The countdown begins

I am so excited. It seems like just a few days ago I was fearful and weary, but God has taken those things from me and replaced them with excitement and peace. God is good like that. We have been so blessed and humbled by the love and support of everyone. God has been doing some amazing things in our family and I just want to share some of it with you.

Each child has had their own moment of frustration and fear of the upcoming move. Each one's has manifested in a way unique to the child. A few weeks ago Mari-Madeline was upset and Walker was comforting her and this was all he said "Mar, we have to trust mom and dad, because dad knows what God wants for our family." This settled her and she was fine after that. I was brought to tears and felt God wrapping me in His arms and saying I have taken care of it all, trust me. I fully trust God and to see my son trusting us and God just takes my breath away.

We got to spend a wonderful few hours with another couple that will be living with us in Honduras. Ryan and Chuck got to spend some guy time talking and Katie and I got to spend girl time talking. God has taken care of the details of personalities and friendship. We love Chuck and Katie and could not be more blessed than to be working with them in the field. Chuck and Katie volunteered to come to Tennessee and get all our things for the shipping crate; again this is God's provision alone.

Something that I will never be able to fully put into words is how humbled I am by all of our partners. We have had so many people join our prayer team and our financial team. God alone is in control of this and I am so grateful that our partners are with us. It is such a blessing to know that someone is praying for your family and ministry daily. We also could not be fulfilling our call to international missions without our financial partners. Thank you to all of you. We are at 31% of our monthly budget and have almost all of our one-time expenses covered.

I know this was long and thank you for reading it. God is good.....

Merry Christmas to All

Well, time for a little updating. We were out of town last week spending an early Christmas with family. Amazing times were had and God was at the center of it all. We had several chances to share our love of God and our call to the mission field. We are all rejuvenated and ready to enjoy the CHRISTmas season. We were blessed to see our children’s ministry tell the Christmas story, brought tears to my eyes!

We have been collecting many items we will need for the move. Some were gifts to us and some we have had to bargain hunt for. God is so good at meeting all of our needs. We went looking for several items and were able to find many of them on clearance! What a joy to be saving money on basic items. We have a few items still on a watch list; I am convinced I can always find them cheaper.


Thank you to all of our partners. The blessings continue to humble me and amaze me. We are now at 25% of our goal! Praise God. 25% is such a huge number to me, but God knows no limits. Thank you for being a part of God’s plan and joining us on this journey. Thank you to our prayer partners, we could not be doing this without your continued prayers.

Philippians 4: 4-7 (The Message) Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
