Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Merry Christmas Family and Friends!!!
This year has definatley been one of CHANGE!
As most of you know, in May of this past year, we started talking about the possibility of moving, we prayed and the Lord led us to Alaska, we packed up and moved all 3800 miles to our new home the end of June and arrived early July. You can read about and see pictures of our trip if you go back to June and July here on our blog:).
Caleb is getting so big, he turned 3 in October and is keeping us plenty busy! He loves sunday school, preschool, really anything he can do with other kids, playing catch, singing, painting, Toy Story and Dinasours are his new favorites:). He keeps us laughing and is such a happy, loving boy.
Mark is working at Fred Meyer. He had an opportunity to go on a missions trip into Dillingham, AK early in November, it was an amazing experiance where he saw people healed, delivered, and come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. On his trip the Lord reaffirmed in his heart, once again, that these truly are the people God is calling us to serve, love, and take His gospel to.
Jessie is working part time for an in-home preschool, three days a week for a few hours in the morning. She LOVES the kids (of course) and enjoys watching Caleb play with his little friends. She is also helping out as much as she can with the Children's program at our church! She also does some at home labeling for North Pole Coffee Co. in her spare time. Little plug here, if you havent tried North Pole Coffee, DO IT. It's hands down THE BEST COFFEE. It's worth ordering it.
Our last piece of news is that we recently became a liscenced foster home for the purpose of adopting and are just waiting for a child to come into the system for whom our family would be a perfect fit. We happily await God's timing and will be excited to welcome our new member into our family with WIDE open arms!!!
Thats about it for us this year. Check our blog often for updates and pictures as we begin to walk out God's call on our lives!
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!!
Love,
Mark, Jessie and Caleb Dickinson
