... this CVE family photo from December 2006???
So... is this photo a little more clear???
The one that earned me the title of a "fast"/"forward" woman and the suspicions of a soon-to-be mother-in-law! ;)
All clear yet???
Drum roll, please???
ANNOUNCEMENT!
Joel and I are engaged... and soon to be married in June here in Magdalena!
We both have worked at CVE together for these past few years, and God has done an amazing work to bring us together. We praise His name!
The plan you might ask???
Well... I am delighted to say that God has directed us to stay, work, and live here in Magdalena, continue caring for the four kids that I have had for the last four years: Marcos, Aron, Diego and Candi, and for Joel to continue organizing and leading work teams!
Joel and our kids right after we "broke" the news to them... they were clueless at first, and then slightly shocked that I was holding a man's hand!
But... they soon got over it; look at those smiles!!!
We stopped by the Schicks, and this was one of our first "family photos"... for your viewing pleasure!
Thank you all for your prayers! We are excited to start this new journey together and even more excited to see what God has in store for not only our marriage, but for these four kidlets... He is good!
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
I am so thankful for HIS timing!
And as we celebrate the living, breathing, loving, resurrected Christ today, let me add:
Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!
