It\u2019s been an emotional couple of weeks in our household. If you\u2019ve followed our newsletters, you\u2019ll remember hearing of how the Lord worked to sell our house in only 3 days on the market. The next month was a whirlwind! So many things that need to be orchestrated, completed, moved, and finished. The flood of emotions that come with good byes. Saying good bye to our friends, family and neighbors. The single most emotional moment was pulling out of our driveway for the last time, kids crammed in between bags and a trailer in tow. As we packed and each of our neighbors came to say good bye, we realize just how much we\u2019ll miss that home.<\/p>\n

I had one prayer, I asked our Lord to keep the question, \u201cAre you excited!?\u201d from being asked. I didn\u2019t want to be the \u201cbad missionary\u201d who isn\u2019t excited in one of the steps toward the field! I mean, we are delighted to watch the Lord work, we\u2019ve seen His hand through the entire process. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not hard to leave. Like any work we do in life, not every part is exciting, not everything is an adventure.<\/p>\n

The Spirit brought to mind, Philippians 4:4-7 \u201cRejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

As life changes, twists and turns; we rest assured of God\u2019s continued provision and plan for us! We know that we can rejoice in the Lord, His goodness, and His sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Please be praying for us as we integrate our family\u2019s routine into my parent\u2019s routine and we all learn to live under a single roof. We know it\u2019s not an easy thing for my parents either to suddenly have 6 extra people in their home!<\/p>\n

And of course, please pray that the Lord moves people to support the work we will be doing in Papua New Guinea, so that we will soon be on our way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
