"Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking reverently and the door will be opened to you".

Matthew 7:7

Reflecting today on how God brought us in the direction of Macedonia. The precision of His timing, the value in His way and purpose... all of which brought us to this place of circumstancial uncertainty or what goes by another name ADVENTURE. God has really given our family this amazing expereince to enjoy and savor together over the next two years. The reason I am in a place of reflection is largely because John and I are at our Campus Crusade "stint" training this week in St. Charles, IL @ the Phesant Run Resort and Golf Course (John is finding himself drawn to the beautifully manicured greens but has not yet gotten to swing a club - patience I tell him... you'll get your chance). Much like I am telling John to be patient God told us to be patient when our plans for Bulgaria went out the door. We knew our desire was to serve Him overseas but we were confused. We questioned how He was working, we wanted to create our own plan, our own ministry and in fact none of our plans came to fruition. So in this reflection I am thankful for God's plan because low and behold it is perfect - who would have known (haha)! We are gonna be blessed with such a ministry... but before we load the plane on August 22nd we need to do a bazillion things which I trust God has already taken into His care. Excited that out next post will be from Strumica, Macedonia.

BTW - we sold our van yesterday so that is exciting news and we were able to get Brady's passport renewed yesterday as well. He turns 5 on September 13th and well it would have been an issue getting over the pond if they noticed his passport was less than 6 months from expiration. Ok well that is all I got my peeps. Later
