Have you ever had a moment in your life where you see the puzzle pieces start to come together? Where you get a little sneak peak at what God is up to? One of the verses He gave me for this year:

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:19

On Tuesday, November 5th, my husband was elected to serve as the NC House Representative for our district, a moment filled with joy and gratitude. As the results were announced, I recalled all of the doors God has opened for him this past year. All of the people God placed in his life to help him. None of this would have been possible without God’s favor and direction. The timing of this assignment aligning with the movement to “Make America Healthy Again” and all the information that is surfacing with that movement… isn’t a coincidence. I’m believing that God is going to do something with our story. It’s incredible to think about how our family’s journey has the potential to impact lives far beyond our own.

It’s not lost on me the weight of this calling. Please pray for our family as we prepare for this new season. There will be many sacrifices ahead, some of which I may not fully comprehend just yet. However, we said “yes” in obedience and I know God will be faithful!

Note of Encouragement: If you are also in a season of waiting, look for God’s hand in your situation. Ask Him to show you what He is doing. Keep praying and keep believing that God is up to something good! He is!

Check out Rita Springer’s song “He Will”. I have played that song on repeat! I hope it encourages you!

Quick Update on Jackson and Stafford:

We are still on the diet that I mentioned in my previous post. While we haven’t seen the progress with speech that we had hoped for, we have seen improvements! They are now able to tend to tasks long enough to show us things they have learned and their receptive language has improved so much. Healing the gut is so important! (I honestly wish I had done this diet a long time ago.)

Please keep praying for speech! When they realize their limitations, they feel frustrated about not being able to communicate. Most of the time, they’re happy and content, but it breaks my heart when they look at me with frustration because they can’t express with words why they’re upset.

Thank you all for your prayers and support! It means so much to our family!
