Update

Well here we are. To bring you a little bit of an update, the last two days have been extremely confusing.
First, to focus on the good things and blessings that God has given us. I've realized in the last few days that I have a very active baby in my belly. There are many times that I truly think this baby is trying to jump out of my belly. I don't say any of that to complain, but to express how exciting it is to feel this baby moving around. There are many times throughout the day that I'm like what is going on in my belly. Then I think oh yes, that would be a baby. We get to find out in three weeks what this baby is and we can hardly wait.
An update on the church. The church was going to vote yesterday. As some of you know Pastor John was in Lynchburg dropping off his son at Liberty. Because of some confusion regarding the insurance and questions that the church had that the elders couldn't answer, the church decided not to vote. After waiting through all night and then most of the day because of the time difference, Pastor John called to explain what he knew at that point. He will be returning to Idaho tomorrow to meet his new grandson who is almost 11 lbs (this fact scares me :-)) as well as sometime this week meet with the elders to hopefully answer any questions they have. Our hope and prayer is that ultimately God's will is accomplished in this situation even if it's not to go to Idaho which is a hard thing to think about. We want what God wants for us and for the church. Hopefully the church will be able to vote on Sunday, but at this point we don't know much until Pastor John gets back and meets with the elders.
Even though this is a very hard time, we know that God has a plan for us and waiting for an answer is somehow part of this plan. We know that we might not ever know how this works into God's plan specifically, but God is teaching us as He has so many times over the past two years, that it's not our timing, it's His timing.
So to sum this huge blog up, please pray with us that we are patient while waiting and that no matter what, we don't get frustrated with God and His perfect plan. He has always proved Himself faithful as we know he will now, but waiting is so hard.
We will keep you updated as we know more information.
