difficult to get back into it. So many things have happened, but I must resist the temptation to try and blog about all of them, lest this would be so long no one would read it! I will hit the highlights and vow to be more faithful in writing. We are doing well by God's grace.

Rachel--a Sr. this year (how is that possible?!?!), beautiful, smart, independent, in love, missing Kenya, singing in choir, co-leading a group of 7th grade girls at church, and still won't learn to cook!!
Ryan--doing really well in school--almost reading for pleasure, active in cub scouts--he is a Bear this year, gaining more skills in soccer and playing very well, is our resident expert on the Titanic.
Edgar--jet setting between Jamaica and South Fl--finishing a cemetery job in FL and farming in JA. At home he and Ryan are enjoying their new canoe, and is contemplating opening a coffee roasting operation here.
I am staying busy with the coffee Internet business--creating gourmet coffee baskets, co-coaching 17 amazing kindergarten volunteers at church, and praying about the possibility of a Christian Montessori school here.

The weather in north GA is more than amazing, leaves are turning color, air is brisk, and I am loving every minute of it. We would love to get a contract on our Greensboro house, but God is faithful and keeping us dependent on Him.

We were reminded a few weeks ago that if God invites us to do something He will guarantee its success. So I am doing some 'housekeeping' things to be prepared so that if He asks, I will be ready to say 'yes'. The trick is to let Him do the asking.
