A very Brief Update of our Chicago Trip…..

So, I’,ve been meaning to write a post for the last week, but time has gotten away from me, and now, here I am, a week later, and I’m making myself write. First of all, thank you so much, everyone who prayed for us while we were gone. In general, the trip went great.

 We were away from the kids for the entire day, except for meals. I thought that was going to be hard on the kids at first, but after the first day, Silas was already asking to go home with his class teacher after dinner. We got to stay in dorm rooms, which the kids absolutely loved. The three older kids were in a room together, and Jeremiah and I and Owen shared a room. The twin beds were soooo romantic Olivia and Eden each made some special friends and some great memories, and Olivia has already e-mailed back and forth with her friends a few times.

       

There is so much detail that I could go into about our trip, but I’m afraid you would stop reading due to the length of the post, so I’ll just say this. We walked away feeling so refreshed and excited about the next phase in our lives. We learned a lot of practical things we need to know for our next phase of raising a support team.  But most of all, our mind set has changed from being overwhelmed and a little fearful of sharing His vision and asking for support, to excitement. Excitement about how He will change our lives in the process. And who knows the opportunities we will have to speak into other peoples lives and give them the opportunity to be a part of the vision He has called us too. And maybe along the way, you might be moved to come and join us, or begin your own journey to bring His message to the lost.
