Prayers for the Week

This week has a few milestones in it:
(in order of occurrence)
1. Gideon begins preschool at Carpenter's Kids. (Tuesday)
2. JR and I celebrate 4 years of marriage. (Thursday)
3. JR turns 30! (Friday)

In addition to the milestones, JR has a term paper due on his birthday which is taking up a LOT of his already stretched-to-the-max time. Rehearsals for "Scrooge" kick into full gear. And, thankfully, I have been contracted to work in conjunction with Think Advertising (Mat Faulkner's company) to cover an event opening (Thursday) as a photographer. Friday JR and I are leaving the kids behind with my parents and sneaking away to my uncle Wayne's cabin for a 24 hr. "retreat/anniversary/b-day" get-away.

Actually, my uncle's timing with his offer to let us use the cabin was providential in itself. While he was leaving me a message about offering it, JR and I were talking about how for our anniversary we just wanted to find a place to get away. I even said, "I'm not talking expensive here... I mean, like asking if someone has a cabin on a lake we can spend a night in." (and that's exactly what we are doing. God is awesome even in the small things. :)

So those are the things we are praying about this week in regards to our family.

Thanks for praying for us.
