we did get a house it is a gift from the lord a house that should be falling apart but isn't a house that should feel small but feels huge a house with a double lot a yard with tons of mulberry trees so that once a year i can feel extra resourcefull picking berries. In march we had our baby Estella shalom She is a delight who is just starting to crawl but is desperate to walk. March 19 it was our

Two months really not that long when you don't sleep but feel like your dreaming all day... Aralynn 4 months old doing amazing things. Sitting in a jhonny jump up using differnt voice tones chilling through her first cold... She is consuming yet freeing. Delivering more babies which is emotionally fulfilling. It is hard to get into the midwifery community here. Those that have been around are

2004-09-16T13:32:00.000-05:00

Our baby is beautiful, such an eye opener. i had no idea that when you have a baby how drastically your world stops, and another begins. I had hit a mini mid life crissi where I felt like I had accomplished what i set out to do and there was no more. I found a buch of art work from Wabisabi. On one was written "as you remeber the dreams that God has given you" Oh yea there is hope for the

2004-08-01T11:31:00.000-05:00

Just looking at Andy and bea's blog and remember that we haven't blogged since all things good and wonderful have come to us! Our own Aralynn Isabella Cload was born july 14th at 6:33am and 6.3lb. She's quite perfect and super cute. I still don't know how to post pictures on the blog; Help! I've got a few pictures so if you'd like a shot that may send you into a jelious frenzy give us a a mail

2004-06-11T20:05:00.003-05:00

God has already started providing in amazing ways for my family. The body of Christ really going the extra mile. My mom called it sacraficial giving just the sound of that is convicting. I have achevied cervical ripening and lightening right on schedule. The increase in contractions reminded me that we had nothing ready for labor no bag packed no small outfit for her to wear home. I think

2004-06-11T20:05:00.002-05:00

I have been feeling horrid this last week It has been really difficult to even want to be with my family as it just feels so huge and there is nothing i can DO. I am going down tomorrow to spend the last week that my dad has at home with him. I have almost come to terms with Dad leaving it is like a two year mission trip He is a missionary at heart it could be good but mom and 8 kids that feels

2004-06-11T20:05:00.001-05:00

Life has been super climbing chimneys, trees adn even got back to the gorge! God continualy gives us work to pay the bills and play play play! Our baby will be here shortly and she's doing well we still are taking medication to keep her heart right so continue to pray for us. July 21 Lord willing whewhoo! anyway just have a second to say life is great and I'm heading outa here Grace is ready to

2004-06-11T20:05:00.000-05:00

2004-06-08T15:54:00.000-05:00

We have been going down to my parents a lot this month as it will be the last time in a couple years we will see dad at home. The baby is doing good not great but good. She has started a new thing where she will skip heart beats which normally I would not be super concerned about but given the circumstances I would much rather her heart sound perfect like it did last week. I am still

2004-06-04T08:59:00.000-05:00

Seems people aren't getting are latest blogs? Are baby is doing great inside Grace. SHE is due on July 21st and is moving lots; Heart beating well. So were just getting to enjoy pregnancy. Grace is much better since we switched medications. She's now not nauseous and has a super cute belly. This weekend is about to be a fun one! We are about to switch houses with Graces parents! I'll take the

2004-05-11T12:19:00.001-05:00

Thankyou all for your prayers; Its been nice getting your reminders. Doc says that we need to keep up what were doing and keep on regularly checking up. (Basicaly nothing) This oppinion changes regularly between Doc's and every day we won't know who's plan wins until tomorrow. So One Doc ordered a change to medication, the other on call decided to up the dose of the preveos one. We were suposed

2004-05-11T12:19:00.000-05:00

well where do i start... we went back in to the hospital on friday only had to stay till saturday. The best thing about going to the hospital was that they switched my anti-nausea medication to one that worked. The worst part is that we are still in the same place. Right now the medication is preventing heart failure but thats about it. Which in a lot of ways is fine. At the moment I am going in

2004-04-30T20:52:00.000-05:00

The end of the month update! Grace is doing well. Our baby girl's heart rythemn still fluctuates. (spelling encouraged by Tyler Brown) We are very grateful for your prayers. House church has been good. I'm looking for a drum for worship if anyone has a clue for me as to where to look? I've been working for Fred Koch green houses and will for a few weeks. Thats crazy work. I AM SO BLESSED TO MAKE

2004-04-21T16:02:00.000-05:00

We are still at home and being grateful for your prayers. we went to Doc. Dryer's today and found that our little juji is doing better than yesturday but keep praying. We still go every day to get ultrasounds. (Thats alot of Doc. visits.) So that is mostly draining to Grace. Blogging at Tyler Brown's. He's a good friend that lets me hop on his cable conection!!! Yesturday I sold the FOX.

