Welcome to a New Year and new adventures


Family, friendships and fellowship that's what it's all about in 2009! This year has started with a test of faith and I know despite what life sends our way, the Lord is with us wherever we go! A matter of fact He is already ahead of me (us), protecting, paving and promising me (us) of His plan. I believe that and pray He reminds me of that often this year!
My mom is having surgery this morning because she was in a bike accident on Jan 30th and broke 2 vertebraes- #1 and #2- at the base of her skull. The helmet was her protection from possible paralysis or even death. God is her protection during this trial and has provided great wisdom to all involved. I praise Him for designing each of us with different passions and professions!
I pray the Lords presence is felt by mom and Tom as they trust in His provision over this surgery as well as her recovery. May He who is able, provide peace that surpasses all understanding and strength to the weary!
On another note, my 6 week old baby goat, Jessie, is still hanging on and we believe he is a fighter and will live! He is taking bottles every 4 hrs. and is getting stronger. If we could control the "runs" then he would gain some weight back but until then we continue to provide nourishment and love!
Blessings in the fire .... we wont get burned, but may feel the heat for awhile!

Praise God for helmets! I'm praying for your mom and know God has her right in His hand, caring for her. I'm praying for you too. This has got to be really hard. God is the God of provision though; we'll just keep reminding ourselves of that! Elyse
