Blessed Beyond Measure!

Well, it has been quite some time since we last posted on our blog but don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you we have just been SUPER busy! Working at Pensacola Christian College has been a great encouragement and also a great challenge. God has been stretching us in many ways. Many exciting things have happened since our last post so here ya go! First of all, we found out in February that we are going have a Baby in November! We are so excited about that. 
This was our Baby at just about 9 weeks along. 
We have been preparing in every way possible :)

Work continued with Sara as the secretary for Employee Services and me as the Residence Manager in Young Tower. As I write this, I am so thankful to God for the many ways He has blessed us and our "little" family. He has provided for us financially, spiritually, physically and every other way imaginable! I have been taking Advanced Old Testament this semester in Seminary and just finished up that class by taking my final today. All glory goes to God! He has carried me through in the midst of a busy semester of work. 

Last weekend we were able to go to Sara's sister's wedding in Ohio. Cassandra was married to Caleb Antonuccci and Sara was the Matron of Honor. It was a fantastic weekend away and a blessing to see all the family on Sara's side. Her brother, Bryan, was able to fly in from his military service in Germany in order to be a part of the wedding! We are thankful for that and it was my first time meeting Sara's older brother in person. The wedding took place at a beautiful country club. Here are a few photos from the rehearsal:

In other news, my little sister, Melody, recently got engaged!!! She is now engaged to Jonathan Randazzo. They met here at PCC and God has continued to work in their relationship to bring them to this point. We are so excited for them!!

As Sara and I continue to follow God's leading for our future, we realize that God's way is always best and that is what we want. We have been praying about where God would have us to go after I graduate in August of 2015 with my Masters Degree in Biblical Exposition. Our desire is to join a church that will be our sending church and work there for at least a year so that we can be established in that church before heading out on deputation to get to the Ivory Coast, West Africa. We realize that God's timing is perfect and we are not trying to rush things. The very moment He wants us in Africa, we will be there and we are excited about that. Please be praying for God's direction in the church He wants us to be sent out of. I am in contact with a couple pastors about this possibility and we are just praying for God's clear direction. Thank you for your prayers and support and for taking the time to read more in our storybook. Until next time!
