Because it is never Good Bye.

     This past week has been full of dinner dates and fellowship with friends and family. We feel so loved by all of the invites for our family to come and spend evenings with your families as we say, "See you later." Because it is never good bye. We have experienced warm hugs, nights at the movies, game nights, hot tub talks, hot dinners, and lots of love from so many of you. As we prepare for this adventure, we are praying for God to bring us families just like yours for us to be blessed by and for us to bless.
     So much of what we do lies in our relationships with others. Without those relationships with each of you and those we will meet, life seems somewhat pointless. I mean, how are we to share the love of Jesus without relationships like so many of you have shown to us?
     Jesus prayed to God for unity in the body, for us to become one like Jesus is one with God. This is a call for relationships. For us to be one, for the purpose of Gods Glory, we must be in relationship with others. All of the relationships we have here mean the world to us and the kingdom.


      On another note- Our house looks like a bomb went off inside. There is bags, clothing, and anything else you can think of everywhere! Trying to figure out what to bring when you only can take 2 -50lb pieces of luggage per person is harder than you may think. And you probably already think it is hard.
What pictures, wall decor, personal mementos, books, DVDs, clothing, sheets, pots, dishes and the list goes on, do we bring?


-We have found a home for our dog! Praise Jesus. Some great friends of ours said they would take her, and even just watch her for us if we can end up shipping her down at some point. What a blessing. Thanks guys, you know who you are.


     We were blessed this past Sunday to be able to share our mission with Lake Shore House of Prayer. We always love going into that church and sharing what God is doing. They are so welcoming and loving. I thank God for them often.
     We were also blessed to have some great friends pray for our family from Ridge Point Community Church Sunday afternoon. What a blessing to have their support too.


Well, that's is for now. The next time you see a post, it will probably be from Puerto Rico. Talk to ya later.