2004-04-20T12:02:00.000-05:00

April is national Cesarean month which is something I hope not to take part in celebrating. We are doing Ultrasounds every day now. Juji does way better when the level of medication is higher. So now I just need to stop throwing it up and we will be set.

2004-04-16T12:17:00.000-05:00

Grace is HOME! We are doing Super enmjoying being away from the hospital. We still go 3 times a week to check up on our little juji. Her heart is getting too many signals so we are taking digoxin to slow them down a bit and hopefully balance her rythmn. Ohio is sun shinny and I'm out trying to get more cars sold. God is SO good thanks for all your prayers!!!

2004-04-11T15:30:00.000-05:00

. Grace is now in the hospital hopfuly for just a few more days 513-872-2930 is her room # I hope just untill wednesday. Our baby's heart wasnt pumping and the arithmia was at 300 beats per min and irratic so we were crazy beside our selves and now we've been at the doctors since wed and have been given digoxin. (maybe not spelled that way) Anyway the fluid build up, has gone down considerably(

2004-04-02T12:42:00.000-05:00

The lady at the maternity shop told me I could use the pillow "belly" to look 3-4 months pregnant. She did not quite understand when I jokeingly said well that would put me at 9 months. I am showing a little less then the average pregnant women in the begining of her SIXTH month. My father had his sentancing yesturday (it sounds like such a dirty word) lots of ugly things happened, we came out

2004-03-15T14:09:00.000-05:00

wow it has been a month since I last blogged. Ashamedly so. Cload family is doing well. robby has been under our kitchen sink for the last week to no avail. except that our basemaent has a rather large puddle now. We had the Hicks a family living in the same house as Linnea at the moment come over to look at moveing into the upstairs part of our duplex which would be great. They have two children

2004-02-12T15:00:00.000-05:00

Being Home is nice. I've got my first Thai massage class to teach this Saturday. I'm pretty excieted. I love teaching and hopefully I'll have a decent enough program to help my friends use easier body mechanics to get the same job done. Sandi has vission to re-introduce prayer massage. It seems people are interested in spiritual things and need a healthy place to go. Right on girl! So we need to

2004-02-10T16:55:00.000-05:00

Do you know what makes me really sad people that judge others. Grace is my name.

2004-02-10T16:53:00.000-05:00

It has been interesting thinking about the postmodern church and what it really means to robby and I. Neither one of us have felt like God has called us out of what I would consider the traditional church. For us the "postmodern church" (which to me seems like a very big word for something so simple) Is people getting together to praise God to share life together what most people would call a

2004-02-09T11:38:00.000-05:00

We ended up going to the church that Jonathan and his family are helping to start. completely refreshing! We felt the baby kick two days ago it was awsome but robby and I and the women that is really been praying for our baby all felt but did not talk about it till later that the baby was strugging with the cord. Since then I have been spending alot of time waiting for my baby to kick again. We

2004-02-05T12:00:00.000-05:00

We are home as of a week and a half ago. It was crazyness since getting home I had women calling the next day for child care Robby has had one car start leaking all its fluids another car be reposesed and then die and the last car still in the process of being a mess. I have since taken time to regain sanity. Robby and I talked to a man named Jonathan from the community up in cincinnati. It was

2004-01-22T03:57:00.000-05:00

It's a shame to be in the Hong Kong airport and have no conection to anyone in the city. This is the second time this trip we've had an 8 hour layover! One would think we are adventurous enough to get out there and EXPLOR! Well It looks grey out and a bit expencive so I really don't want to spend money to get lost. Not with my wife at the risk of missing our plane. So here we are wishing we had

