Update/prayer concerns

I just wanted to let everyone know we are back online! It only lasted a couple of days. The company made an error and it's still not resolved as far as I know, but they're leaving us alone now. However, we are having problems with our laptop chargers now. One quick working, and the other seems to be giving us trouble, too. If we lose both chargers, we will have no computer access. Thank you for your prayers! We want to be able to stay connected with everyone, play DVD's for our kids, and load our pictures onto our laptops so we can reload our memory cards. :)

This has been an extremely difficult week for me with Tim gone in Egypt, but God has given me so much grace to handle everything. Josiah has been a HANDFUL. He is in a very difficult stage right now. Those of you who remember his relationship with baby Abigail - you know how much he adored her for the first several months of her life. Lately he has been picking on her - hitting, pushing, name-calling, etc. It hurts me to see him act that way toward her. He's also not getting along with Caleb a lot of the time. He's been having frequent potty accidents and is defiant and often disrespectful to me. Whenever I praise him for doing something good, he wants to do the opposite. I have been praying that the Lord will show me how to love him in his own love language, in a way that he will feel loved and accepted. He desperately needs one-on-one time, which he will get when Daddy returns. Please keep him in your prayers, and pray for wisdom for us as we seek to love, encourage, and discipline him appropriately.

When I have more time, I will post some pictures and give you another update. We love hearing from you and pray you are enjoying this amazing season, not losing sight of the One who created it.
