We're officially pregnant! :) We have our first appointment this Tuesday. Kristine is around 8 weeks pregnant right now, maybe a little more. We're keeping this blog mostly for missions related developments and newsletters...but if you want to follow our baby progress go to: http://littlelifeinmine.blogspot.com (Name still up in the air) Kristine will post photos, pictures, info on how she's feeling, and Eric might post some stuff too. :)
We are now working on our updated letter, we might get to have an ultrasound in it, we'll see! We are very excited though!
Blessings,
Eric and Kristine Reed

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Wow, it's been almost a month since the last post...and I bet even longer since we send out a newsletter. We promise to remedy the newsletter situation shortly. :)
Today was my (Kristine) one of my last days at my current job. My last day will be June 16th. It's a LONG story, but I am resigning my position as an educational assistant for NWRESD. It'll be sad because I really did enjoy working with my team this year. I love getting to know different people and hearing about their lives. It will be sad when I leave on the 16th, but I hope to be able to keep in touch with these women hopefully for years to come.
I've learned so much this year about God's provision. At first I wasn't sure how I could be an EA for a year, but I learned so much on this job that I couldn't with textbooks. This knowledge I will carry with me and use in my future classrooms and with my own children. :)
Right now I am applying to different teaching jobs and praying for God's wisdom and provision for the future. I have a definite peace about leaving my current job and look forward to seeing where God is going to lead me.
NEWS FOR ERIC! :)
Eric passed the written portion of his instrument rating test with a score of 92. On June 20th he'll take his check ride and hopefully after that he'll have the instrument rating! Whoohoo!
After he earns this rating the last things on his to-do list for pilot requirements for MAF are: 1) More high performance airplane time and 2)His certified flight instructor rating (This last one isn't a requirement, but is really good to have).
This is a short update, the newsletter will hopefully be the next update!

Small Update
We're going to try to keep this more updated!
An update on Kristine's job interview.. it went well overall. She won't find out more until later but she thought they liked her.
Eric's continuing to work on flight training for his instrument license.
Kristine has been sick lately with a cold. Yes..the sneezing, sniffling, stuffy head and runny nose type. She ended up taking a day off from school(she works at a school) to rest and hopefully get better. She would take normal meds, but since we're trying to get pregnant she's avoiding all meds. This of course makes colds last much longer, but in reality all the meds would do is to mask the symptoms so it's just as well.
That's kinda it on our updates...other than we are working on the house in-between other things. We're painting doors, molding, finishing the floors, and working on the bathroom. Fun stuff! Hopefully in June we'll list it. We know we've been saying that over and over again but with the two of us so busy it's been hard to complete the tasks unless the weather is good on the weekends. So prayers for that would be great!
God Bless,

Prayer :)
Hello Everyone!
The May newsletter is coming out soon, but we'd love you to keep us in prayer about a few decisions.
For Kristine:
On Monday May 11th Kristine has a job interview with Sylvan Learning Center in Beaverton. Please pray that she presents herself in the best way possible both in appearance and clarity of speech during the interview questions.
Kristine also has a few job applications out there for teaching jobs. One being the Oregon Virtual Academy. Please keep her in prayer as those applications reach eyes that are going to decide whether to hire her or not. Just pray for the Lord's will in the decision making process and peace for Kristine no matter what happens.
The last prayer request for Kristine would be just for a peace and patience in these last few months of her job. Sometimes it gets hard to continue to work when you know the program you are in is probably going to change dramatically. There is a lot of negativity at work right now, so prayer that Kristine try to remain positive despite being surrounded by negative people would be awesome.
For Eric:
Eric is still working to complete his flight training. It would be awesome if you could pray that he stay consistent with his flying ability and consistent in training. Prayers for clarity of thought and clarity in ability during training would be great.
We'll have more on this in the next newsletter but Eric is considering changing his future missions pilot focus from Pilot/Mechanic to Pilot/IT (Informational Technology). He is exploring what classes he needs to take to complete the IT route and talking with MAF missions personnel to see which classes would best suit their current needs. So prayer that if this is the route that we are to go that he continue to have a positive response from missions personnel would be great. Again we'll have more about this later, but we thought we'd put a word out there.
For Both of Us:
We are still working on our house to get it ready to sell. We're making progress, but with classes and other things taking priority it's slow going. Prayer for motivation and planning to complete the rest of the repairs would be great!
We want YOUR help!
In June we will be distributing fliers to churches taking about the Northwest Mission Aviation Fly-In July 17-19th. Servant Wings helps to put this on annually and really would love a huge turn out so people can see, hear, know and maybe even become a part of missionary aviation in the future. We'd love your help in this! If you wouldn't mind we'd love to give you a flier to post at your church, at airports, colleges...wherever we can to help get the word out about this event. Soon we hope to have a short video clip even to show to churches about it too. If you think that you can help us out in this please contact us at: ericandkristinereed@gmail.com and we'll set something up. You don't have to live in Oregon or Washington to post a flier. Since this is a fly-in too technically people can fly-in from anywhere.
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers, we really appreciate them!
Love in Christ,
Eric and Kristine Reed

Update and Prayer Request!
Dear Family and Friends,
We wanted to write a quick update about what's going on in our "neck o' the woods". Turns out with the budget cuts in Kristine's school district that she might lose her job at the end of the year. Nothing's been finalized, but she can take the hint from the fact that her coordinator keeps asking her how the job hunt is going that she's LOW on the list. Oh and the fact that right after she was hired there was a hiring freeze... So she's looking for a new job with full-time benefits to start at the end of June or fall. Because of this setback, it's caused us to re-evaluate our plans for the Fall for Eric's schooling. We are looking at all options right now and will fill you in on the details soon. Please pray for wisdom for us in our decision making so that we make the best informed decision possible. Soon we'll have a newsletter out explaining these things in detail, but I thought I would send out a note to you guys! Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers!
we
We also wanted to say that we want to know what's going on in YOUR life lately? We really miss hearing from some of you. We Bcc'd the list, but if you could see it you'd notice it's quite long. we'd love to send a personal e-mail to you all, but with time right now it's not feasible. HOWEVER, if you send us an e-mail we'll make every effort possible to get back to you ASAP. :) we miss you all! Hope you are doing alright. God Bless!
Love,
Eric and Kristine Reed
