Praise the Lord for his provision and protection tonight as He delivered us from two snakes when our car broke down and we had to walk home a couple miles in the dark. As an added bonus, we got to see just about every constellation in a beautiful night sky, and a parade of satellites passing through.

It was a great time of growth as a family as we learned to trust the Lord and watch out for each other. I especially appreciated one son repeatedly express thankfulness for his brother (something with which he struggles) after that brother saved him from the first rattlesnake.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

God blesses specific prayer. He just gave us everything that we asked Him for in a new house, and a price we can afford to pay for rent. Now I'm a little terrified; was He just answering our prayer, or did He give it to us because He has a great sense of humor, and now we have 'what we always wanted..."? Time will tell. But for now, we are moving onto a farm right in the middle of the people that God has called us to, and we are excited for the new adventure that awaits!

Thank you for praying, Friends, and please don't stop.
