Wow it has been a while since a post....

Ok couple things: Our beautiful grand baby is growing and started walking with her baby stroller the day after her 1st birthday ! How exciting, she has been such a joy for Russ and I and our entire family, we can't get enough of her :) She is always smiling and gets so excited to see us, which just warms our hearts. Russ and I had her for a couple of days when Joel and Sarah went to a wedding in Las Vegas, and she was so good for us. I was able to take her down to Costco to show her off. :)
She played in her play pool on the patio. Joels parents came over to see and enjoy her as well as her great -grandparents Papi and Grams. We had a great time and she couldn't been any better. She is on a tight schedule, and she stays on it. 2 naps in the daytime and bed at 7:30pm and sleeps 12 hours. Amazing. As Sarah would say "Lilly; you're Amazing!!" Ok she is our 1st grandbaby and we may sound a little biast, but it's true!
Still waiting on news about our house. 3rd offer, just waiting for banks to make a decision. Looks like we will be renting something for at least a year, until we look into buying something again. (God- willing) . It is All in God's hands, we are trusting IN Him to see us through this journey, He has us on. We know first and foremost we are Blessed beyond circumstances. Russell is working again and in this economy , he was very blessed to find work as soon as he did. Unfortunately money is not the same, but we know God will continue to provide for us.
One more thing; have to recommend a book, a devotional entitled: "Jesus Calling"; (Enjoying Peace in His Presence) by author Sarah Young. It 's a day to day devotional,it is being in the presence of Jesus, and what He wants you to Know, each day, it's wonderful. It's great to read 1st thing in the morning before you start your day.You can keep it with you in your purse, to have with you, when you have a min at work or on a lunch hour, whatever, I like to read it again before I go to bed .It's wonderful !
