Seasons of Great Strengthening

Wow! This blog has been calling me for a while and I haven't placed myself down to just plain and simple say "hello". "Hello". I really want to update you all on everything that God is doing with our preparation to move...but you might stop reading too soon because so much is happening. Right now we are 70% funded for monthly support and our one time needs have been met! How awesome is our Lord! Every time Aaron and I sit and pray over specific needs or people the Lord is so faithful to move. We are still praying and trusting to be fully funded soon so that we can actually get to the funds to purchase our airline tickets! In the midst of fun-raising:) we have continued to be busy with the kiddos. God has been opening Aaron's eyes and heart to walk in his role in God's design of a dad. And I have been stepping out of that discipline roll and more into nurturing my children. (We both discipline, but Aaron is the lead in it) It has been so amazing to se

Loving and being loved is all the pleasure, joy and happiness, of an intelligent being-Matthew Henry

"I don't need to ask." "We will figure it out." "I can sell more of what we have." "We really are just fine."  These are my typical thoughts.

And in those good habits...I still believed that I was trusting the Lord to be provider. Yes, in the midst of these actions I knew I was doing my best to steward what He had given us and me as a wife. Truly most of these things I did and still do are good. Not bad. But as I sit and search my heart I find that there is a lot of "I" in the control seat of these actions. It is truly good to sit bef

HOW AWESOME!!!

I am so in awe of how great this season is. Now, it has not been easy at all, but so amazing to be in a place where we are in complete trust in our Provider! We knew in the back of our minds that God ultimately had been the provider of all we had before, yet even then we felt in small ways we had something to do with our income by working. And as the years went by that thought took over our trust in Him. Now God has us in a place of complete trust financially in Him to be provided for financially through the body of Christ! Honestly, we for sure came into this with many fears and apprehension to feeling like we were asking from people...but it so completely not about the money! It's asking them to be a part of the fruit and ministry God is going to do in Haiti and they get to be a part of it! Senders! Not only do they get us there but they keep us there! What's been amazing is that the Holy Spirit has gone before us and so many people we've connected with are so excited for
