Okay So once again I have been sick for the past few days. This morning due to me passing some blood when I went to the bathroom (SORRY for TMI), I ended up spending most of my day at the Hospital. After hours of waiting, then having the Doctor do things I never wish to have done again then said things are okay and to just go home. So I am 100% sure it is time to leave and move on to better things. Stress is killing me and things have not gotten better over the past year. I am so ready to move, eat better and play tennis, ride my bike again and other things that keep my living. Anyway I came across this picture today online and after looking at it. It is going to printed and framed on my wall as a reminder of what happens when Stress comes to live with you. It tells just about everything that I have dealt with over the past year and I find it a great picture. 
It takes a Free man to set a man Free!

~Soup~
Okey So today was a short day. Not much done and not much to talk about. I am so ready for our move. But parts of me are a little worried about what is to come. Debbie keeps reminding me we once moved from SC to TN with only $40 in the bank and everything work out fine. Well I can say we have more then just $40 for this move. But still not 100% sure of what all will happen for us. I guess we are really never sure of what is to come in life. But we have to put our trust in the Lord in all things. We are still praying that the Lord will lead Debbie in a good job that will give us what we need to live for each month, as most of you know teaching is not the best when it comes to pay and other places of income is needed. But again God is good.
But anyway Debbie tells us she is going to make soup for dinner to night (Yuk....) Okey you are so not reading this but as you may know the campus is buying all our food now and it is junk food. I think some people would be shock at the kinda crap they are feeding the kids here.So as I HATE soup I tried to find something else to make. Alright lets just say that my "something" was just that "something". So after trashing the most sick food I have ever had besides the "Choc-Mac-Ches"I once made a few years ago. (That's a long story) . I tried Debbie's soup. Well...Ok I liked it. Yeah I liked it a lot so sue me. The kids seemed to like it too. So yeah maybe soup is not that bad. But I am not saying I love soup, just maybe Debbie's.

What's Harder?
So, the question on everyones mind is "whats up?" Over the past few weeks and even last two months God has gave me a vision of something new, change, hope and life to come. I was set in giving God two years for this change but as you may know God timing is never our own. In the past few weeks we have been praying and seeking Gods calling for what is to come in the lives of The Rogers. God said now was the time. So as of this week after much needed prayer we have given our notice at Calvary Home for Children. We will not just be ending our time here but starting a new part in our lives. We will be heading to a town of only about 6,000 people. A town known as "Bird Dog Capital of the World". Nice yet small town of Waynesboro, Georgia. I will be a teaching in Burke County and working on our farm part time when not working at the school. I have always had a passion to teach and have always enjoyed it in the past when I worked with a few schools in South Carolina and as well as in the church setting. Debbie at this point we are unsure of what God's plan is for her. But God is good and will lead her in the right place in time. In a lot ways we feel that God has open many doors for us both over the pass few weeks and we have step through. That was the easy part. Now the hard part. At lunch today we went ahead and told the kids about Debbie and I's move. It was hard to see hearts broken after telling the children. Mostly for me our oldest boy who we have been with from the beginning of our time here at Calvary. Seeing his tears hit the lunch table was as it was knifes hitting me in the heart. It was a time of pain but it too was fulled with joy in that God will Bless the broken. So I leave todays post as it is. What will happen now, who will step in as the new Mom and Dad, what will happen to all the children, I don't know. But I do know God have great plans for Debbie and I.
