Ups and Downs


We've had ups and downs this week. We miss everyone back home, and when hard times come, those feelings are amplified.

The picture is our dogs playing hide and seek? Who knows what they were thinking, but they make me laugh so they can be as unique as they like. Well, that same day Kona was acting like a fool. She was barking up a storm. If you know her or have heard her bark, you know she doesn't stop and it's the west bark ever. We had a complaint about her barking. We also assume she's doing it when we leave too. So I bought her a muzzle yesterday. Hopefully that will work. We haven't had to use it yet. And yesterday she was so good! Hoping for another quiet day from Kona.

There are also good things going on here. We went to a Sound Church small group. Chris played basketball, and I went to a women's bible study. We love getting plugged in! We're looking forward to a great weekend filled with food, football, and maybe even new friends.

I love all of you and have been praying for y'all daily! Thanks for all your encouragement!

I was just reading today about Peter in Matthew 14. God called him (just like he called you two). We watched you respond and just like the disciples said in vs. 32-34 Message, we can see what is going on with you and Chris and say just like they did, "This is it! You are God's Son for sure!" Peter boldly stepped out of the boat...but the waves came....Jesus didn't let him sink. It sounds like you are doing awesome. I love the update. Your dogs made me smile hiding behind your curtain. With love always....
