Showers and Flowers!

Yes,

it has been

dripping with Spring

in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho!

Rain comes down

and flowers come up!

But this is April now! What happened to March? Let me share with you...

March 13-20 found me in the towns of Olds and Three Hills which didn't have such welcoming weather! (It was snowing most of the days) I drove up on Sunday the 13th with co-workers and surprised Steven in Olds! His parents had collaborated with me to do so. I spent the next two days with Steven, helping him at work and also taking his day off to do some marriage counseling with our pastor.

• PRAISE God that He is continuing to mesh Steven and I closer together in our relationship and teach us what it means to be united in Him!

March 20th God SURPRISED ME by answering a heart's desire of mine...to have Steven come and visit me in Idaho! Steven joined me and my co-workers in the drive back to Idaho!

March 24th Steven and I were able to spend a week with my Grandmother in Oregon! She worked on fitting me to my wedding dress pattern and we got some memorable moments together. Celebrating the Life of Christ was sobering and full of joy as well, knowing that God truly is merciful and full of grace toward us!

• PRAISE God for safe and wonderful travel!
• PRAISE God for time with family and time bonding as a couple!

Steven and I are planning on driving up to Three Hills again on April 18th or so. We have more counseling planned, training to do with the horses and job opportunities to investigate!

• PRAY for us as we investigate new jobs for both of us and prepare for building our marriage life together after August!

Thanks for thinking of us!

For His glory, Patti and Steven
