Family

My sister and brother-in-law came through Chicago on their way back to South Carolina after attending a wedding. They weren't here for long, just a few days, but Mike and I loved taking them exploring on the northshores of Chicago. It is funny how the older we get, the more important FAMILY becomes. It just seems like it was yesterday when we were children fighting over who got the barbie; now we are married and actually enjoy spending time together. Funny how time changes our perspective!

Thank you to all who are praying for us. We have felt those prayers and seen God answer them! We are now at 28% of our full support and we are feeling energized!

God recently used a passage in the Old Testament to encourage Mike and I in this support raising process...perhaps it will encourage you as well.

"Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's...You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you...Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." ~ 2 Chronicles 20:15b,17,20b~

Pretty much perfect

What a wonderful night of celebration; 3 new supporters, a beautiful night, the first campfire of the season, Bear's first Smore (without chocolate, of course), and Chacos!
