Life in Vermont

We have been in Vermont just over two months now and things are going pretty good. Steven is doing great at his job and loves it. God is using him in great ways and he is able to share his testimony to those who come in. I am subbing in the area elementary school. This is a change for me since I have had a job since I was 16 years old.

We have been able to do a little traveling and sightseeing while here.  We have made friends at the church we have been going to. We have no doubt that God has placed these friends in our lives for a reason.

Soon we will begin our adoption journey here in Vermont. As I think about the cost of adoption, I get overwhelmed. We both have a passion for adoption and we know God will provide, I am looking into adoption fundraising ideas now. Some ideas I've thought of are t-shirts and having family and friends fill baby bottles with their loose change. If you have anymore ideas, please feel free to share.

This is just a quick update on life in Vermont. We miss our family and friends so much!

Only God Knows

When Steven and I began looking into re-enlisting to become an Air Force Recruiter, we had no idea it would be a nearly year long process. As God opened the door for the job, we were under the impression that we would be in either Shreveport or the DFW area. God had other plans....Burlington, VT to be exact. It is only three to four years but it is still definitely a shock. There are still so many emotions I feel.....excited about the journey, scared about moving somewhere totally different, sad to leave my family and friends, but most of all, I feel peace only from God and faith in Him alone. 

My Mom prayed all along that God would place us where our baby is. We did most of our Foster/Adoption training just before we found out where we would be. We are so excited about adoption and the sweet children that God will bless us with through adoption. 

Right now, Steven is training for his job and it is hard because he is in San Antonio. I miss him but have a great support system here without a doubt. 

Please continue to pray for us as we go on this journey. We will be leaving July 1st to begin the three day drive to Vermont. Pray that I am able to find a teaching job. I have applied for several jobs already. Pray that God will sell our house and we will find a home to live in. Also pray for us as we continue the adoption process when we get there. God wants us to pray specifically, and those are our specifics so far.

All things new

It has been forever since I have been on here because it was blocked by my work email account...strange.

We have had so much going on lately. Steven has gotten a job as an Air Force recruiter. We are just waiting to know when he will go to recruiter and then find out where we will be located. We are so thankful that God has provided a job for Steven. We know he will be able to minister to many young men looking at joining the Air Force. Until that starts, he is coaching track at Hallsville and a full-time substitute.

We have started the foster to adopt program through Buckner here in Longview. We sill desire children of our own and know God will vibe them to us if it is His will. We know He may also have children in foster care that will be our forever children.

This is just a little update on our lives.
