Count Down

Hey everybody, the count down has begun, to both my last day at Carden Jennings (Nov 2) and our departure date to language school (Dec 28).

We are excited, but at times feel overwhelmed.

Here are a few things to pray for:

—That we can rent our home starting Jan 1, 2008.

—Sam has an orthodontic appliance in his mouth now, pray for his comfort and progress.

—That we can cross the finish line soon with support raising. We are at 93% of our monthly need met. Pray for more people to join with us. We have another $300 per month left to raise, and another $7,000 or so for our 1x outgoing costs.

—Angela has what may be kidney stones. Pray they are just that and nothing more. She goes for an X-Ray soon.

—For our good health, and spiritual growth over the next three months.

—God to have mercy on us as we begin to learn Spanish!

Well, it has been a while since we reported in here, that is not an indication however that our spirits are down or we don't have anything to say. In fact, the opposite is true, our spirits are high and we could tell you so much about how we have seen God at work in us and around us.

Our support raising is going very well. We still have not crossed the finish line, but we are getting close. We see God blessing this effort, and feel affirmed that the timing of our departure is right for us. Pray that God will continue to raise up a team of supporters to come around us.

In addition to raising support, I am still working my publishing job, school is in session at home as Angela is teaching Sam and Georgia, Ty is in preschool, we are laying the groundwork for so much transition that will come upon us soon—it is busy but not burdensome.