2004-01-22T03:48:00.000-05:00

as we were going Charlene and I sat down with a really stressed Hilary. She is in desperate need for a manager, and soon will really need midwives. The woman they had asked to come and manage is unavailable untill after summer. Charlene feels like God is calling her back to the states earlier then expected which is great for me ( She will be able to deliver our baby) but bad for hilary who is

2004-01-21T09:02:00.000-05:00

well we are on our way home tomorrow. Robby did another miraculous job packing and we are ready to be on our way. Charlene made us a leaving sloppy joe feast, it was really good. we played games and gave hugs goodbye. I am hopeing for an awsome peace while we travel. honestly I wrote a long blog befor i lost it and now I am not terribly motivatd to rewrite as I am tired. I did watch Ben hur

2004-01-17T04:45:00.000-05:00

we arrived back in cebu safe and sound. traffic was amazingly bad due to a huge city wide festival. Imagine 35 minutes for 200 feet. Sometimes in High school the metro buses we would ride home would not have AC but you couldn't open the windows either so in the middle of june they would cram a bus wall to wall with highschoolers (insert smell factor) and hope you had a safe trip home. Our ride

2004-01-14T18:23:00.000-05:00

quick note to let people in on where we are escaping to. As of this morining robby and I are island explorers we have had reccomendations to go to the island of Bohol and so off we go untill sat. afternoon The island is only an hour and a half away and aparently we will actually get to see water. Which we have not been able to do yet. Sunday I have a 24hr shift so it will go fast then monday we

2004-01-11T22:05:00.000-05:00

Learning some new things, like it is not actually illegal to be a midwife in Ohio. Yea that chages a few things. Listened to the little peas heart beat again the first time in the second trimester 160 bpm. Charlene Gaines has agreed to be my midwife we will fly her up from San antonio to do the birth. She has a few stipulations like I would have to find some place to dipstick my urine and check

2004-01-07T07:25:00.000-05:00

My heart has been called out of asia i am so glad that od has brought us here i would have spent the rest of my days thinking that God secreatly wanted me here when really he wants us someplace else entirly. it feels like someone blew a big fresh breath of air into all my dreams. After tossing and turning over who will attend my birth seeing no options but knowing God wants the best for me, a

2004-01-05T22:47:00.000-05:00

WHEN a man desires a thing too much, he at once becomes ill at ease. A proud and avaricious man never rests, whereas he who is poor and humble of heart lives in a world of peace. An unmortified man is quickly tempted and overcome in small, trifling evils; his spirit is weak, in a measure carnal and inclined to sensual things; he can hardly abstain from earthly desires. Hence it makes him sad to

2004-01-05T22:05:00.000-05:00

I've played basket ball with some of the kids and the 10 year olds are definatly more my level. for some reason i can't get the ball through the hoop. Every shot looks good and jumps out but thats just God laughing at my vanity for always wanting to be good. Yesturday we were at an import store and they had wine so i naturally thought of you my dear friend Mark. i'll have to get one for a special

2004-01-02T21:41:00.000-05:00

I wish I could have givent his in differnt order you are always supposed to give the bad news first and then the good news. yesturday during prenatal of which we had 45 an all time high, I did a prenatal on a woman whose baby had died within that last week. she is crushed and with my little pregnancy i only only imagine the depth of pain she is feeling. she is already 5 months along. It was a

2003-12-30T20:15:00.000-05:00

grace and the little pea here. Haveing no idea if or what my husband has written I would just like to ramble on a bit. We heard the babies heart beat which was awsome 180 beats per minute Dec 18th. it made the changes feel productive rather then unstopable. Cebu is wonderful. Everyone and everything has been made very festive for the holidays. fortunatly we are getting to see alot of cebu on

2003-12-28T05:42:00.000-05:00

Check'n in to tell you little. Today was fantastic Grace was off work so we made plans to bus to a waterfall and pack a picknic. but it looked a bit rainy and grace wasn't feeling super; so we got to be together, sleep in air conditioning, take a late lunch and watch a movie with a friend. Yep that was our super day in the Philipines! quiet and together.

