Picture Update + Italy

Dusty left for Italy today :0( 

He will be gone for 11 days!!  This is the longest he has ever been away from me & kids.  I feel bad for him b/c Gia especially is going to look so much different to him after about 2 weeks away.  I pray this will be a time where we can lean on God more & grow closer to Him & also learn how much we depend on each other & grow in our love towards one another.

I tend to get really scared being home alone & fearful of his safety when Dusty travels.

Dusty sent me this vs. today

Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

And then a personal favorite of mine

Psalm 34:4

I sought the Lord and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears

Please pray for safety for Dusty & pray for me for patience with the kids & a heart that chooses to Trust instead of Fear.

Now to the good stuff for most of you :0)

My Beautiful Oliver...I think this is probably one of the best pictures I have ever taken :0)
