I've been so lame on the blog front lately. Sorry to those who read this like the morning paper. lol! : )
This isn't going to be real satisfying except to say THANK YOU! for your prayers. Stand Church and Apostrophe Coffee were unanimously approved by our district. We still need to iron out one last detail...as if there were only one... but then it will be officially official.
We are just rocking on the brink of so many aspects of this. We're not sure which way the wind of God will set us so we're keeping things...still. Funny how prepared I was for that. Oh God, you do know me well. What an honor to say that, huh!
It's so difficult and yet so fun to bounce things around with the Maker of the Universe who sees me and where I fit in all this. So we will be back on the air with more new soon.
Until then, would you pray with us for a few important details:
1. We both need jobs ASAP.
2. We can now begin fundraising and partnering with others for Stand. Believe for a lot of opportunities for us to raise what we need to get this going.
3. 317 Pearl Street as our building.
4. Health for us all as the weather changes brr!
5. How to connect with the students and those of student age in Burlington.
6. Between us, we miss you. We would love new friends!
Much love and many thanks!

Prayer Needs
We are on the agenda to go before the NNED (Northern New England District) presbytery on either September 20 or 21 to have our church plant project approved. We've already been approved as church planters. Now we are bringing Stand Church and Apostrophe Coffee and the proposal that lays out how we'll accomplish both to the powers that be!
This time in St. Albans and at Church of the Rock is such a gift. It's given us the time to be still, to be a family, to invest in an amazing church that's also investing in us, and to shake out all the stuff that's been rattling around our hearts and minds for so long. We're anxious though. We want to be in Burlington. We want to be doing Stand and fundraising for Apostrophe. A lot depends on this presbytery meeting.
Please pray for favor. Pray that we will have a clear vision and wisdom so we can speak to any concerns or challenges they may have. Pray that there will be no delays or glitches that keep this from moving forward. We're completely confident that this is what God called us to do. We're obedient to His timing and we all know that God will use others to help hone the plan. It's also comforting to know that you're there with us. Thank you! Love you!

Top 10 Ways You Know You're A Mom (of twins)
10. You can no longer competently parallel park because both back windows are obstructed by the Eddie Bauer sunshades.
9. You have Teething Tablets, 4 socks, 2 snot rags, Mega Blocks and 1 lipstick in your once pretty purse.
8. You publicly narrate your shopping experience at the grocery store while pushing the freight liner cart that has two steering wheels - those people are laughing at you, not admiring your cute kids!
7. You know the PBS morning line-up by heart and live for the moment Elmo comes on because as soon as it's over it's nap time!
6. You're suddenly ambidextrous in your hands and eyes. I'm pretty sure they WILL stick like that one day!
5. You are entirely too comfortable with poop.
4. You think "dark circles" is your eye color.
3. Forget flowers. Your love you husband more every time he changes a diaper, gives a bath or hoses down the children after a meal - that he cooked.
2. Your favorite word is Mommy...x2
And the number 1 way you know you're a mom is your new definition of clean:
Clean: Very little visible snot
What the heck happens overnight with these kids!? They wake up taller, speaking in sentences, they know new words, they wipe their own noses, read books...where'd they learn that and why doesn't potty training happen this way!
