So this is my very first blog ever! And I'm actually really excited to share what the Lord has been doing in our lives of late. These next few blogs are taken from posts that were post on Facebook these last couple of months. I wanted to share them with you here, just to show you how this New Beginning began. So here it goes...........

Question.....What is your
and my main focus in life right now???
Is it having
quality time with our family members? Is it gaining and maintaining good
friendships? Is it striving to buy a home or pay off debt? Is it saving up for
retirement?
Another
question......Although all these things are important for our life, shouldn't
our MAIN FOCUS be developing that Relationship we need with Our Lord for the End Times?
I don't know about You, but the Lord has really
been speaking to mine and David's
hearts that we need to hunker down and put God FIRST Second and Last! He has
been telling us that if we keep filling our lives with things that don't help
us to grow Spiritually and connect us with Him, then our relationship with Him
will not be strong enough to last the really trying times. Therefore we have
pledged to do away with meaningless things like watching t.v. and movies
(really, God or entertainment?), regular recreational activities, and the like.
Instead, God is calling us to better know him
through His scripture; taking the time to put to memory promises that He has
given us and keeping up with the signs of the Lord's soon coming!
Friends, now is the time we need to step it up!
What is the Lord telling You???
"And if it seems evil to you to serve the
LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..... But as for me and
my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15
These have been questions that have been running through our minds within the last couple of years. We felt like the Lord was asking us to do something for Him, but just didn't know what!....

FB Family & Friends!
We are asking for your prayers for today. We have some major decisions to make
and we have put a fleece out to the Lord that ends this evening! I won't share
with you just yet the details because we want to hear from the Lord only at
this time! However, once this evening is over, and the Lord has answered our
prayers and this fleece we will explain where the Lord is taking us in this
next chapter of our life!
Prayer warriors, we
need those intercessory prayers right now! Your thoughts and prayers are
greatly and lovingly appreciated!
Thank you,
The Hooven Family
Krista, I'm really looking forward to following what's going on with you guys. I know you are in the Lord's hands. I admit that I was very concerned for you the day I called you to ask what was going on! But I realized I'd just missed the thing about the teachers quitting at Heritage. Its been an honor to have you as a friend these last many months. Thank you for all you contributed to my life as a "member" of Mom's Group and also for taking care of Jack and Ainsley for me as I set out to begin going back to school. I'll sure miss your little babies! I can only imagine how grown they'll be the next time I see you guys! Thank you for your prayers on mine and Ryan's behalf over this last year, too. And as WE, TOO, head on to an unknown frontier (Nebraska! What? God, You're funny.) we'll be sharing how we see God's hand working our steps out. I'll love you always, my sister in Christ! P.s. The blog looks great! I'm looking forward to reading it! (I've bookmarked it!) Jess
