Fused, Teaching, and Spring

It has been over a month since our last post. Mitch saw the doctor this past week and x-rays were taken of his upper spine operated on last month. The good news is that the bone and the vertebrae appear to have fused! He still has a little soreness and a little numbness in the left hand, but again the doctor assured Mitch that both should get better in time. Once again, we thank the Lord for answers to prayer and for His provision during this whole ordeal.

Jane has begun an 8-week maternity leave sub job in a 1st grade classroom in one of the county schools. We are thankful for another opportunity for Jane to become familiar to area principals and are praying for the Lord's will for a teaching job for her in the fall. Since some of the schools in our area begin hiring for fall positions in the spring, we appreciate your prayers about future employment for Jane.

The daffodils are blooming. We are beginning to hear the tree frogs at night and birds chirping in the early mornings. One day this week we experienced weather in the 70s! Jane's parents living in Florida have begun to discuss their plans to visit us this spring. Today Jane and the church music team picked out songs for March and Easter Sunday. Spring is around the corner on the calendar but it seems like it is already here in northwestern Tennessee.

Thank you for your prayers for us and for the ministry here.
