Summerville Update

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

Many of you have held us in your prayers throughout the last few months as we transitioned to this new phase in our lives. We wanted to give you an update on what has transpired just this week alone (and it's only Wednesday)! His provision has been humbling and faith building. Our hope is that we will remember His goodness and stop doubting his plan for us.

The contract on our house is moving along and we are looking to close around the first of September. We had to replace the roof but the buyer agreed to finance it into their mortgage! We have also seen much financial provision in the areas of tuition and in one time financial gifts from friends and family. These gifts have really been used to help us get through the past three months of double house payments. Saying "thank you" doesn't feel like enough but it's all we have...so we do genuinely thank you.

Demetrius, Jayden and I will all have medical insurance beginning next month. Journey will be automatically added once she is born. We are so thankful for this amazing "gift" of God's provision...many of our basic needs are being met without any further debt! Demetrius also has a neat opportunity to work part time for the NBA's Orlando Magic this season. If he gets the job, he will be working home games in the Merchandise Department. We are excited because not only is it a cool/fun job for him but it will not keep him away from home much.

We are anticipating the birth of our little girl Journey! Although my last ultrasound was canceled because of the tropical storm, we are pretty sure that the doctor will induce me a week or two early since she is apparently growing fast. So, we are looking at about 8 more weeks until her arrival. We have been given lots of hand-me-down clothes for her, which has been so great.

I hope our news is as encouraging to our friends and family as it has been to us. We are never left alone to figure things out when we have a Father who looks after our needs (physical, emotional and spiritual).
