Completely AMAZED

We are completely AMAZED at everything!  In 3 months our tasks were to raise partnerships, get our home ready for the market, travel to IL,TX, & SC, sell 2 vehicles, resign from a job, pack up and store items and furniture... and the zillon details that fall under each of those tasks.  All the while, managing 5 kids and all that they require :)   I say this not to applaud ourselves, but to brag on our God.  What He has provided through the Body, the Church, has absolutely left us speechless.  He has brought us to about 3/4 of our financial support, sold both vehicles in one day, provided smooth transition out of Josh's job, & provided unbelievable helping hands with the kids, packing, and moving! I can't believe that this process was not that stressful ( i was expecting many breakdowns on my end, honestly)... and that is because of how the Body has come along side us and provided help in many shapes and forms.  We have had nonstop childcare, meals brought, physical moving power & cleaning help, transportation help, time out with friends to "recoop"...& more. We can't thank each of you enough for the sacrifice of time from your families in order to serve our family.  It is truly an example to us.  It is also a challenge for me personally, in how I should serve others.  Do I serve only in a capacity that is "easy on me" or is it truly a sacrifice of my time and energy in order to honor Him?  We are just blown away that 99% of everything is done, packing & moving wise, and we have the weekend to take it easy before our 3 weeks of intense training in Colorado.  God is so good! 

Our 3 prayer requests are for the house to sell or rent, the remainder of the monthly partners to come in ( I think we need about 800$ more in monthly support), and our transition period! 

We will soon be sending out a mass email with our contact info. 

Thanks to all who have prayed for us, partnered with us, and served us!

We love you!

A New Season...and How God is Providing
