Walking by Faith

By -

Well, as you know if you've been reading my blog, Talon and I have had to make some pretty big decisions lately. We've been trying to put our trust in the Lord and follow His direction and guidance. Well, it reminds me a lot of a few of my FAVORITE Scriptures/churchy thoughts. In 2 Cor. 5:7 it states: " 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) ". This has always been one of my very favorite scriptures because it suggests and symbolizes us taking the Lord's hand and following Him. It also reminds me of a segment from Indiana Jones where he comes to the end of a tunnel and it opens up into a HUGE (not small by any definition) chasm of darkness. Well, he's told to take a "leap of faith", but there is only darkness... nowhere to jump other than the dark abyss... however, as he leaps, he lands on something. He takes some sand and throws it across to find there is a walkway, however small, on which he can cross to the other side. Well, that is where Talon and I are currently... taking the leap, walking into the darkness and hoping that we will be caught or find a light.

As such, we just moved from here:

In with these fine folks:

Yes, they are my parents. The move is temporary while we figure out our housing situation for the next couple of years. Our contract at Aggie Village was up and as much as we LOVE living there (the people there are AMAZING and I hope I can still be part of their social gatherings), we have applied for a managing position at a single student apartment complex and won't find out for probably another month. So, we needed to find a temporary place to stay. Luckily, my parents kinda like us, so they said we could crash at their place for A COUPLE OF MONTHS!!! They are sooo good to us! I feel so blessed that both my parents and Talon's parents would do anything to take care of us.

So... does anyone have a flashlight? I'm getting a little scared. :)

I totally have a flashlight, but I'm not even scared for you. These are great things you tell. :) I love it! Can I trade your uncertainties for mine? Huh? EH??? :)

I was going to say something almost exactly like DeeAura ... And that you two would be perfect managers for student housing ... I didn' think about the last line of what Dee said, but now I am. Hahaha! :)

Don't go down that hole! I've seen the movie and there are SNAKES down there! Better to stay in your cozy room at your mommy and daddy's house:)

It seems like the scariest and hardest decisions are the ones that pay off the most in the long run! And when the scary part is over you realize just how grateful you are for being able to experience the scary to appreciate the calm...
We will be up there this weekend, see you then :)

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
