Completion: The act or state of being or making something complete; accomplishment.

Monday night David came home from his check ride with a goofy grin on his face. I asked him half asleep if he passed his check ride, knowing that before he even answered that he had.

His completion of his training has been something that has been a prayer request for us; it has been hard to complete with the weather and planes not cooperating. i am almost ecstatic to know that he has completed his training.

The next step will be deployments, but as G-d has been showing me through the last year. We live our lives in seasons and through the times that we don't think that we can get through or even if it will ever end, He gives us exactly what we need to get through the season.

Right now i am celebrating exactly where we are in this season right now!
Congratulations David! I'm so proud of you!

in this season

"For everything there is a season, a right time for every intention under heaven-" Ecclesiastes 3:1



I have to really believe that verse right now, all in all it was a really hard weekend. While it may be a time of rest and a break from work, I have to say that David and I defiantly had a lot of stress from our jobs weighing on us.

Saturday afternoon we found out that our niece, Olivia has cancer on her liver. To say the least it was devastating news to hear. She and her twin sister just turned 2 a couple of weeks ago. (in the photo: David is holding Olivia and i am holding Sophia).


While i have known people with cancer, i can't describe what an emotional pain this is to bear knowing that your family is suffering.

but through my life so far, G-d has shown himself to be awesome even in the direst of circumstances, and when our pain is so great i have the think that in someway i am getting just a glimpse of the pain that he feels for us. it has been so comforting to know that the creator of the universe knows my name, cares who i am, what i do and how i feel.

to sum it up, i am on my knees praying for the comfort of John and Elizabeth as they face this trial in their life, praying that G-d would surround them, dance around them and sing his love over them and their little girls.

In this season, in this time I will praise him, praise him through these trials because he is worthy and holds us in the palm of his hand.

...Jack...

Memorial day weekend we went to Macon for Gina and Tim's wedding as well as to see our family. I was so excited to see my cousin Jack! he has been through a lot of surgeries and it is great to see him doing so well and getting so big! G-d really has a plan and purpose for Jack's life!

good times in the neighborhood

Noticing that my last post was all about work it's pretty obvious that i don't have much time now! Things have been crazy, learning everything at the office, training and getting everything done.

It has been a good change for us though. It is great when i can come home and crash on the couch while David cooks! yum!

So, this past weekend was really great. We finally got the information about the messianic home fellowship here in fort walton. lo and behold it is about 1 mile down the street from us. I don't know how we could get any closer!
Their service is held Saturday night at 6 pm, and all of the people were so open, warm and friendly. David and i left feeling refreshed and so encouraged to be around believers that earnestly seek G-d's truth and revelation.
We are so excited to see where it all goes and how G-d is going to use us here.

I know it is a silly side note but Sunday we spent most of the day deep cleaning the apartment. It fells SO good to wake up and see my floor clean and vacuumed. And i hate to leave in the morning because it is so relaxing to just spend time at home. I really never have appreciated going home as much as i do now.

When we were driving around Saturday, we toured a town house that is for sale. While we probably won't be moving anytime soon it really got us thinking about the dreams that we do have. Lately G-d seems to be solidifying our place here in fort walton as well as our fellowship. Just a month ago I didn't have a job or a fellowship, and so much has changed since then.
I feel truly blessed to be here and so excited to see what else may come. It is really starting to feel as if life has a meaning here.

Yay!!!
