So I have decided that we need a blog. It will be a journal of our lives. We have had an exciting year of ...hmm I guess the best word to describe it would be unknowns. Lots and lots of them. After many prayers we decided to start a construction business. Kendall LOVES building and doesn't quite feel complete unless he is building. So we built a spec home which we are trying to sell. As we were building a local realtor came to us with a propostion to sell us his ground already zoned for a subdivision. He gave us an incredible deal and we felt like this was where the Lord was directing us. Now we are waiting for the spec home to sell so we can direct the money to the building townhomes. We know that it will work out in God's time we just need to have faith. We know what we are doing is the right thing.
The next unknown has been babies. Are we going to be able to have more? After a miscarriage over a year ago and no luck getting pregnant we have been trying to decide what to do. As I was searching in the scriptures for some answers it came to me in John 14:1
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. " Verse 27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
I have to say this is the first time that I have had one of those clearly defined answers from the scriptures. So despite the unknowns we feel like God is in charge and he knows what is best. It is not unknown to him.
In the meantime Madeline is growing like a weed. She is so close to turning four it scares me. How did she grow up so fast? She wants to do everything like me. If I am going to wear a white shirt, then she is going to wear a white shirt as well. If I am having a bowl of cereal she want the same kind. Her first question to me is "What are you eating? Okay I will have that." She is so full of love for Kendall and I that she reminds us of what is important. She was sent to us for a reason and we love her so.

Hi Katy! Thanks for the invite to your blog! It'll be great to keep in touch this way.
I know the unknown is a little scary sometimes and you wonder where the "light at the end of the tunnel" will show up--but it will come and you will realize how much patience, faith and growth you have developed over that time. Hang in there! loves.
