"Love has Come...

"...and its given me hope to carry on" - Caedmon's Call

The journey continues for us, as we search and wait for Gods leading. The unknown can be scary, but it is a comfort to know and to truly believe that "ALL things work together for good, for those who love the Lord." We do know we are moving, soon. What we dont know is where, how, or why... Please join us in praying for our complete trust in God's plan, and that will listen to that still, small voice that will beckon us to the next phase in our lives. (Or maybe this life on Earth is one big long phase...?!?)

Several things have been encouraging to me over the past few weeks. Brennan Manning writes (in "The Signature of Jesus") that there are varying levels of our call to discipleship. This transition has reminded Jeremy and I, once again, that the life a disciple is not a challenge to obtain maximum comfort, stability, or converts - but to remember that only "one thing is needed": to love the Lord with all our heartsoulmindandstrength - our everything.

Impact had a new staff spiritual training conference here in September which turned out to be just what Jeremy and I needed in the form of encouragement and growth. Dean Trune taught on how we as Christians struggle to please God through actions and intents, instead of relying on and trusting Him in humility. In other words, to truly live as if we have accepted the grace that is freely given. The spiritual training was also an incredible time of community and fellowship with other Impact staff members.

Even though I am unsure if anyone is checking this, I trust that the right eyes will read it and join us in prayer for:
- total trust in God, not just in the areas we choose.
- our remaining time at Eagle Rest - that we will have servant hearts
- God to reveal to us where He wants us to go, and for us to put aside our selfish desires
- our fundraising (we do not have enough coming in monthly)
- mentoring relationships for Jeremy and I

We are SO grateful for your prayers and support. Who knows, maybe one of these blogs, I will be able to write and let you know what the immediate future holds for us. Until then, we take comfort in knowing you are out there, praying for us in love and care.