2003-12-10T22:33:00.000-05:00

Hello hello! We're doing good yonder here in the philipines. Grace just did a birth and is on call today in the clinic. I've been cruzing around riding jeepnies figuring out the city, not doing a whole lot but giving good input and hopfully prodding good change to the clinic. It's amazing how little their is to do here. Millions of kids content to sit do just that, and really what is there to do

2003-12-07T20:22:00.000-05:00

I love being a servant midwife. It is amazing the things that God has used, these last two years while even though i have not been practicing, I have learned about being a better midwife. So far I have been reabsorbing cebano and taking vitals. Robby has been off exploring cebu, on his own. We are staying with Hilary and david the couple that started he clinic, they have so many wonderful stories

2003-12-05T23:22:00.000-05:00

we are now in the Philipines and are super welcome! Grace has a few days before she jumps into the schedule. So were exploring cebu today and hanging out with Charline.= that makes for a great day. I'm still not sure what God wants to do with me but it is great to be with christians and remeber that Jesus she when he had time went off to be with his Father. so this might be Gods way of sticking

2003-11-26T16:47:00.000-05:00

A few more details due july 21st get afternoon sickness My husband is a water natzi (I carry a camel pack around everywhere) I am going to deliver a baby really really soon We sold a car

2003-10-27T19:25:00.000-05:00

Where should we have thanksgiving! This is Graces favorite holiday and we realy ought to have thanks giving planed on different days so we could travel accross the states celebrating the whole way! lately I've been playing cars trying to earn money to get to the Philipines. We have yet to see God direct us to perfect buyers but that will come. hopefully all will be blessed though this endever.

2003-10-26T12:23:00.000-05:00

I went to a job interview last week and the kim the lady interviewing me, had a picture of a friends placenta in her wallet. i can not begin to tell you how happy that made me. Sometimes i forget that I am a midwife if you get pregnant I am qualified to deliver your baby how in the world did I get so lucky. That is not at all what i have been thinking about lately but it is a pleasant thought.

2003-10-18T11:00:00.000-05:00

we are thinking about going to cebu for about a month in january. maybe go the month befor or after.We offically have 7 cars in our possesion. YOu have to love those cars though because those cars pay for a lot of traveling. We have a golden lion piggy bank in our living room and he will pay for some of our traveling too. It is fun learning how to sell things from my husband. Have not heard about

2003-09-29T10:27:00.000-05:00

SLowly finding computers to update the blog. We are home and have had a great time setting up our new place. Grace has been busy making our home look SO GOOD and I have been contiuing my random job cycle. massage still pays the bills but pulling down a shed here and cutting a tree there have been good entertainment along the way. Grace is looking into getting her nursing stuff finished and

2003-09-12T17:31:00.000-05:00

Just so the next 50 people do not have to make slippery little questions: I am not pregnant.

2003-09-01T20:35:00.000-05:00

then we went to thailand and we had the most amazing time at a beach with Kit. She is our favorite Thai missionary. 4 days there and we managed to get a bit more massage biz and God had us all taken care of. Comeing home we got to hang out with my wild and hairy family. Then up to cincinnati, to our amazing apartment. may I just take a moment to really emphasis the cload home. I thought we would

2003-08-20T11:32:00.000-05:00

We made it to spain. did our favorite thing here:swimming in the medditerainian sea. We leave tomorrow for Thailand. Tonight we stay with our amazing angel host Bryce in Barcelona. No more park adventures for us...at least not tonight.

2003-08-19T06:09:00.000-05:00

Hey we are going to Cincinnati. we managed to loose robby's wallet which had all of our america stapels in it. we are very silly. I have been thinking about my level of anxiety and what a waste of energy it is to get anxious everytime it is a cycle of grace gets fussed and then God works it all out and then there is a pause only to begin it all over again. None of that I want to live by faith

2003-08-16T04:03:00.000-05:00

we will be in the USA in exactly 10 days -I am counting. Wabi Sabi has been great so far worship yesturday was amazing. My husband with the help of several made wonderful bread and made me a special heart shaped bread. We did a pilgramage through the jonses' house and had many fond memories. We had our first fish and chips which was incredible! I almost forgot the crazy bit- There are people fom

2003-08-12T17:01:00.000-05:00

I was talking to richard today. His profound thought for the day: You live in God's peace and then he gives you bells and whistels. Special things to decorate your christmas tree with. I completely agree with richard that when we live in faith that God's promises will be fullfilled we get good things. Today robby and I read out loud two thirds of this amazing book. my husband loves me and that

2003-08-11T06:21:00.000-05:00

We received another one of those yucky phone calls again the kind where they say "Grace, I am afraid I have some bad news..." Looks like Granda Bowers went to be with Jesus yesturday. It sounds weird just to say that she is dead. Since i am not with my family it still feels like we could go home and she would be there to give hugs and tell us how much we have grown and how wonderful she thinks we

2003-08-09T05:26:00.000-05:00

wonderful lady named joy was able to get robby some antibiotics and he is a new man!! no more fevers just a painfull kidney definite progress.

