God's Faithfulness in 2008

Looking back at 2008 brings tears to my eyes! God was so faithful to us, even when we doubted and tried fixing things on our own. He provided an amazing job for Jess, where she can be home with Emma more. He opened doors for the band to sign a managment contract. He provided for our monetary needs towards the end of the year, when Ben's job wasn't going well. He even provided the same job twice for Ben, which he's doing now (second shift). We can not help but be AMAZED at how God has worked in our lives. Emma is healthy and growing up so fast...we can't believe she's going to be 3 this year and potentially going to school.

We're excited to see what 2009 will bring...
-The Band is recording their full-length album this weekend in MN!
- We may be able to move because of Ben's job
- We'll probably be able to pay off some debt, if we're smart
- Ben's being used at work...his first day he was able to share his faith...so awesome!

Be praying for us! It's definitely not easy working opposite schedules, so we're praying for some vacation time mid to late summer...don't know where, but something would be awesome! =)

God is good! Isn't it amazing how we both felt lost so many times last year and both of our families are in a new stage? God is so faithful and even though it has been a hard lesson, it's great to learn it. I'm really happy for you guys and super excited about the band too!

God bless all three of you!

Oh, and still want to take pics of Emma when I make it down to IL sometime, or if you have a couple hours to spare when you come up next time! Just because. No strings attached.
