Passport Problems

Remember in my last update, I said that we were waiting for Jonathan's passport to come in the mail...well, a few days after that, he got a letter saying that he was denied a passport until he provided them with proof that he was indeed born in Texas! There has been some fruad in this area of birth certificates here in Texas, so I guess when they saw he was born in a clinic, that made someone wonder what was up! The problem is that the documents they are asking for are either impossible to get or very expensive to get! So, he contacted our State Rep, who happens to be a friend of his and asked for his help. He was unable to help since its a federal issue but forwarded all the information to our Congressman, who has someone working on it! Its been a discouragment to us in many ways but we are resting in God's timing and HIS plan! In the mean time, Jonathan has been able to work some and that's helping us, also keeping us busy! We are praying this passport situation is resolved soon and smoothly!

Jonathan has spent the last 45 minutes trying to put Korey to bed. He just came down here and told us that he was scared. This is how the conversation went:

Jonathan: Korey why are you up?
Korey: I'm scared.
Jonathan: why are you scared?
Korey: Of the giant!
Jonathan: Where's the giant?
Korey: In my bed.

(All this time he has this too cute smirk on his face!)

Jonathan: where are you gonna sleep?
Korey: In your bed!!!

Copper

We are so happy to be reunited with our dog Copper. While we are very sad our other dog, Cody died while we were away on deputation, God has helped us with our hurt and to explain it to the kids. I don't think Korey remembers him but Kylie does & is always talking about Cody going to heaven with Jesus. But on a happy note, Copper is doing great being back with us! She is tolorating the kids love nicely! =)
(This time he WANTED his picture taken! He said mommy, take my picture with Copper!!)

Louisville, Ky Wesleyan Methodist Church

One of our last services of our deputation tour was at the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Louisville, KY with the Gabriel Clyde family! God's presence was there in the service and I know He was speaking to hearts! We had a wonderful dinner and then stayed for their ground breaking service that evening. It was exciting to be there for that! We'll be praying for you all as you continue to serve God where He's placed you!

my girls

Just had to share this sweet picture of the girls with you all! Korey didn't want to get his picture taken...that's why he's not in it!
