Catching Up!

Hello! Things have been CRAZY BUSY with the Davis's! I, Jacie, have managed to get sick twice in this short month of January! Well. Thank God for steroid shots! I have had two now and I am very thankful for them!

Catching up from our last post...

Clint and I went to Bella Vista, AR the weekend of Jan 6th-10th. Mom and I got to play with our new embroidery machine while Clint and Dad went golfing. We got some much needed relaxing and great visiting! It was wonderful! A few pictures to capture our awesome time:

These pictures were taken shortly before LSU decided to embarrass themselves...but...we will skip that!

Tuesday, January 10th, our Sunday School group started a new Ladies Bible study that is meeting every Wednesday night now! It is awesome! I am thoroughly enjoying it. God has really just placed His hands on this process. My friend Amber and I had this idea to start a "branch off" Small group off of another group back in October 2011 and we have been praying about it ever since. It is amazing to see who God picked out for this group! It is so breath-taking and I am thrilled to see where it is going!

Then the following weekend, January 13th-15th, we babysat Reese (Ashley's little boy) on Friday evening while Ashley and CJ went car shopping. Then CJ and Ashley came into town on Saturday afternoon. CJ and Ashley watched the Saints game and Clint and I went to serve with The Hub, a local ministry associated with the church we are going to, Broadmoor Baptist. We had a really good time. Clint played with the kids and helped serve food and I sorted through donated clothes and helped families find their sizes. It was really fulfilling and we are super excited to get involved with this ministry. Then Sunday, CJ and Ashley came to church with us which was really fun for them to meet our new friends!

Clint started feeling bad that Sunday and winded up getting sick. Then...

Mom and Dad came into town on Thursday, January 19th. We went out to eat with my Nana on Friday evening. I got a scratchy/sore throat Friday afternoon...then Mom and Dad left Saturday morning to go back home. And I have been down hill ever since.

Luckily, I was able to stay home on Tuesday to get some much needed rest! This weekend we are hoping to have no company and not to go anywhere! Sorry everyone! We have LOVED and simply enjoyed every second with our friends and family, but we are hoping to literally do nothing this weekend!

We have lots of fun and exciting events for every weekend for the next 2 months, so we need to get some rest!!!

Last thing before prayer requests. I found this awesome website a while back and I just thought I would share it with everyone. It is called "The Dating Diva's". They have a lot of really cute ideas on dating your spouse. They come up with some really fun ideas. Plus I LOVE the idea of their slogan: Strengthening Marriages, One Date at a Time! How encouraging! http://www.thedatingdivas.com/

Prayer Requests:

1. Continued Prayers for my Brother-In-Law, Dustin, that his brain cancer will stay in remission and that his strength will continue to increase as he overcomes the damage from chemo.

2. PLEASE pray for my RD exam. I will be taking it for the 3rd and final time at the end of Feb. I will let you know the date when I know it. I really need prayers that I can allow myself to believe that God will help me pass this test.

3. Please pray for Clint and I as we try to make a decision with what God wants us to do with our first home; to buy or to build.

4. Please pray for our household's health.

If y'all have any prayers requests, please let Clint and I know. We would love to pray for you and your family.

Love,

The Davis's
