We had a contract on our house - but, it has become clear that God had a different plan :). So, that plan has taken a detour...For the present and near future, we'll be renting the house to two friends. Please pray with us that when we return from our trip that we'll have clearer direction on whether to continue renting or putt it back on the market.....we are not disappointed but we are curious to find out where this is leading....hmmm?
Last night we had our family Christmas party for those family members that live in the Atlanta metro area - what a great time we had of - too much! - food, fellowship and laughter. The grandchildren that were able to come - ranging in age from 3 1/2 to 19 - were a delight and kept us laughing most of the night. We love our family, are grateful that we get to spend quality time with those that are close by and miss like crazy those that we don't see so often...
Our next adventure will take us to Colorado - by way of Kansas City - for our final phase of US based training! We'll be leaving Georgia a couple days after Christmas and headed to Kansas City and the One Thing Conference hosted by the International House of Prayer. We are so looking forward to a time of getting away with the Lord - time spent at the conference and then time spent in the prayer room afterward - before heading to 5 weeks of training. We'll be staying at the home of a friend and hoping for a little down time with them as well before we head out to Colorado Springs.
We've heard wonderful reports about MTI in Colorado and are looking forward to our time there. However, it will be C O L D! LOL - Ellen is a Georgia girl and has never really experienced the harsh winters of the north so it will be a challenge for her for sure! Dave grew up and spent most of his adult life in Vermont so it will be a somewhat familiar situation for him (even though he's not lived in that cold climate for 17+ years).
We are (always) praying for God's will to be done in our lives. We are hoping that means that shortly after returning from MTI we'll be packing for Ghana.
Praises!
God is faithful. God is good. Even (especially) in the midst of trying times God is faithful. God is good. We are thankful for our faithful and good God that leads us in the path of righteousness for His namesake. Trusting that He has a plan - and it is for our good - as we continue to take steps in the direction of Ghana full time..... We are looking forward to quality time spent with family and friends as we make this journey! Some family members that I (Ellen) haven't seen in 45+ years! Others that we haven't seen since our wedding almost 3 years ago....
Prayers!
Traveling mercies - we'll be driving 3,000+ miles in the next 7-8 weeks - we're asking for extreme provision that will keep traveling expenses to a minimum - we are also hoping to participate in a couple of friend dinners (fundraisers) on the way back to Georgia from Colorado - please pray with us for God's perfect provision.
We love you guys and are very grateful for your prayers and support!
