Family...

One bonus of having a photographer in the family is getting nice, good quality family photos. Yesterday afternoon, our family - all 6 of us - went up to Rose Hill and Marshal took family photos for us. We hadn't actually gone out to do this for quite some time. As I looked through the photos, I realized that our kids are no longer kids...they are adults.


It is a really special time in life when you are no longer parenting small children or even teenagers, but are now parents of young adults. Well, I guess technically Hope is still a teenager, but not for long! Anyway, watching our kids make decisions, choosing what to do and what not to do, is really exciting.


One such decision has made us particularly proud. In one week, Arryn is leaving for Guatemala. She accepted a year long position to work with Cross Commission Ministry in San Cristobal, about 1/2 hour away from Tactic. This ministry is reaching out to street kids through a youth drop in center and Arryn is excited about the opportunity to serve the Lord in through this ministry.



We know that as she gives her life away she will find real meaning and belonging. We are trusting the Lord to provide for her needs and make a way for her to minister to those in need. Our God is so faithful!





For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

From our home to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year!

Rocky, Karren, Alex, Arryn, Marshal and Hope
