The Beginning

Well I've finally done it. I was told to start a blog over a year ago but I kept putting it off. I've finally decided to take the plunge. For those of you that haven't kept up with my life I am actually in Kansas now and not in Ohio. James has been attending school and is in a Pastoral Ministries Program. We will be graduating May of 2011. I have been working to try to support our family. Life has certainly not been easy but I do feel we are where God wants us. I just have to keep relying on him even when things look impossible. Jessica has decided to spend this summer with us. Its been hard on her to be here and not have any friends here. I am glad she still wanted to come and spend time with mom & dad even though we've turned her world upside down. Courtney has adjusted pretty well. The first 6 months were very difficult and I confess it would cause us to ask God why. The guilt was very strong, we had caused such havoc in our daughters' lives. Now the first year is behind us and with one left to go it seems as if the light is at the end of the tunnel. Where will we go from here? Only God knows. At first I imagined going back home to Ohio but now I don't know. Its not that I don't want to but I think it might be very hard to step back into the flow. Everyone there has been living their life even though we aren't there. Hard to imagine I know. Life does go on. Courtney is back visiting right now and I think was a little disappointed that people didn't recognize her. She has really changed her looks though and is growing up so fast. I will continue to try to give you all a picture of our life.
