heart aches

Currently my heart just aches as I just found out that our friend Barbara who has undergone tons of treatment for Breast cancer has found more cancer. What this means for her and her young family we don't know. We praise the Lord that she knows the Lord and can find comfort and rest in Him. But as I wonder why the Lord is having this happen again, I am sure she is too. If you read this please pray for her and her family. her and her husband Dave have two young children. may the Lord just comfort them at this time.
"To everything there is a season..."
The Lord is in control and that is all we can truly lean on is that He has a perfect plan, but boy does my heart still ache.

Time with Poppa Ish and Gramma

Over the end of last week and the weekend Jeff's parents came to visit. They were returning from their long trip out to see Mount Rushmore. It was nice to spend a few days with them showing them our future home, going to a craft show, we went to a Birthday party of one of the girls friends, got ice cream and out to breakfast at the semi famous Waffle Shop. All in all it was a nice time. Back to the packing and preparing to move in less then two weeks!!!
