Rejoicing in the power of His resurrection!

"I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You."
- Job 42:2

This verse is a real uplifter for me (Denielle) these days, especially as I look ahead to the birth of our baby. . .only 13 weeks away now. . .and as I survey the details of day to day living. What a joy to know that He has the power to do all things, that His power is within us through the Person of Christ, and that all the plans and purposes He has ordained WILL come to pass perfectly. What peace! :)

Praise the Lord! We went from one refreshing trip to another - from Illinois to South Dakota and Nebraska. We're grateful for God's provision for these trips - once again He's overwhelmed us with His gracious generosity! Thanks for partnering with us as we traveled and fellowshipped with other believers - we are so glad we're able to work together with you!!! :)
Well, Jon's back to work this week, and I'm back to the To Do list - which happens to actually be getting close to the end! Whew :) This weekend we will be attending birth classes - please pray for us to learn what we need to and to be a good testimony to the other couples there. We're still praying that the Lord will guide our steps and open wide the right doors for us to be able to make some new contacts. Thanks for praying with us about this, too!
Love in Christ,
Denielle
