Counting down to meet baby Micah!

Today I am 39 weeks pregnant :). It's really hard to believe that we will be adding a new member to our family so soon. Most people say that time flies faster with each pregnancy, but given our circumstances over the past 9 months......this pregnancy has seemed eternal at times! Yet I am very thankful for all the ways the Lord has provided for my needs throughout this pregnancy and how good I feel even now.

Just a quick update on our family happenings.......we are excited to share that the Lord has provided Aaron with a job which he is excited about. He will be starting as a Family Physician with Summit Medical Group in Oak Ridge, TN. He will start at the beginning of January. I am very thankful that he will be around for the first few weeks with a newborn in the house.

We are still looking for a house in the Powell/Karns area. I was really hoping to be moved in to a place before the baby came, but once again, my plans are not the Lord's plans. We are thankful for this home and the Lord continues to teach me that His ways are better than my ways and I need to learn to TRUST HIM in all things.

This past Friday we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my side of the family in Dandridge. It was a real blessing being able to be together and enjoy YUMMY food and fellowship. Lord willing we will celebrate with Aaron's family this week, assuming I'm not in labor :).

I still have many blogs to post about all that we did the last couple months we were in Kenya. I do want to share that we heard from my house helper, Eunice, and unfortunately, her chickens are not producing eggs like they should. She told us that the problem is that she needs to be feeding them more, but doesn't have the money to buy the food for them. Thankfully, we were able to send some money this past week for her to use for buying food for them. Please pray that this ministry project would be successful as a much needed income for her family. Once the chickens start laying eggs, she will have enough money to purchase food for them from the sell of the eggs. Here are some pictures of the chicken coop with the chickens behind her house before we left.
