Looking forward

Well, after our last post, we had some great friend call and say they would be willing to provide the rest of the air fare we would need to get to Haiti. The Lord is so Amazing! Since we commited to teach in Ellensburg, prior to the Lord providing the money to move to Haiti, we will honor that commitment and see what the Lord does. If we have learned anything over the last six months, it's to leave all our options open and let the Lord direct us where He will. If Ellensburg is not what He has for us right now, we will head toward Haiti, as that is where his provision seems to be for now.
I think so much about all of our family and friend who are praying for us and supporting us and imagining how crazy this must be for you as you aren't sure what is going on in our lives until we talk to you or post. Usually by the time we do that, things have turned into a whole different picture than the last time. We want to thank you so much for your patience and compasion as this ride may be more crazy for you than us, as we see every step that the Lord is taking to get us where He wants, but when you are a Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, close friend or part of our church body. It is hard to get used to the idea of having your loved ones move far away to a foreign country, then get used to the possibility of them maybe not going, then throwing a whole other option into the mix.
Our lives go through very stable times and then crazy times. I think the Lord just wants to make sure we don't get to comfortable and forget we need to be willing to do whatever he calls us to, whenever he needs us to. We do understand, that as an on looker it can be very frustrating. We hope that God has given you the patience He has given us and that it has been a growing experience for you also.

God is so good to use the hard times to help us lean on Him and then He use that special time with Him, to teach us and comfort us. We pray that you have seen His amazing compasion and love, as we have over the last couple months and we will continue to see as long as we turn our faces to Him. May God bless your day and week.
