We have been astounded by God's provision and grace over the last few weeks. In two weeks, He provided the $800 a month we needed to get approval to move to Tenerife. We are officially at our minimum $ to go (but there is still more support they'd like us to raise.) We have received Nathan's visa, and we are still awaiting mine and the kids. Once they come, we'll purchase tickets, and Lord willing, travel on March 3rd.
We are so excited for what lies ahead, and also sad as we say goodbye to our wonderful church family and biological families. We were blessed to be able to fly to Spokane for a week (last week) to say goodbye to my family. Upon our arrival to Grand Rapids, Nathan's parents came from TN. Nathan is enjoying a week of Biblical Counseling training (NANC) in IN with his dad, while his mom stays here to help me with the kids.
I know, I know, enough words. Elijah turned FOUR today. Eliana turned ONE last month, and Levi turned TWO on Christmas.
Without further ado, here are a few pictures:
