My New Job

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me to find a part time job while working at the church here in Portsmouth, OH. The Lord has seen fit to answer your prayers in a way that I never expected. This last week I received an invitation to be the newest Adjunct Professor of English Composition at Shawnee State University. I am teaching two classes this semester and am very excited. Thanks again...now pray for me as I begin the semester on MONDAY!

Some Pics of Our New Home

Here's some pictures of our new home.

All Moved In

Well the Dunham family has made it safe and sound to our new home in Lucasville, OH. We are getting un-packed and settled in. We left Louisville so that I could begin work at a church here in Portsmouth. I have already begun and am keeping busy. Krista has been spending time getting Mia adjusted to the new surroundings, no small feat, and un-packing boxes and organizing our house. I am still looking for a part time job to supplement our income (the church couldn't pay me full-time just yet). You can keep us in your prayers for that matter. It was espeically hard to leave Louisville, partiuclarly as we left our beloved friends at Third Avenue Baptist Church, they have become a sweet family to us and I know that we both long to see them again. Praise God for wonderful churches and church families.

An Update from the Dunhams

Well as the holiday quickly approaches I have one thing on my mind...we are moving in two weeks!

The Dunhams are returning to Southern Ohio this winter to live and work in the Portsmouth area. We are extremely excited about this and look forward to doing the work of missions and evangelism in Portsmouth, and serving at our new church Bigelow Church in Portsmouth. The family is doing well. Mia has developed quite the personality over these last two weeks and continues to grow and mature just fine. She is happy and we continue to pray for the Lord's watch over her health. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us.



By the way...if any one who reads this blog is going to be in Scioto County on December 14th in the early evening...why don't you come help us move into our new home?!

Another Funny Pic

Here's another funny pic of punk rock Dave.

The Old Dave

I had this old picture and thought it would be funny to post here. This is what I use to look like. Just call me Punk Rock Dave!

My Girls

Aren't they lovely?

What I am Learning from My Daughter

She's only five days old and already I am learning a great deal from my little girl. My chief lesson so far has been a fresh reminder to trust the Lord, for He is the sovereing one.

I never knew that fatherhood would make me so nervous. I am usually a pretty laid back guy, but during the nights I find myself constantly having to check and double check on my baby girl to see if she is awake, alive, uncomfortable, and breathing. It makes me nervous for her to sleep without us in the room. But these occassions have pointed out to me my lack of faith in the sovereign God. He is good and trustworthy God and, furthermore, He loves His children and wants the best for them. I need to trust Him to take care of Mia and believe that He watches over Her, and that whatever happens to her is for my good. There's nothing like a five day old Theologian!
