Wow so much to write...

K I know it has been too long again...

We are doing really, really good. Having our own apt now is just great and we are settling in well. It has been quite the process. When we moved in it was really funny, we tried to move our house into an apartment. Just so you know that doesn't work! We only had about 4 in of floor left and the rest was boxes. Slowly but surely we are getting unpacked. Most of it is done; it took a week to unpack. We are getting stuff on our walls and it feels more like home now. I love it.

In the midst of our unpacking we have had some miracles too. Before we left Phoenix we gave away our couch. It had been given to us, someone really needed one, & we knew that God would provide another one for us. We sold our fridge and it gave us little money to work with. We looked on Craigslist and some of what we found should be burned not sold. So we continued to pray. We really wanted a leather one but didn't know if that would be possible on a small budget. But God is forever faithful, right. We found one and the couple offered it to us for $275. It was black and really nice with a 2 year warranty still, so it was good. But on the way home from seeing it, Mark said he would really like a brown one so we just kept looking. Then our friend Gioia, found a couch online. It was at the Teen Challenge Thrift store. So she emailed them and asked them to hold it. When we looked at the photo we loved it, but it seemed way to good to be true... you know how that is. The next day we went to look at it. To say it was perfect is an understatement. It is in pristine condition and here is the faithfulness of God. It was $189. What? Yep we are so blessed, it is beautiful! God is soooo good. I am always amazed. He blesses us all the time and I never stopped being incredibly amazed at Him.




We are connecting with people all the time too. I am so excited to see what God will do. Sometimes it doesn't seem real, although I know it is. Time will bring many more good relationships and birth what God has planned.

This last Sunday, I was really challenged with a message at church. The speaker talked about the importance of prayer if we want to see revival and salvation happen. How true. We need to pray, to seek the LORD for our cities. I am praying that God will make me so passionate and hungry for prayer. To intercede for our cities and nation. P.U.S.H.- pray until something happens! God wants to breathe life into our world. We are all He has. God help us be all that You have created us to be!

Yesterday was Mark's Birthday and we went to Multnomah falls. I am without words to describe what I experienced there. It was amazing. I could have stood there all day watching what God has created.




Please continue to pray for us. As we are starting...
