I want to share an inspiring analogy here about how things are going for us, but I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s needed. What is needed is being provided! We\u2019ve been praying throughout the slow-down we\u2019ve all been in and are still walking through, that God would resume His work in the hearts of people in our community when it came partnering with the Potter\u2019s in our mission. And the reality is, God didn\u2019t ever stop working. So, He never needed to resume ANYTHING. We were the ones who needed to resume trusting His timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without using any more extra words, we\u2019re excited to share that another three (maybe four) families have come on board in the last few weeks and are helping us towards our monthly goal. So, that means that since we started this stage of the journey back in late January, God\u2019s added as many as nine new monthly partners! There\u2019s still a little more detail needed and so we can\u2019t say exactly what part of the goal has been reached, but whatever it will be, we are SO grateful for God\u2019s work in our friends who have joined our team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another area we have been praying about was Bethany\u2019s eye and veins. She was to have had a repeat of the PRK surgery on her left eye in early April but that had to be postponed due to the state\u2019s requirements on elective surgery. We knew that meant more headaches and blurriness until it could take place. We\u2019re thankful to report that she\u2019s been scheduled to have the procedure late this week as the restriction on procedures like this one has been lifted. We\u2019re grateful that the surgery center we\u2019re using was able to fit Bethany into their schedule as they\u2019re only doing this procedure on that single day for the indefinite future as they begin to resume normal operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, another blessing is that we\u2019ve been able to save up the funds for a procedure to help alleviate the poor blood circulation Bethany\u2019s had in both legs for years. She has normalized life with a lot of pain, aches, and swelling and so to be able to have hope that she could be pain-free in both legs is sweet! She\u2019s scheduled to have the procedure on both legs, with a week in between each leg, later this month and in early June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for EVERY time you ever pray for us. Taking time out of the flow of your day to ask God to meet our needs, to encourage our hearts, to strengthen us, is a beautiful gift for you to give!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
