Friends, Family, & Faith

FRIENDS:
While in Jackson we were able to get together with the Lampkins. Dawn and Will hosted us at their house and treated us to a great meal. Sara Kennedy, Maddox, and Cooper had a great time playing. At one time during the evening, Dawn went to go check on them and Sara Kennedy had Maddox and Cooper having a tea party. Neither one of them complained at all! We are excited to be able to see them more often in 2 short months!

FAMILY:


Of course fun times were had by all during all the many times together with all the kiddos. Olivia tells me that she is going to stay with me all the time when we move back!! Yea! I need a girl around!



Olivia squeezed between Maddox and Rett.... they want to be right with her!

FAITH:
Construction has begun on Stephen's new office space! HALLELUJAH!!! They have already placed the wall studs & electrical boxes. We were able to do a "stud walk-through". This is where we meet with the architects, engineers, contractors, equipment people, interior decorator, etc and go through each room to approve where outlets have been placed, where sheet rock will go, where x-ray equipment will be placed... all the VERY serious stuff. It was awesome to see the space laid out in person and not just on paper- almost surreal. When we got there I was overwhelmed at how many people it takes to complete a build-out! I have been praying so diligently for these people, this office space, and the path that God has laid before us. There have been a few glitches along the way, but He has promised us that He will not hand us a burden to heavy for our load. With only 3 months until opening, I am trusting Him and keeping the FAITH!
