Journey to the next phase of Life - April 2009

Isaiah 42:6-9
"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.
See the former things have taken place, & new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."

Well as most of you might already know, my girls & I will be leaving Utah in June. This decision came after months of much prayer, seeking the Lord's direction, being revealed so much confirmation & trials/test that come along the way. Even today, I continue to just check in with my Abba on this decision - to be sure we are still on His path.
This truly is a sacrifice as we love living in Utah. The biggest thing we will miss is our home church, Calvary Mt. View Church. Monica is a part of the youth ministry and will miss it something terrible. Both Monica and Rebecca enjoy their schools and their friends. I myself am leaving a really good employment position (Central Bank - one of the best places to work in all of Utah!) with much future potential and job security - which these days are hard to come by. All this to say, I recognize that the Lord is truly leading us in a new direction though I don't quite know what it looks like. It definitely is a sacrifice & yet that in itself reminds me that as a child of God, I simply chose to trust & believe in His Way & not my ways.
The Lord has instilled in me a mission's heart & I now am being allowed to be poured out for His Kingdom in Mexico for the summer. We will be serving in the Mixteco Christian Fellowship's Summer School in San Antonio de las Minas, just north of Ensenada, Mexico. This will be for the month of July and after that.....only the Lord above knows.
We ask for your prayers for guidance, provision, and protection on our new journey as gypsies for Christ (Gitanas para Cristo).
