It has been weeks of prayer and weeks of others praying for us as we have sought discernment about when Michael should step away from his job at Target. We felt the Lord calling us to greater commitment to our most important job; missions. Juggling two full-time jobs for Michael has been quite draining, and as you probably well know, something has to give in order to get through your day... and the job that was lacking his attention was missions. So, he put in his notice at Target and will be done working there June 1st. Talk about a giant leap of faith! We know that God will and has provided and that with our focus being solely on the mission of missions, we will see growth in our fund raising and growth in our faith as we trust God with everything and wow, do I mean everything!!
I am so thankful for this place that God has us in right now! I feel this immense peace in a situation that should fill me with immense anxiety... and if you know me well, you know I struggle with worry and anxiety.. so, God is doing His thing in us BIG TIME!
We do ask for your prayers as this giant leap of faith is not easy, we ask that you pray for our continued peace and for our funding to come quickly. We are so excited about the many ministry opportunities that we have this summer! I will let Michael blog about some of those... he's so excited about them! We are grateful beyond words for our faithful supporters, who are providing encouragement, finances and prayer!! Wow, we are so blessed!
