Greetings, mid February.
The three elder children and Steve went on a missions trip to West Virginia this weekend. They did some cleaning for a small mission and ministered through music, testimony and preaching at three services. This was a first for Alayna and Clay so we'll see how they did.
Otherwise, things are going pretty good. Alayna has really begun to play the drums quite a bit, some with the church praise team and every week with the teen praise group, Clay Souljers. Micah is really taking off with Bible quizzing, finally getting "into it", memorizing all his verses and loving it. His big accomplishment recently was mastering the multiplication tables. We're all glad about that (especially his teacher).
All four of the kids are in a homeschool choir group with the Oberlin Choristers. It's only a 6 week program, but a great opportunity for them to participate in a large choir and learn some things about singing and such. Their program is March 8th at 3:30 if you want to attend.
We're all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new neice or nephew ...could be any day, maybe any moment. Steven and JJ are expecting their 3rd, due Feb. 12th.
Steve is still dealing with a lot of forearm/upper arm pain and weakness. He's seen 3 different drs/specialists trying to get some relief...all to no avail so far. We'd appreciate your prayers. They've eliminated it being a nerve problem...and it's not carpal tunnel or tendonitis. It's bilateral, muscular.
Ohio is still cold and dealing with snow flurries and some ice. Like the rest of the world, we're awaiting spring!
Love to hear from you...
