God is so good!!! I am in Buford, GA right now visiting my best friend, her husband and THEIR BABY! Phoenix Cash is about the best thing ever! Nixie was born almost three months premature and despite some pretty incredible hardships, she has proven to be a feisty fighter, and an indescribably beautiful baby girl. I have spent the last two months glued to their blog (phoenixcash.blogspot.com) and even those distant descriptions of their little family have brought me to tears numerous times in awe of this precious life. So you can imagine how I felt when I saw her in real life. She is perfect. There is no other way to describe her. Her situation may not be exactly perfect, but she is! And God has done a great work in giving her and her parents the strength to perservere and bring glory to Himself. It is an absolute joy for me to get to know her and to spend time with my bestie. If you think of it, please say a prayer for little Nixie. She has come a long way, but is still on oxygen, which makes things a whole lot more complicated for her parents. She also needs to continue gaining weight, and her parents could use prayer for rest (even in small increments) and strength from the Lord to continue to be strong and patient. They are a wonderful testament of faithfulness and trust, pray that they would continue to do that moment by moment.
Quick update on the last few days:
Jefff and my brothers made it to the top of the Grand Teton and home safely by Saturday afternoon. They had a great time and even got up close and personal with a bear.
My brother Alex stayed in town for a couple days after they got back and it was so much fun to spend time with him.
I had my first day of work on Monday. I will be working as an assistant to a boy with Cerebral Palsey at Cherry Hills Christian School. I attended school there from Kindergarten to Eighth grade so it was so fun to go back and see some of the same people who were my teachers. I think God is going to do great things this year with a huge change of pace and very different responsibilities. I feel completely inadequate for the job, but I am trusting that He has me in the right place. I will say that I am missing my Keller friends a lot. God blessed me with amazing coworkers last year, who turned into even better friends.
We are already enjoying seeing some good friends in Colorado and happily realizing that we don't have to fit it all into one conversation because we live close now. The conversations in Colorado can be continuous.
This is the last time I will apologize for not putting pictures on this blog. Most of the time I write from my iPad, which doesn't have all our pics on it. So I will do my best, but I won't promise anything.
And with that I'm off go bed. Goodnight.
