God is Full of Surprises!!!!

Well, if you haven't experienced this yet yourself, I am here to tell you that God is FULL of surprises!!! Sorry it has been so long since we have updated our blog, but frankly we are just beginning to come out of our state of shock. For most of you, this is old news by now, but for some of you, prepare yourself.....


The Fisher family is expecting!!!!! Yes, I am 37 and yes I had a procedure done last year to prevent any more pregnancies, and yes we are living a "simple" life on limited income, and yes we are preparing ourselves to move to  foreign country...but none of that will stop God in all of His wonderful craziness! I am now 16 weeks, doing better with my nausea and praising God that our little one is doing well! Here is a sneak peak:



So, with this news comes the need to update our prayer requests. God has been so good to us! I will update our prayer page too, but here are our most recent needs:

1) That the baby and I will continue to do well. It is absolutely crazy to be in this stage again, and is much more difficult this time around.
2) Our only vehicle is a 5 seater HHR. We hadn't planned on anymore vehicle purchases before moving overseas, but clearly that has changed now. We're praying that God will make a way for us to get a reliable minivan that will be able to take us through deputation.
3) We are still waiting on God to reveal His clear calling as to WHERE He wants to send us. Please be praying that He is clear with us and that we will have patience while we wait on His timing.

We so appreciate all of you. We know that God could not be so bold and generous with us if it wasn't for the assistance of His people. 

In other news, Ben had a great first semester at Seminary. He is looking forward to beginning the new semester tomorrow. The kids and I have thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break. We were able to travel home to spend two weeks with family and friends in Ohio and Pennsylvania. God even blessed them with the chance to see some snow! We will start back with our homeschooling next week as we "travel" to Kenya with our curriculum! (I can't wait!) It's hard to believe that just one year ago we were returning from our actual trip to Kenya. What an amazing year it has been!

Blessed and Blooming, Anne

Psalm 139:13–15 (ESV)

13  For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14  I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15  My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
