I am sorry for the delay in posts! Josiah and I got home from our little vacation last Thursday night and we hit the ground running. We had an absolutely wonderful time! Thank you to all who were praying for us. It was relaxing and fun and we were able to talk through some things which was so good. Josiah felt good the whole time we were gone which was such an added blessing. I just love hanging out with my best friend. We missed the kids, but it was sooooo worth it. I highly recommend every married couple to get away every once in a while to reconnect.
I will try to update more soon. It always amazes me the people who come up to me and tell me they follow my blog. Who knew! Thank you for all your encouragement!

Beautiful Things 
I am soo excited to hear & see pics from you all. Checking your blog is the first thing I do when I get to work in the morning and I have been so anxious to hear how your trip went. We love you all soooo much and can’t wait to see you soon. Jess if you are amazed at all the people who read the blog, just imagine how the throne of our heavenly Father is being implored by all our prayers and pleas for healing and that those prayers are not falling on deaf ears. But a loving heavenly father is hearing them all and has a perfect plan all worked out so that He will be glorified through it all. I am so thankful we don’t have to wait in line to approach that throne because we would probably all only get to ask one request apiece since the line would be so long! I am probably rambling but I just want you all to know what a privilege it is to go to our loving heavenly Father on your behalf. So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going forth is as certain as the dawn and He will come to us like the rain. Like the spring rain, watering the earth. Bless you all!
Josiah and Jessica,
We are so looking forward to seeing you on Friday night! Our family has not seen you guys since November and we haven’t even met little Lincoln yet! We love seeing all of his pictures and he is so cute. From his photos it looks like he has those bright blue eyes just like his daddy! Of course, Ava is always so photogenic and we love to see all the cute expressions that she has and she is growing up so quickly and so very active. She is a doll! You are always in our thoughts and prayers and our church prays for you at Wednesday night prayer meetings. We continue to pray for a healing miracle for you Josiah and the Lord knows exactly what you are going through and will provide for your needs. 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father”.
Love to all of you, ~ Aunt Mona
