On the Road Again

Sorry it's been awhile since I have posted anything. This month has been a delightful time of refreshing myself in the Lord.  I am so thankful for time to sit and watch the birds, look at the flowers and just enjoy God and His creation.  It's been a blessing to have time to read, reflect, process and seek the Lord. By the way, have you read the book PRODIGAL GOD by Tim Keller?  I am not even finished as it's really taking some pondering and praying but I can't recommend it enough - it's incredible and a must read! 

Well for over 4 months now we have been seeking the Lord to reveal His will for our lives.  It appears that God is leading us to participate in a management team for all of Mexico, including the Border Ministry.  There are 62 missionary family units on the field in Mexico and it’s simply more than Andrew Lamb, the regional Director, can manage.  So, he is putting together a management team, which will consist of him, 1 other family and possibly us.  Because this is a new concept with MTW and there are no job descriptions, we are leaving Sunday morning driving to Florida to meet with the whole management team and, we have LOTS of questions. 

So, would you please pray for us this week as follows?

Praise God for the time this month to read, reflect, process and repent.

Praise God that Andrew really wants us to work with him.

Praise God for Andrew’s willingness to process with us further and answer all of our questions.

Pray for safe travel, we will return on Friday, June 5, 2009.

Pray for God to clearly confirm/reveal His will for our lives through these meetings.

Pray for a time of refreshment and fellowship.

Pray for God to reveal a timetable, and other future logistics if this is His will.

We thank you for standing with us during our transition, for your financial support especially during these difficult financial times and for your prayers. We are very excited about being able to share the outcome of our meetings upon our return with you.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord…….come and pray to me, and I will hear you…..You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord.  Jeremiah 29:11-1
