Kick off went great!

Well, we kicked of the 1st sunday at Calvary Chapel Everett on Sunday. We were so blessed to see how the Lord provides. There were quite a few people who showed up, many who were very familiar with Calvary Chapel and some who had no idea, but were willing to come in and take a gander. Lots of people were prayed with and people we never thought would have been impacted by the service, gave us some very encouraging words after the service. Everything worked out wonderfully and we are excited to see what God does and who he brings next week. Unfortunatly we forgot our camera so you will have to wait for pictures until next week.

All is going well on the home front. Tadd was able to attend the Lake Stevens Men's conference last Saturday and then the Seattle Pastors Conference on Monday and Tuesday. He was very blessed and Charity was able to get some much needed housework done.

We have not heard any updates on our adoption yet but are hoping to hear with in the next week or so. Please pray that the Lord will do an amazing work in Haiti and our adoption will be pushed through the paperwork pile up. Thanks so much for your continued prayer. I was reading in Daniel a few days ago and it was talking about when the King Cyrus said all the Jews that had been taken captive in Babylon could go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the city. Only a small portion of the Jews wanted to go back and it greeved Daniel so much he started to pray and fast for the people. On the 24th day of his fast an Angel came to him and said that he had tried to come the first day that Daniel had humbled his heart and set his heart to understanding God, but the Devil had intercepted him and he fought with him for 21 days until Michael the Arch Angel came to help him. It really helped me to realize what a spiritual battle we are in every day. I wonder what would have happened if Daniel would have given up praying after a day, a week or a few weeks. As God helped me to see how important prayer is, it made me so thankful for all of you who pray for us and our kids consistantly. Thank you agian so much.
