The Adamus Family: February 2021

Well, it's been a long time!! I can't believe I haven't updated this blog in three years! A great deal has happened since then, and I think the whirlwind left this blog behind. Now, I am making an effort to give a brief survey of the years past, all of which have been greatly blessed of the Lord as we have sought to follow His leading through Jesus Christ in our family.

2018 was a year of planning. We decided to put our house on the market at the end of January 2019, in order to move closer to the school we had selected for our children: Trinity Christian School (TCS). Timothy was to be entering pre-school that coming fall at Jacksonville Chapel, which was still a drive that seemed too difficult for Rachel to make regularly with her health challenges.

We sold the house and moved out by May, 2019! While waiting to move into the home the Lord provided us, only 5 minutes from TCS and 15 minutes from Jacksonville Chapel, we lived with Michael's parents for three months in Cedar Grove.

Bye Bye Cedar Grove House

Welcome to Our New Home

Timothy Starts Pre-School, Fall 2019

From fall 2019 to spring 2020, Rachel was full-speed engaged in Jacksonville Chapel programs: Mothers of Preschoolers and a morning women's Bible study, seeking to get rooted in the community. Well, we all know what 2020 was after March; everything came to a screeching halt. We learned a new way of life the rest of the year, hardly engaged in anything outside the home that wasn't bare necessity, and drew closer to God. Timothy's preschool year was cut short. His last day was sudden and unplanned in April. But it was planned by God, and in that, we rest. We are exceedingly grateful that Timothy was able to begin school at TCS in fall 2020 as a Kindergartner! He wears a mask all day but has not complained and loves learning!

Hannah Joy (now 4), has enjoyed special Mommy time (and Grandma--YiaYia time when she visited) while Timothy is off at school four days per week.

And Michael is still busy, thankful to continue working for Picatinny Arsenal and managing his home and spending time with his family, while serving as a deacon at church. He now works from home remotely, since April 2020.

This past year, we've enjoyed one another and the many precious gifts of God in many ways:
