Family Update

Steve graduated, YEAH!!!, from JMU on Saturday. Now things aren't a whole lot different now. He's still stressed and he's still studying. He takes his PA board exam on Jan. 6th. Please be praying for him and us.

He has received a signed contract with an ortho office in Fredericksburg, VA. We have looked at houses and apts, but will not be making any financial commitments up there until after he passes his exam. I know he will, but we don't want to get ourselves into a financial mess if he - shhh - doesn't pass.

Please be praying for us in these specific areas (in no particular area of importance):
- Stephen's board exam on Jan. 6th
- Trip to Canada Jan. 7th
- House in L-burg to sell
- Find housing in Fred.
- Transition back to being a family living under one roof
- Support system to surface in Fred.
- Church in Fred.
- Lily - she's told us numerous times that she does NOT want to move
- Find a school for Lily
- Paperwork for Stephen to start work to be completed quickly (license, DEA #, hospital privileges)
- Smooth transition for Stephen as he starts work in Fred. Feb. 1st

I know this is the path we are to walk, but it doesn't make it any easier as I/we have to leave much that is familiar: awesome church family at LFCN, my parents, MOPS, etc.
