| 1st morning in Kentucky! |
 |
| Hayley has been so much fun to have here! She loves walking around our new house! |
We got internet today! So thankful! I am also so thankful to
NOT have had internet for a while. Thankful because I knew as soon as I got the
internet back that I would want to write down all that God has done and is
continuing to do in our lives. I don’t want to forget ANY of it! Yet, how can I
write down ALL that He has done? He is so GOOD. He is SO faithful!
Family and Friends, thank you for loving us so well. Thank
you for praying for us. Thank you for calling us, thinking of us, sending
cards, texting us.
We are in Kentucky! It is COLD! It is BIG! It is DIFFERENT!
It is not Cullowhee! My mom and dad are not here but I feel their prayers and
experience the peace of having their blessing on us being here. My mother and
father in law are not here but their prayers are ministering to us. Our Webster
brothers and sisters are not physically here! But GOD IS HERE!!!!! I’ve been
teaching Ivy for a long time that our God is BIG and that He is everywhere. He
is BIG and He is Everywhere!
I saw him when I walked into our new house and opened our
cabinet doors. A sweet sister in Christ that I had never met had unpacked my
dishes and put them away. I
saw Him when I was handed cookies and coffee that a brother in Christ that I
had never met before dropped
by.
I saw God when Matt and Alicia came and stayed with us for two days and cleaned
and unpacked with us.
I saw God when a friend of Rick and Patti Harper’s who lives here in Louisville,
had us over for dinner.
I saw God when a man from a church we visited
invited Brent to go squirrel hunting.
I saw God when my brothers and
sisters from Home text me and called at just the right time.
I saw God and EXPERIENCED the
power of His Holy Spirit when Ivy had a meltdown at 2:45 PM on our second day
here. I sat with her and prayed with her and received a text message from Deb
Shotlz that said, “Hey Ivy. Jesus told me to pray for you today at 2:45 PM. So
I did!”
I saw God working in Ivy’s heart when He helped her be
excited about going to her new school. (Classical Conversations)
I saw God working in Ivy’s heart when He gave her excitement
over her new house and meeting new friends.
I saw God when I went to an exercise class at 7:15 AM yesterday
AM at the seminary. The class was
hard but fun and at the end the lady prayed over every person in the class out
loud. After the class, I talked with her and found that she and her husband are
part of a church plant here for the Hispanic community. It was so encouraging
to be around her.
YES He is HERE!
Yes! It has been sad and hard but HE is here so it’s been a
blessing too! It’s hard getting lost and driving up one way streets. It’s hard
because it’s so cold and our house is old. BUT plastic over the windows have
helped A LOT! It’s hard because we just miss our family and friends and it’s
ONLY been a week but It’s good too and I wouldn’t want to miss this for
anything!

| We had to clean our new house from top to bottom! |
 |
| Uncle Matt is so talented! He can clean and set up a school room better than anyone I've ever seen! I'm not joking! |
 |
| So! So! So! Thankful for Matt and Alicia coming to help us! |
