It’s the beginning of the end…I think. We’ve been moving around so much over the past three years, I’m actually afraid to type that. It seems almost too good to be true, and you know what they say about those situations. Nevertheless, we’re leaving for CO in a little less than an hour, and going to our new home. While being with our families and seeing some good friends has been truly refreshing and wonderful, we’re both looking forward to getting into our own place in a fantastic city with some amazing people.
As we leave for CO Springs, we still don’t have a place to live. Thankfully, however, Gary and Lisa Black (the couple that will mentoring us while we’re out there), are leaving for Africa on Monday and are allowing us to house-sit for them, being parental stand-ins to their SIX kids (quickie parenthood, here we come!) for the next couple of weeks. This is awesome because it allows us some place to lay our heads for the short-term while we look for a place to lay our heads for the long-term. We would really appreciate your prayers for us in this process, as we look for a home that we can use for the glory of God. We’ve got some really great choices out there, but we want to be obedient and sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit as we make our decision.
Along the way, we’ll be stopping and staying with friends in Nashville and Kansas City, which will be great. It’s so wonderful to know that our ever-expanding network of friends affords us the opportunity of seeing people that we love wherever we go. Then we’ll be landing in CO Springs on Saturday. Please pray for travel mercies for us. The Lord was so good to us last summer, keeping us from any issues, and we just pray the same for this trip.
Finally, we ask for your prayers for this new phase of our lives. It seems a little unnerving to move into this without much of a clue of what exactly it is that we’ve moving into. But we’re confident that God has gone ahead of us, and is so excited for us to arrive and step into His plans there in CO. We appreciate how each of you walks alongside of us as well in this and can’t wait to give you updates from the Rocky Mountains!