2003-08-07T11:57:00.000-05:00

my new hair do done by Erica. Abagail actually said "Wow your hair is really thick." I think that I am hooked for life to a new hair dresser.

2003-08-06T13:48:00.000-05:00

hey richard fixed everything on our blog he is amazing and if you get a chance to meet him you will be entertained for hours by all his cool gifts. I assure you the pleasure will be all yours. I am sitting here with him and mike- people that make you laugh really hard. a true joy. I would like to clarify that it was not my first time caving- minor brain skip for robby. although first time or

2003-08-05T11:01:00.000-05:00

Robby Cload Blogging again. God has been super good to us here in shefield England. This has been one of our only places of fellowshiping with beleivers and just nice to be watching prayers get answered while living very broke. Grace already gave the report that God has provided some funds for us that were able to bless others with and shop for ourselves. Today I took a break from helping

2003-08-05T09:13:00.000-05:00

Straight fom the lap of luxury... or is it just the prescence of God? Robby and I are staying at Fran's house he is the lucky man marrying jen. We have a very comfortable futon we sleep on at night and (GASP) a door to our room that shuts. I am not kidding its called privacy ladies and gentalmen a beautiful thing!! We have been up here it seems like about a week and it has been fantastic. Let

2003-07-30T06:42:00.000-05:00

The night ended up getting more exciting but in a sort of sketchy way. We walked around downtown barcelona for a bit and ended up in a park. exhausted we crashed on the grass and did not wake up untill around 4am a couple guys started riffeling through our bag. Thankfully God was really watching out for us. although all of our important things were strewn in the grass nothing was taken not the

2003-07-23T16:58:00.000-05:00

well we were in the wrong city for our flight to england I might have the energy to tell you the whole dramatic story later but right now I am really tired. in breif we were supposed to fly out of girona airport we spent three hours taking every possible type of public transportation literally running thru barcelona desperatly trying to catch our flight. Only to find out that in the end it is not

2003-07-21T04:38:00.000-05:00

My husband is full of wonderful and creative ways to make life more interesting. Yesturday while we were walking in Burgos, he found a zip tie. (A seemingly harmless piece of plastic.) He said "Grace how about we handcuff you to something with this zip tie" I said "O.k." Robby said "really?!" " Sure I don´t mind. We don´t have anything better to do" robby mentioned that finding some shade

2003-07-20T04:54:00.000-05:00

The last couple of days we have been walking the trail backwards and waiting for spainish publc transportation. We loved the walking, very confusing for all the weary pilgrams walking the correct way. we ended up missing the bus which was good. Since we missed our bus to burgos it gave Jess a chance to think about geting back on the trail. so this morining she left us to start walking again. She

2003-07-16T04:59:00.000-05:00

wahoo I got the robby sign in name to work now you can easily see who is writing

2003-07-15T11:26:00.000-05:00

robby is blogging at the same time as me it will be funny to see what we both come up with living in the same space. This morning I went out to get some time alone (something I do not do enough of) It was beautiful there was a creamy fog covering everything in front of me. As I walked along the river in Burgos the sun rose siloetting the trees. Not to be out done by the trees in their praise, a

2003-07-15T11:22:00.000-05:00

Taking a treck sure is a good way to grow a marriage! We´ve just walked accross Spain doing the camino De Santiago and had a addventure meeting up with friends and loosing them! It appears that when we went to madrid to visit Ruth eveyone left for England and Burlin! So we found Jessica and are just hanging around these cool old towns seeing the countryside of Spain. We just came from Burgos

