Easter!!! and more trials.

Hi everyone. I want to start with how grateful I am for this time of year. Every year it seems more and more special to me. I love to celebrate the amazing sacrifice that God gave through Jesus. I just love all the life that is represented with the beginning of spring.

SO... we have been going through a lot lately and I just wanted to update because it has been so long. We had to say no to a baby last weekend because the birth mother wanted us to pay for the c-section and we just don't have that money. It was very hard for me and i cried a lot, but i am so thankful that Matt was able to look past my emotions and see that we could not take on this baby right now.

Last Friday my sister turned the keys to our coffee shop and had to walk away. It was a shock to the both of us, but we know that God is in control and will take care of us. We are looking into options and we are just moving forward with all that we can. We would love prayer in our situation and that this will not be something that comes between us all as a family.

We have definitely felt the attacks of the enemy and that reassures us that we are doing something right. we are on the right path and we have been trying to make some life changes in our little family. so, i know that the enemy doesn't want these changes. so down the road we go and moving forward by the grace of God. i cling again to my favorite psalm and "I will Bless the Lord at all times!" love you all!! the Idaho Taplins
