Week Recap~

Last week, Haley and I loaded up the car and headed 10 hours south to spend some time with Darren. Since school has not started for us, we thought we would squeeze in as much time with him as we could. Tim and Molly joined us a few days later. I love the area, the people at D's job, the school, the beach, the weather and I just love Cali period! He is in a little trailer right now, which is perfect for him, but our family of 5 feels like we are camping! God's provisions are endless and I could write several more posts to sum all that He has done for us regarding this job, the move, etc. I know we have quite a transition ahead of us, living away from Darren for awhile, but we feel that it is important for Molly to finish her senior year in OR. We are looking at an  adventure! ha! It will be exciting to watch God, once again provide in all the ways HE does so well! : ) 

We have been hanging out at the beach, trying new churches, checking out the huge outlet mall AND finding a new dentist to pull Haley's infected tooth! (never a dull moment with the Bart family)

ROAD TRIP! My obnoxious excitement on my way to see D.

My twins! ha!

SISTERS~

When God says do it, 
He’s already 

planned the resources 
we need to accomplish the task.

Wait, Hope, Expect

Red Letter Words

I was talking with a friend the other day and she

 was reminding me that when we want to be

in the presence of God, a sure way to be there

is to have a heart of gratitude...to sit and bask in all the

God has done for us, to go back to the last time/

place where He just blew our socks off..

That last for me (us)..is NOW!

He continues to rock my world and right now

HE has shown great favor to my little family!

Darren left early this morning for our new venture..well,

his new venture for now. He starts his new job in Cali Friday!

He spent the day at the new school, loves it, 5 min. from the beach

AND has a place to live..ANOTHER PRAISE~

LORD, I NEED YOU

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Yes where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
