Prayer Letter

I am going to start posting our prayer letters on this site as well as updating what is going on in our lives.  Living out here in Wyoming while at school, keeps us somewhat isolated.  So, for our parents sake, I am committed to even doing short little burst posts.  Also, this gives the opportunity for those from our past and church families to follow us on our journey to our future full time ministry.  We are excited for the doors that are opening and the call being placed on our hearts and pray that you will join us in this journey.  Thanks!

Out for a walk around town!

God has been so good to us!  I am learning daily how He can work all things together for good for those who love Him.  I am learning that no matter how good my intentions, I can’t do it all.  Thus, I am about 3 months late in getting this prayer letter out.  We have been crazy busy but are thankful for where we are and what God is doing in our lives.  We are so excited for what is in store for us and are starting to see some clarity in our future ministry possibilities.  Please keep praying that continued clarity will be there as we walk by faith and step into what God has in store for us.  We are still in our little apartment.  It is a long story as to why, but God is providing an even better home for us and we are excited.  There is a possibility that we will get to move over Christmas break, otherwise probably this next summer.  Please pray that we are ok with whenever it is.  My nature says, I want to move during Christmas break, but I am learning to trust God and His timing.  This past summer, our truck broke down on the side of the Interstate, and has once again broken down on the side of the highway.  Thankfully, both times, we were all together, and Dan was able to take care of things.  I don’t think I would have handled the situation as well without him.  Please join us in prayer as to our next step in regards to a vehicle.  It is something that is hard to do without, but we also do not want to make a rash decision.  We know God will provide and show us exactly what we are to do; it is just hard sometimes to wait on his timing.  Are you starting to notice the trend here?  We are learning to wait on the Lord and rest in His goodness. It is difficult as our human nature tells us we need to ‘fix’ everything.  Waiting on the Lord’s guidance is a difficult but necessary lesson for us right now.  We thank you for coming alongside us and lifting us up in prayer.  Each and every prayer on our behalf is greatly appreciated.  Thank you again!