2003-07-11T11:35:00.000-05:00

MADRID We have temperarily left the Camino de Santioago to visit Graces sister Ruth who has just left for Italy. It has been a fantastic intermission from the trail. Ruth is doing quite well traveling the world with No money! I thought we were busting a move but seriously! has it down; traveling with friends bustin out new styles; they are doin lookin good. So were enjoying the airconditioning

2003-07-08T07:41:00.000-05:00

We have steped of the trail for a coupe of days to see my sister ruth in madrid. Robby has a cold, so his usually deep voice is ranging from basement deep to attic high. He thinks that it was a sick person that came up with the voice for Scooby do. You never know. Pilgramaging is good-hard and life changing. About 20klm a day is a average. Most of the group very quickly got blisters and a lot

2003-07-01T12:34:00.000-05:00

hey folks iiit´´ss ROBBY!!!! just wanted to get on and find out what all my incredable wife has journeied ya´ll through, and yes it looks good. I´´ll do my own redition. Spain is only great because were walking through towns that are 2ooo years old!!! Its amazing and they still have crazy soltural things like running through town with bulls chasing you! we hopeing to be comming back this way

Did you know that menthol cigeretes crystalize your lungs. Major bummer I hope people are honest about their relationships. Take stock and see where things are really at. I talk to girls and I wonder if they are seeing the truth about the boy that they are with. I then ramble over to think about God relationship and it seems harder to take stock with that. But I think it is good to know

Ecc. 9 Tells of the danger of meaninglessness and in youth to remember our creater. God has really made himself amazing and too tricky to fully grasp! But that isn´t necesary or he would have made it posible. I get to walk with all sound dim and live in my head. Quietness makes me sollum and the little things have an effect on everyone. >I wonder how many little things i could say to make a big

Robby and I just finished walking in our very first Gay pride parade. We are all hooked up with the pilgrames and are bopping about in spain for a few days to let the last few people arrive. We are at the moment camping by the beach. It has been a big if not hard transition for me to go from thailand to Spain. I still do not fully undersatnd why but I have not been a happy camper. I think a lot

We have safetly arrived in spain. Our last few days in Thailand were amazing, mostly thanks to a missionary there who not only gave us a beautiful day in massive bangkok but laughed with us and shared her life with us. Things like this are priceless. Barcelona is interesting I have been here for an hour so at the moment all I can say is it is nice that we bought a water and can now use free

For our 2 month aniversary we went to an Indian returant with some mango wine from Chang Mai. (such fun moments.) The store owner gave Robby a key chain and me a bookmark. It was definatly one of the best times

I am glad that our prospective tickets cotinue to improve as we wait and look forward to seeing what God has for us. What a faithful God he has already answered 3 of my prayer requests for this month and with the month not over I look

We have fun adventures!! We have just finished up a two week course on Thai massage and Thai foot massage. We both passed the course, In the end we both ended up doing well and happy that we had taken the course. I think that one of the best parts though was getting to hang out with 30 other people from all over the world. Such a fantastic variety. We started to go to dance/aerobic classes with

This is the story of grace and the mean steel gate: Our motor bike previously mentioned has been perfect for getting around and figuring out life in Chaing Mai. Although robby has given me a little bit of instructions on how to driv, he is the driver and I am the one that remebers how to get places. A system that works out really well for both of us. We stay in one piece and we get to where we

This is the thing I take God's plans and then make it my plan. I do not think that my plan is flexible and I often cling to the plan.. it was a good one, God hisself gave it to me I am obviosly ready to make a few very minor changes seeing as how I am the holder of the plan. then it falls apart and me and my other half are left in a funk. repeat cycle untill I realize that God just wants to be

It is hard to imagine that this is what some missionaries do just drop into a country and try to land some where and hopefully on their feet. I have not decieded what is better to drop in knowing nothing and go from there or to have a base set and then move out from there. I think as far as getting an authentic picture for the culture droping is best- but for productiveness at least on the short

Traveling married= Crazy stuff! Were in Thailand and first pattaya was rediculous! The sex capital of the word. Not much to see but heaps to pray for. We spent two nights there but still didn't have a handle on traveling. were still thinking about downsizing our supplies. Packing for thailand and Europe was a heavey endevour so maybe we can mail stuff up north or just send my camping stuff home.
