Glory to God for How He Has Worked!

Hello again friends!

First of all, our deepest apologies for being a little out of touch for the past couple of weeks. To those of you who have emailed us or been checking the blog to see if our percentage has gone up, please forgive our lack of communication. The whirlwind of the last week and a half of moving had our heads spinning. Fear not, though, we are alive and well!

I am pleased to report that our heads have (mostly) stopped spinning and we are able to get a breath of fresh air (albeit a bit humid). The girls are healthy, sleeping good, and happy to be chasing lizards.

We are finally really getting settled in to our new home in St. Cloud, FL. The quirks of the house are becoming the “norm” now....the house is becoming home (I have to admit, I am quite the pro at unjamming and then re-jamming the sliding door now). I am NOT, however, used to the ants yet. Ants in my kitchen=very UN-cool.

Okay, most of you are probably wondering “so are you at 100% yet?!” You may have noticed that we took off the remaining amount left from the side of our blog.

God has spoken to the hearts of many of you over the last several weeks, and you have responded enthusiastically to join with us by becoming a financial partner.

Right now it appears that we are, in fact, fully funded to be cleared to begin our assignment! We praise God for how He has brought this whole team together!

The reason we don’t currently have a number posted is because we are in the process of getting everything solidified in terms of numbers. We have to get everything confirmed and cleared through our supervisor, who will then give us the green light to begin working. Tentatively, next Monday (Sept. 21st) will be Trevor’s first day serving at the headquarters.

You will definitely hear when we receive official clearing.

Praise God for how HE has worked. Praise God for HIS perfect timing. Praise God for how He uses each one of us to bring His Word to the nations. What an incredible privilege we have to be a part of this wonderful work. THANK YOU, from the depths of our hearts, to you. Your journeying with us has made all the difference. If not for you, this task would not happen. This is only the beginning!

Watch for our next newsletter (next week or so) where we’ll highlight specific ways how God has worked through the process of this move to Florida.

Thanks for keeping up!

Below is a picture of our first family dinner in our new home. My parents were of invaluable help as they made the drive down to Florida with us. We have since had to say some very tearful goodbyes as they flew back home to Ohio. I love you, Mom and Dad!
