Update

Hello Everyone,

It's about time I do an update! It's been an especially hard 3 weeks for me. It seems like I spend every day in tears over a memory or two. I know that in time God will heal. It's especially hard as Christmas is so near. Last night I was by myself and decided to set up the tree. This has always been Tim's job. As you can imagine, I only got it half out when the tears started. I just sat on the floor and cry and sobbed. Then I phoned Lynnette to talk to and pray for me. It really helped. Then I found Tim's "hippy" santa that I had given him as a joke, the tears again. I know that these tears are okay because God heals through them. It will be a challenging Christmas but we will all be together and we will walk through it together!!

Josiah will be home on Fri. and Joel on Sat. I can hardly wait to see my precious boys. I miss them so much!! Jos will be home for a week and Joel 2 weeks.

Rachelle got engaged to Jason Linde on Fri. Dec. 15!! I am thrilled, so excited for them. He truly loves her, cherishes her and treats he like a princess. The truth is, he spoils her!! She's worth it! The date is set for May 10th. and we can hardly wait. It will be so nice to make wedding plans. I will have 4 boys, all starting with the letter "J". They are all bible names as well, pretty cool hey!

Jeremiah is involved with a band, he is their lead singer. I hear him practicing and he has a good voice, can stay on key and hit the right notes!!

Mom and Dad are doing pretty good. Dad really does have alot of ups and downs. If anyone wants to minister, go visit him or just call him. He is really missing Tim too and a phone call and a visit would really bless him.

I hope that you will all have a great Christmas. Blessings to you all!!

In His Arms, Esther
