2 more weeks in Utah!
It's hard to believe that this transition was just a thought in November, a prayer started in December, and today it is more than obvious that it is all apart of God's divine ways as things have just clicked into place. The house is rented, items are being sold at amazing speeds. Now if I can only get the burb sold we'd be in business! But I know the Lord already knows the plans for that as well. As I sit here taking a breather from all the packing, storing, wrapping, trashing, etc. and watching my girls put together a song and dance routine, I am so thankful to the Lord for all things good and bad that have been a part of our lives. Through the good we have experienced God's goodness and grace and through the bad we have been stretched & grown from them. Today we are in this transitional period where we are mourning our departure from great friends and church family but hopeful to what the Lord will reveal to us in Mexico and how He will use us. So for now...we continue in the cleaning & packing and counting the days til we are in Cali for 3 weeks before heading south. Monica is mostly looking forward to Magic Mountain to hang out with Amy, Josiah, and Adam....I too am looking forward to it!

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).
