Description

We Macs are constantly tilling :: planting the seeds we've been given in hopes of new life springing up behind us as surely goodness and mercy
will follow us all the days of our lives. We will boast only in Jesus, the founder and perfecter of everything.

4.1.11

UPDATE!

Howdy. Just as a way of updating everyone, I thought I would blog about our status in support raising as well as what January will look like for us. 

We are daily reminded of God's faithfulness to us, especially in ways that we never would expect. This Sunday at church, Ted spoke from Proverbs 3 reminding us to, "Lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him." Wow. I have my own way of looking at things, and even my own way of assuming what God is doing or is going to do. That will fail me, unless of course I am walking in the Spirit. I am continually reminded that God has a day for us to move- a specific day- and we are not to move there a day before, nor a day after. As most of you know, we are currently raising our financial support to work in full time ministry in Denver, CO with Latino college students- something God has called us, and given us the obedience to follow Him in. As we daily trust Him to complete our goal, I cannot lean on the schedule I THINK we should be on in getting to Denver, nor should I lean on the people that I THINK will catch the vision for our ministry. God has brought along side us so far over 120 families and individuals who care about Denver hearing the gospel of Christ- WAHOOO! I am so thankful for the way HE THINKS about it, as I am learning so much of His faithfulness and Sovereignty. 

We are so encouraged! We are currently at about 75/76% of our monthly financial goal, and trusting God for the rest.

We are heading to the Destino National Conference in San Antonio in about a week, and are super excited to finally be introduced to the specific ministry we have been entrusted with. We are anticipating meeting many Latino college students from around the nation, and simply learning from them and getting to know them. We have such high hopes that God will do great things there in their lives. We also hope to really catch a feel for the way they do ministry, and get to know the staff that do Destino on a daily basis. We have so much to learn. I have a feeling we will be humbled in a major way.

After we go to San Antonio for the weekend, we will be in Fort Worth (prayerfully) on the way back- meeting with some great people along the way. Pray that God will open doors for us there, not only for the gospel, but also for opportunities to meet with people who could potentially partner with us.

We have had a HECTIC couple of weeks, but life has slowed down for us (at least for the last 2 days) after a week of a funeral and moving. We took a few hours to get away and really enjoy each other. Here are a few pictures from our "hike" aka a walk in the woods compared to our future home in Denver.

Peace and Love, friends.
