So many blessings....

I am amazed at the abundance of blessings in my life right now!  God has given my family this incredible opportunity to go live in another country to serve him and others there.... but in the process of moving soon, I have been reminded daily that we are not alone in this calling!  I promise you that it would be so much harder to do what we are going to do this January if it wasn't for all the people in our lives that have encouraged, prayed, challenged, spoken words of truth and correction, and just have been there with us through the years!  I am so thankful for everyone in our lives.  Our friends, family, kids, teachers, and pastors.  Thank You for all you have done in our lives and you are just as much a part of  what we are doing as we are..... Thank You! 

As we shared our story at church this past Sunday, I was so blessed and encouraged by the response!  There are times when I wonder what people think of what we are doing, but then when I have heard such encouraging words from strangers, new friends, old friends, and family I know we are supported and not too crazy!  We have no doubt that we are supposed to be in Guatemala for a while, so it is great to know that people have a better understanding of why we are going.  One last thing to leave you with that I felt was important to share on Sunday too- Don't forget what God has asked you to do or be a part of.... He has dreams for you to live out, whether here in Canada, or in another place.... He wants you to be His vessel and to love others as He does!  So look to Him again and ask God to show you what you can do and you will forever be changed.... Love you all!
