It was the end of a long journey for the Ozburn family yesterday. For two full years now, we have been praying and searching for a new home for our family. There were plenty of difficult days, confusing twists, and trying times. All along though, the Lord was preparing us for this home, and we are so convicted of our own impatience and so grateful for his gracious provisions.
I am also so thankful for the lives of our two little ones, Carter and Anna Brooks. Two days ago, I called home in the middle of the morning to catch up with Natalie, and Carter wanted to speak with me (which is something quite rare).
"Hey buddy, how are you doing?"
"Great!... you coming home, Daddy?"
(this is when my heart breaks)
We also have been deep in prayer for our friends, Conor and Boothe Farley, whose little girl Copeland was born last Tuesday with Trisomy-18. Praise the Lord for her time here, for as brief as it is sure to be, her life has sparked the brilliance of the Lord and the wonder of His Holy Spirit among hundreds of people. Through the tears, I am constantly visiting their site (http://conorbootheandgirls.blogspot.com/) and praying for their family.
What a miracle her life will always be, and how thankful I ought to be for all that the Lord has done for me.
For Carter's class at school where they are learning about Creation and God's family, we sent a little family photo with him. We have so few of these that we truly treasure them.
