ky's been begging for a sister, and...

God decided she could have one.
meet our newest addition. (better pics to come). she's 19!
this is angela. we met her last week and she moved in 2 days later. she loves kids and likes to clean! she was homeschooled and is yet another testimony of a well-adjusted, beautiful, fun-to-be-around homeschool graduate. she fits in perfectly.
here's the story: when the boys were in big bear, they stayed with some friends we'd not seen in a couple years. They mentioned that they had a fabulous babysitter who would be going to college in our city who needed a place to live. hmmm... scott & i were just talking before he left about our empty room and wondering how God might have us use it. we knew of a family who was in need and thought about moving the office downstairs to allow 6 people to move in upstairs. we also knew of another mom with 2 little ones who could use the space. but in the end, our hearts and minds were prepared. the room was ready to be used. and there was a person in need, who we could not have thought of to use it - because we'd never met her.
it is a blessing to see God at work!
