Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! We have been so blessed by many of you as you have been encouraging us, praying for us, and giving financially to us. God has just shown us that we need to keep on holding on to Him – because He can do amazing things in a very short amount of time. We have almost reached commitments for 50% of our monthly support and have received over 60% of our budgeted expenses for start-up and one-time costs for when we make the move to Guatemala.
Life update:
Less than 4 months remain until we make our move and the calendar keeps on filling up. A trip down to North Carolina to speak at a church and visit Shauna’s uncle and aunt, a trip out to Ohio to visit with some family and friends along with talking about our vision, a camping trip, graduation celebrations, a wedding, church softball games, and a beach trip are just some of the things we will be doing in the near future. It seems that days keep filling up – but it is so important to constantly remind myself that I need time just to sit without distractions to think and talk to God. It’s so difficult when all these activities are happening along with my normal work schedule with Red Rock Landscaping and watching occasional Phillies and Cubs games. However, if I want to continue to follow God’s call and be able to sense where He is leading us I need to schedule out some space to spend time with my Leader, Guide, and amazing God. So if you could be praying for me in regard to this request I would really appreciate it.
The song lyrics from these two songs have been going through my head and I thought I would share them:
We must go live to feed the hungry; Stand beside the broken; We must go. Stepping forward keep us from just singing; Move us into action; We must go. Fill us up and send us out Lord. -God of Justice
Take a break from all the plans that you have made, and sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper. Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak, and pray for real upon your knees until they blister.
Shine the light on every corner of your life, until the pride and lust and lies are in the open. Then read the Word and put to test the things you've heard, until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken. -Clear the Stage

‘Until my heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken’
That’s when you can tell God is on the move.
We still have Guatemalan scarves, fresh coffee, chocolate covered coffee beans, and bracelets for sale if you are interested.

Until next time
