The Verdict

       is in.  At this time immigration has denied our application to physically stay in Grand Cayman.  The business is still open and running just slightly different than we first intended.  God works and moves in mysterious ways, ways that are beyond our comprehension, ways that are better mapped out than our own plans.  We can't see exactly how everything will pan out at this time, but HE has opened a door for us to include Puerto Rico in our dive operation.
  Puerto Rico will be a journey that we experience together.  Jacob and I have never been there, so we are not sure what to expect.  We have heard some wonderful things and some not so wonderful stories.  In any case, Jacob and i are sure God has led us down this path and whatever lies ahead is HIM.
  We tossed around the idea of Jacob going to PR by himself to check it out and then we would follow, but after being separated for half of last year we decided that it just wasn't the way to do this move.
  Before we embark on our journey to Peurto Rico we are going to visit family.  First stop, Killeen, TX to visit Jacob's mom.  He hasn't seen her in over year.  After that we will go back to our home town, Las Vegas, NV to visit my parents and our beloved friends.

Freedom and space is all you need to be YOU.  YOU is whom GOD desires you to be.  Follow your heart. HE will sustain you.

Climbing trees with Shea

The park that they climbed trees is so peaceful. Many great tree to climb. We ate ginnups for the first time at this park. They are a fruit similar to lycee. Its a fun experience to go to a park and eat some of the fruit growing from the trees.

Do We Stay or Do we Go..(part 3)

Ahhhhhh!!!!  What do we do?!  Our indecision of staying or leaving Grand Cayman is giving us these wrenching knots in our stomachs.  I am nearly sick debating the pro's and con's of every option.  Tight finances is making the decision even more difficult.  We don't want to leave this beautiful island where we have been establishing ourselves for the last year, making new friends and plans for our future.  We are on the brink of success.  We have been struggling, fighting, continuing to look to God as we climb this mountain and the top of it is right at our fingertips...shall we turn around?  No! We can't.  It doesn't matter that we are looking at the last few steps to this challenge questioning how it can be done.  If we stop now we would be limiting God.  Basically, saying to Him "This is too big for You to handle and we don't deserve this."  But YHWH, is larger than ALL things.

So...

the decision has been made.  We are submitting our paperwork today.  Within 72 hours we can finally stop holding our breath.  We will either be packing our bags for our next adventure or getting all of our passport's resident stamps.  We placed the challenge in God's hands... "Take this from us because we are not big enough to handle it"  YOUR strength is sufficient in our weakness.  Whatever the outcome, YOUR name will be glorified.

Check back in a few days to see where we are headed. <3
