What a Week!

Dear friends, thank you for your prayers! My family is headed home with the newest addition. She is absolutely adorable! After this whirlwind week, this still just doesn't seem real. God has been overwhelmingly awesome (in the real meaning of the word). While His ways aren't always my ways, I have seen Him work everything together for my good. Everything necessary for us to do in Wichita was completed in about twenty-seven hours and we were able to take the opportunity to visit some very special, dear, sweet, amazing friends. After relishing their refreshing company and delightful hospitality for twenty-four hours we are safely headed on our way home. Everything will probably start sinking in when we reach home! The eight hundred photos will be sorted through and the best will make it to Facebook. If you aren't on there and want a peek, let me know and I'll send you a link to the pictures. Please continue to pray for baby, our safe travels, health and also for the adjustment period. Thankfully, Janae adores her new "baby doll" - perhaps a little too much, as she always wants to be kissing baby! ;-) Like I said, pictures soon!

May Yahweh Richly Bless,
Jessica

The Road Goes Ever On

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.

Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

-- J R R Tolkien

The first exciting happening on our trip to Kansas, was a stop for dinner in Crossville, TN. A pen pal of mine lives not very far away, and we were able to meet there for dinner. I am always nervous about meeting people in person that I've only known online. Being inclined toward being an introvert myself, I find it quite strained and awkward to try and hold a conversation with someone of few words. In my experience, introverts are more drawn electronic means of communication. Anyway, my family enjoyed some wonderful fellowship with them. I'm so thankful Yahweh worked everything out so we could meet. He is good!

Shalom,

Travel Diaries: Kansas!

To get the updates that I neglect, you can hop on over to http://mauneyfamily.blogspot.com/

We headed out this afternoon on our eighteen hour road trip. Praise God, the ICPC (interstate clearances) is approved! This means we won't be stranded in Kansas, waiting for clearance to head home. Please continue to pray for safety as we travel, healing for the sick ones among us, for good travel time and for the baby.

Stayed tuned for more updates from the road! :-)

Soli Deo Gloria,
Jessica
