Cookout Time!

Tonight, we are hosting a birthday cookout for Blakester and friends. It looks like it could rain any minute, but I'm trusting that it will hold off. Blake isn't sure how many friends are coming, but he invited 50, so needless to say, I'm hoping atleast some of the partying can be done outside!

Braden did get the award letter, and we have been so blessed. Between scholarships and loans, Braden should have no problem attending JBU in the fall. Now...where's my kleenex?

Letter in the mail...could it be??

We know that financial aid award letters were mailed out on Tuesday or Wednesday. Today, Braden has a letter from JBU. I'm dying to open it. I so wish it said "To the Parents of" on the front of it...but it doesn't. So, I will wait. I'm trusting in the Lord. Jeremiah 29:11 tells me that God knows the plans he has for each of us, and I know that God knows the plans he has for Braden. We truly believe that JBU is a part of those plans, and by believing that, we also believe that God will provide a way for Braden to attend there. So, I'm excited to see what the aid letter holds for us, and I know that no matter what it says, God is in control. I pray that we will continue to see God in every decision that Braden makes, and that we will continue to trust him no matter what!
