Lifting Up Others

Good Morning Family,

So, I am still trying to adjust to the night life. Sam writing here. I started working at Providence about 6 weeks ago. I love my job. I know that in a postion such as this, things and feelings, people can get a little bit jaded...but I am trying to stay strong. I think naturally I just want to believe the intent of people. I do see those that abuse, but you wander what is there reason, do they just need more love?

I need prayer for a friend. Her name is Jesse and she is 16. Beautiful and full of life, LOVES THE LORD TREMENDOUSLY!!! Please keep her health and safety in your prayers. She is a friend of ours that I have not seen for years, but need to call on the Lords people to pray.

Things are going good in our lives right now. A lot to do together which is wonderful. I struggle at times not to lose my cool over the stupid small stuff. In many ways I am a perfectionist around the house. I hate the mess and the clutter, so I get kind of grumpy when it is not clean. I wish Lyn and the kids and I had a place to call home. We are contemplating a possible move come January, simply for the reason to be closer to the kids school. We want them to have the opportunity to sleep in, rest and relax before and after school. It is just so much easier living in the district that you sleep in.

I will post pictures soon...until then.

Needing Prayer!

Lots of changes have been happening in the family! The kids are ready to head back to school. Caleb will be in the first grade, Mrs. Miracle. He is ready and willing to go back to school. We are excited for the school year to start! Brienna is going into her first year of middle school. Hanby Huskies, here she comes. She is still timid and shy but every day coming out of her shell, for those who know her best. She will be in the sixth grade and I know her older sister at the top of the class will do her best to take care of her. Right Alex? Speaking of which, Alex is going to be in the eigth grade, woo hoo! Drivers license here she comes, oh my goodness! Are we there almost....yes we are. She will be at the top of the class and no doubt her grades will follow just like last year. We have two very beautiful girls who love the Lord going to school at Hanby, may He use them plenty!

Sam has been going through a series of headaches, please pray for her. We started with a trip to the ER down in Az. We thought for sure that they would cease but they are yet to be tolerated with anything less than a full dose of ibuprofen and Tylenol every six hours.

On the same Arizona note, Dad was able to help us get down to Arizona on short notice. Grandma Husar has been through her share of trials and physical pain the last few weeks, and not to mention throughout life. She has had several stints put in her heart, fluid around the lungs, scopes and so forth. We are praying for the peace among the family. Grandpa Husar is doing great taking care of the family but of course everything takes it's toll. Along with the heat and the constant battle it is safe to say that we are all tired.

Right now, the theme is Faith!

We're Back
