A Single Day

Over the last few weeks the Lord has continued to blow us away by the way He has provided and paved the way for us to move to Guatemala in just 6 weeks. Yes just 6 weeks!! I cannot believe it is only 6 weeks away. Here are a few of the things Jesus has been up to in our lives.

We got word that they began building the home that we will be living in long term. We were also able to confirm our short term housing as well. This will be a big blessing because it is fully furnished so we won't have to worry about buying all of our stuff right when we get there.

We found out last week that in April we had several large gifts given towards our one time expenses. One of our friends from another state had a yard sale with their small group and sent us all the proceeds. It was the largest sale they have ever had! We also had our own sale a few weeks back and raised almost $2,000! Crazy! Who makes 2k on a yard sale???

My mom also put together a concert to benefit our move to Guatemala. It was awesome! My Stepfather and his family put on the concert. We raised nearly $1200 at that event.

It has been one thing after another! It seems like everyday we find about another way the Lord has provided. Our God is so Awesome! The Lord keeps reminding me of this verse in Psalm 84:10 that says “A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.” A single day in God's presence living the life God has called us to live is better than anything else.

God has clearly called us to go to Guatemala and we have experienced in this calling and journey that even in the difficult days and times it is much better then anywhere else and or anything else we could be doing.

Thank you so much for everyone who has been praying and supporting us! We are so honored that so many people have chosen to come along side us and partner with us in this journey.
