Our Life: Busy, but exciting!

We are in constant amazement when we think about Gods plans. They never seem to quite match up to our expectaions...they exceed them.

Christ has called us to the mission field. Our first stop, Paris. We are taking His heart to Europe along with an amazing team that has already started His work there. We are going to help plant a church, which is already in its begining stages. You can check out the church on www.thebridgeparis.com and see all the wonderful things Christ has in store.

We received the wonderful news of "officially" being a missionary family on January 12, 2011! Everything is set for us to start raising our funds and setting out into unfamiliar territory. I say unfamilliar, but when I think about Paris, the church, and the people there, I feel homesick. Like I HAVE been there before and so desperately need to go back. Very hard to explain, but these are my feelings none the less.

As if the excitement of our national approval from the Assembly of God Mission's Board isn't enough...WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!!!

This came as quite a shock to us all, but we are exstatic! We thought we were done...exactly what I was saying about God exceeding our expectations. We cannot wait to meet this new little creation. This masterpiece. We know this baby has an amazing destiny planned out by our loving Father. We will keep you updated on the progress of this little one.

As for the boys...Joel is 9, Nate is 7, Chris is 5, and Judah is 3. They are doing great. We will keep you updated on them as well.

I hope everyone is having an amazing day. May Christ richly bless you all!
