We have been back in the US just over 6 months. I can't believe it has been that long already. There are times I feel like we just got back. Rob continues to work hard at the cookie factory. It is the most physically demanding job he has ever had. It's hard to see him be in physical pain because of how hard he is working every night. This week he will go another 7 days in row just to start off another week on Monday with another 7 days possibly.
I signed Abraham up for school yesterday. I am excited for him to start Kindergarten but as I was reading through the material they gave me I got a sinking feeling in my stomach. I guess it's that feeeling that my little guy is growing up and will be going to school. Then as I read the list of what I can do to help him prepare for Kindergarten I felt stressed. It seems as though the things he needs to know to prepare for Kindergarten are the things I thought he would learn in Kindergarten. Oh my! I'm sure I am worrying and he will be just fine. He is doing good with writing and recognizing the sounds of almost all the letters. He just does not know the names of most of the letters since I was emphazing the sounds and not the names. Again I am sure he will do fine but I want him to do great and have confidence in school.
His basketball season is about up. I'm glad he had this opportunity as it's been good for him to make friends and to interact with other adults. The other day in practice the coaches were sharing the gospel with the kids and they said a prayer that they told the kids if they wanted to day the prayer in their heart they could. After practice Abraham told me he said the prayer in his heart! He was really excited! I asked him if any of the other kids did and he said "I don't know I was not paying attention to them!" So I thought it was neat that he just chose to do that on his own without the pressure of Mom and Dad telling him to or the pressure of seeing other kids do it. Rob and I pray this is the beginning of a life following Jesus for him. He such a special kid.....

With the love of God in your family..this will be a real commitement. He will have to work it out for himself as he becomes a teenager. But his roots will be deep. The water of the word will always be deep in his heart and will root him and ground him to JESUS !!
I love to see the maturity as a mother in your journal.
The most important thing is to see our children walk in the light as he is in the light.
To obtain anything else is just iceing on the cake.
Dad and I rejoice in all God is doing in your beloved christian family.
We pray for Rob! He has been faithful to all God has called him too!
You could not have ever imagined such a treasure entering your life. He is a man of God, and a awesome provider, I Love You Rob!!
Thank you for taking care of Erin and Bram in Christ.
Dad and I love and miss you all !
