Orlando and More of Anne's Birthday

We celebrated Anne's 4th Birthday at Spring Park in Green Cove Springs. The park is right on the St. John's River and it was a beautiful 75 degree day. There is a wonderful picnic area and an even better playground. The kids had a ball.

Let's not forget Jarod, Zander, William and Ambury! What a fun day....Thanks to all who joined us is celebrating our Anne's birthday. She is a tremendous blessing in our lives and we are incredibly thankful for her and all that she brings to our family! Happy Birthday Anne Girl!!!!

On a different note, South Orlando Baptist Church voted today about bringing Russ on as their Associate Pastor (Emphasis on Youth). The vote went well and we are definitely wanted. Unfortunately, as all church positions go, there are more steps to be completed. Now the Personnel Committee will meet this week and work Salary numbers. Then they will contact us later in the week with those figures. So, we are still very undecided. Please continue to pray for us as we make this decision. We truly want God's will in this and are earnestly seeking Him. We are willing to go and we are willing to stay. We just need clear direction.

God has definitely been working in my heart and life concerning Orlando and I'm anxious to share it with you. However, it won't be tonight. Now that it is the new year, my business takes off like a rocket! I'm working on about 700 envelopes that have to be completed before the 19th so, I have to go get busy. I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm very thankful for the business. I was concerned because of the economy. I am what I consider to be "fluff" for a wedding. I'm not a cake or a dress so Calligraphy can easily be cut at the last minute if you are watching your budget. So far, that is not the case! The Lord is blessing my business and I am thankful! I will be writing non-stop between now and July even if we move. Thank you Lord!

Until next time.....
