So much has been up in the air between the litte bro and work, that I don't want this to get in the way either.

Either way, I'm still working to ready myself for marriage, whether this leads to that with Daniel or some other man, I'll at least be ready!

He's an amazing man! He's got such a strong character and I'm smitten! I have to be honest, I didn't think that I'd find someone I enjoyed so much.

Today in church, he signed a song by Casting Crowns. It was such a treat to see him do that. Although, I love it when he sings too! He leaves for a missions trip to Turkey next Saturday. Sar and I went to lunch with him, the group of people who are going and their families today. It was really nice (except for the fact that Sarah is a little nuts right now)!

Anyway, I'm done gushing for now! Please keep praying that God will guide us both in this relationship and that we stay open to His will. And if you think about it, pray for the four people from Grace that are going over to Turkey.

Blessing to you all,

Lexismom - I thought of you when he signed the song. I too want to learn how to sign. There is a deaf little boy in our church that a couple adopted from China. Every time he sees me, he comes and gives me a hug. He's so precious and I want to be able to communicate with him. As for Daniel, he worked with special needs kids quite a bit. He told me at one time they had about 4 deaf kids there and he to learn it pretty quickly.

Marilyn - I'm so glad to see you posting again. What have you been up to? I've missed hearing from you!

Sarah doesn't really know that Daniel is someone special. Although, she does want something to happen. Daniel is on the latest list of men that she thinks I should marry! She came up to me this morning and asked me if he was my boyfriend. I told her that he was a good friend of mine. She scrunched her shoulders up and said "Have you kissed him?" I was floored and then I couldn't stop laughing. It's like a mini picture of what it's going to be like in 5-7 years! Anyway, she knows that we've hung out over the last few weeks and I know that little mind will have it all figured out before I'm ready to tell her.

Daniel will make a great father some day. How does all this dating stuff go again? It's so wierd, but I feel like a teenager. Daniel is ready to let the world see that he's dating me and that makes me feel so special! And, he's respectful of the fact that Sarah can't go out with us or see any affectionate displays Anyway, I'm sitting there going "Do I lean into him when he puts his arm around me in church?" (Sarah leaves for kids church after the singing.) I want to, but is it going to fast? I stink at this. Where is the manual - LOL!

Thank you again for your encouragement and prayers! I want to honour God with this relationship regardless of where it goes. Sarah needs a good example of a healthy dating relationship and I want to be able to tell her of this one, one day! Your prayers will help keep both Daniel and I strong in Him.

Blessings to you all,

Any way, I am still single and not dating. I know some would say, "You have to make some time for yourself" when I say, THERE JUST ISN'T ANY TIME! I say that jokingly but the truth is, life is busier than ever.

I am working now as a Teacher's Ast. in my boys school who by the way are now in second and 5th grade. My younger twins are playing football while my older ones are playing baseball. Getting homework done afterschool with the four of them in time to get them all out to their practices and games is quite an adventure as you can well imagine. They are really doing great though and I am very proud of all of them.
