We have embarked on a new journey this last year with an amazing blessing of "Arthur Lincoln" and we have begun a new life in Kansas City, Missouri. We spent several months just getting settled into living with my parents while we wait for our house to sell in Georgia. As we were getting all settled into we also found a wonderful church called New City Church that is truly at the ground level. We actually are launching our first service 8 January 2012. We feel truly blessed by all that God is doing in and through our lives. Really us just being here in Kansas City is a testimony to God's faithfulness. Back in April2011 AL actually was laid off from his job and we were expecting LiL man in May so AL started looking in the Kansas City area for jobs as we knew we really wanted to start our family being closer to family on both sides. AL found a great company online to apply to but there was no career page listed so emailed the only contact available and they emailed back a day or so later saying they didn't have any openings but they were really impressed with his resume so they forwarded it on to another company. We heard from the other company a week later saying they didn't have any jobs either but really liked what they saw and forwarded his resume on to a friend at another company. A few weeks later we heard from Motion Industries and after a few phone interviews and AL flying out to KC for an interview they hired him. Typically this company hires through other agencies which is just another testimony to what God is doing. So with a week before Arthur was to arrive AL had a job and we began packing. Well, really AL began packing as I was just packing on weight. We knew God's hand has been on our lives and marriage from the beginning but I am just floored at the way he ushered us into this next chapter of life.
Arthur Lincoln arrived 12 May 2011 at 4:43a.m. with a fast healthy delivery and on 1 June 2011we began our travels to Kansas City for this new chapter in our lives that God is writing. I pray that I was truly able to embrace every "awe" moment with AL and Arthur as things were changing so fast.
I never want to forget God's faithfulness in our lives and to never question HIS timing. I guess that would be a great "resolve" for the new year 2012. Arthur is such a mind blowing package of God's love, peace, and joy all in one bundle. Every day I learn something new about him but also about myself and my marriage. God's unconditional love couldn't be more evident than through the eyes of a baby. I feel so blessed and honored to be his mom! I love this new chapter and everything that it comes with: love, laughter, tears, challenges, laughter, changes and growing. Thank you God for giving my AL to walk this journey of life with...
