Hey folks. I know it's been a long time since our last post. I've been busy trying to get a teaching job nailed down before we leave for Guatemala. As of now, we haven't heard anything back from the public schools I've applied to. Schools seem to move much more slowly than I'd like! But I am not putting any expectations on God. He has provided us with so much and validated every decision we've made so far in regards to this trip, I just know He is watching us and smiling, knowing what His plans are that we just can't even begin to grasp. So please be praying for my job situation! In my prayer time last night, I found this passage from Matthew, and I plan to hold tight to this scripture:
Matthew 6:25-27
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Last week we took a trip out to Kansas to see my Aunt and Uncle; Laurie and Greg, and their two boys Joey and Josh. Laurie and the boys are going to be part of the team coming from their church to Agua Viva this summer! We took an afternoon to meet with the team leaders and then another evening to meet the entire team. This was such a wonderful experience to get to meet the team and give them a bit of an orientation before getting to the home. They had lots of good questions and seem very eager to work. An added bonus was spending the weekend with Laurie and Greg and the boys who have been EXTREMEMLY supportive of our decision to make this trip. It makes it so much easier when your loved ones are there cheering you on! Thanks guys!
Today (April 27) was our last Sunday at Sherwood Oaks until we get back from Guatemala. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to all our friends at church. It made it all the more real that we are really doing this! Tom was great and had us come up on stage for all 3 services and pray for our trip and introduce us to the congregation. We'll miss Tom's sermons and the routine of Sunday mornings that we've become accustomed to! It will be a while before we hear a sermon in English again!
We ask that you continue to pray for our trip and our finances. We've done pretty well, but have not reached our goal yet. We know that no matter how much we raise, God will be able to use it to bless our lives and the lives of the children at Agua Viva.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Al que puede hacer muchisimo mas que todo lo que podamos imaginarnos o pedir, por el poder que obra eficazmente en nosotros, a el sea la gloria en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesus por todas las generaciones, por los siglos de los siglos! Amen
