House Hunting

We got into Seattle about 6:oo pm this evening and we are now at our good friends the Ross Clan. After 6 hours in the air we are tired and yet anxious for tomorrow. We meet with our realtor in the morning. Mark is taking us around the city and showing us neighborhoods. There is also another contact who is interested in renting to us.
We will be job searching as well. We covet your prayers this week that God will lead us to the right area and provide jobs as well.
This evening as we drove over the hill and saw Seattle before us the reality began to sink in. It was almost a little overwhelming, but as drove into the city I prayed for God to give us a harvest. I felt a peace that God is at work in MY city.
We will keep you posted as things unfold.

Our Last Revival

This week is our last revival as Evangelists. We are in Houma, La with our good friends Chad and Amy Ducote and their new baby Gracie. We had a wonderful service on Sunday and we are looking forward to another one tonight.
Today as I write this post I am filled with a bitter sweetness. The past eight years have been some of the hardest and greatest of my life. Evangelizing has not been an easy life, but it has been so rewarding. There were times when we lived on rolls of change we had been given by Joel's grandparents. Another time we went to buy groceries and had absolutely no money. But out of those times came a deep trust in God. During those times God would require us to lean on him and he always came through. Through whatever hard ache we endured God always made up the difference. It wasn't always monetarily though. We had great miracles happen. We saw blind eyes open, deaf ears unstopped, pain leave bodies instantly, healings from dieseases, deliverance from drugs, acohol,ciggaretts, depression and many miracles we don't even know about. I could never put a price on the worth of seeing a new soul recieve the Holy Ghost. God has been so good to us. I will cherish these last eight years forever.
Next week we embark on a new journey. Joel and I fly out on Tuesday to put a deposit on a home and possibly go to job interviews. We covet your prayers so much. We absolutely want God to lead us as we go. We want God to send us to the right house, the right location, the right jobs. I feel so inadiquate when I think of the job before, but this I know God will not send me where he will not equipe me. Just today Joel, said I can't wait to get to Seattle. That has been the way we have felt for months and now the time has come. We are planning the move for the last week of Feburary. Please keep us in your prayers. We love you all and thank you for your love and support.

I Did It

I did it, I'm officially a Certified Nursing Assistant!!! I took my final examination and passed!!! I have to say it was worth the hard work. I feel good about myself for achieving this goal. Now I can begin applying for a job in Seattle.
We our planning our move for the second week of February if all goes well. We are busy looking for jobs and a home to rent. Say a prayer that God will open all the right doors. I am so excited to see what he has in store for us.
