Well today I started my first two classes at The University of Phoenix. I had to post a bio, which was actually hard to do, but I did realize how much of my time truly is spent with homeschooling, potty training, bottles, cleaning, and just running after kidds :) . I also started my reading assignments, printed out my two syllabuses and calendars. I really am liking this whole going to school online thing, can't beat turning in homework at 11pm, lol.
Mike started school as well and God has been opening up insane doors left and right. Now there is only one door left, a psych class. When God opens that door (whether it be tomorrow or next semester) that will be all the prerequisites that he needs to start nursing school this next fall, which would be huge! A lot of people need their prerequisites for nursing also and these classes are really hard to get into, that's why I know it is God.
I was reading a bio on the makers of the movie "Facing the Giants" (which if you haven't rented it, go immediately to your nearest video rental store and grab it!) and they were talking about how people have written them and said "those miracles in the movie don't happen" as to which one of the brothers replied "all the miracles are real, if you can completely explain something then it's probably not a miracle, but many things happen that should have never been possible!" That's how I'm looking at the journey we are going on right now, simply put it's MIRACULOUS!
Thank-you to all of you have been praying for us, please, please, please, keep it up. We know God is leading us and can't wait to see what He does next! I pray next I'll be able to write that Mike got that last class he needed :)
Have an amazing week everyone and keep your eyes out for the miracles!

lots of stuff going on...
Well it has been an insane month. First off we have found an amazing church that we love. It's called East Valley off of Hazel Avenue near our house. They, so far, have everything that we've been praying about. The pastor has been doing great sermons about the armour of God that have truly hit home.
We've have been trying to figure out where God is leading us and Mike has been feeling a calling to go back to school. We've praying about it for a bit, since some doors needed to close and others needed to open. And God did just that. Not only did He open the doors for Mike to go back to school but also for me to go to school also. So we will both be college students as of August 25th. I will be doing all my schooling online though (a huge door opening right there) while Mike will only have to go on campus 1 day a week for 4 hours (another huge door opened).
With all the talk of schooling out we also prayed about our housing situation. And felt that we should humbly move into Mikes parents house. This actually had a lot of positives but one huge negative our pride, lol. We now will have Brandon 24/7 and he will only be a few blocks from school. Mikes parents will be living primarily in San Francisco as his mom will work full time there and only 2 days a month (if all goes as planned). Plus God has already provided a potential renter for our home. That's been a really hard one for me to let go of. But God has been more than faithful!!!
We also are taking a class through our chiropractors office called Body By God. It has been amazing and so much fun. And a couple of my girlfriends and I are going to one of their "healthy" cooking classes soon :)
I know its been awhile since I've posted anything and there is so much more than these few paragraphs that have been happening, but know that God is working and we are doing our best to follow the direction that He leads. There are still huge mountains but we are following faithfully knowing that those mountains will be moved!!! Thank-you so much to so many of you who have continued to keep us in your prayers, they have been and continue to be answered and we are forever grateful for friends who love us enough that they lift us up when sometimes we just don't have the strength. I pray all of you are truly able to wear and feel the "boots of peace" surrounding you and your families. Have an amazing week and know that we are lifting you up in prayer and love as well.
