I haven't disappeared - I've been swallowed by life!!!

Wow - when they say things move at the speed of life, they should also tell you to fasten your seatbelts and hang on.  I can't imagine taking this journey without knowing that God is in control. 

Let me give you a couple of quick updates.

My oldest daughter has begun her college experience.  She is at a wonderful Christian College in the North Georgia area (Toccoa Falls College).  I can not even begin to express the comfort a mom feels to know that each day is filled with not only biblically accurate academic instruction but also spiritual guidance and fostering.  What an exciting time for her.  God is so at work and she is so smiling in every picture we see.  That certainly makes the adjustment for mom a little easier - knowing that she is truly experiencing God and being protected by His grace and wisdom. 

My mom has undergone her hip surgery and begun the PT rehab portion of the first operation; however, she has been plaqued by virus and illness which is making her process much slower than she had intended and certainly desired.  We continue to be thankful for God's grace and sufficiency as He cares for her and covet your prayers for smoother rehab journey.

My youngest daughter decided that a crazy softball schedule was not enough.  She too got really sick and was down and out for a couple of weeks.  She is my typical ball of fire and go get um girl; but, there were days where she felt too sick and too tired to even talk.  Certainly this is not the kind of quiet a mom enjoys.

This season in our lives is certainly different than we would have planned or expected; nonetheless, Our Father is strong for us and continues to carry us through the times that are our life right now.  We are so thankful for Him and each of you that He has placed in our lives.

Many of you are waiting on the posts from the conference workshops.  I am soooooooooooo sorry that this is not the timeline that I promised or planned.  I hope to have the administrative part of things back up and running within the next week.

Thank you for your patience and continued encouragement.
