updates

Hello to everyone! I know I always say thank you for your prayers but I really mean it. It is so awesome to know that we are supported by you all at home. Thank you for allowing God to use you all in prayer support. Now for some updates... well, I didn't get the job which stinks. If you would have asked me two days ago how I felt you would have seen that my world was crumbling and my faith was waivering, but praise the Lord he has given me new strength. I was able to go to chapel at the school with Robert yesterday and they had a time of prayer and intersession for those who felt under attack by the enemy, which was me from a few angles. So a bunch of students gathered around and prayed. There was one man who was praying for me and he then started speaking to me and how he felt God was taking me to a new level spiritually. Then he compared it to altitude and how when mountain climbers go higher the air is thinner. It made so much sense to me. The air is getting thinner, because God is taking me higher, the enemy attacks us because he knows God has much in store for us. All the prayers of those students and leaders helped so much. God renewed me with a strength and trust in him for the best job even still...so I have been applying to different cafes and what not. We will let you know.


For some unfortunate news...Robert's dad passed away this afternoon (your time). For those of you who may not be aware he was suffering from lung cancer for about a year now. It's been hard on Robert's mom and brother especially as they were caring for him. We aren't sure of his salvation and I know that is what has been harder for Robert as well. I know God is watching over all who loved him, especially his family so we will trust in the Lord for comfort. I know Robert wouldn't insist on it, but I know he wants to be there with his family. If you would just pray for the finances to be able to send him home, if that's what the Lord would have we would be so grateful. I know it is not a need...like he doesn't HAVE to be there. But I know I would HAVE to be there if it were one of my parents. I know if it is His will God will make a way. Please pray and trust in the Father with us.

Sorry we don't have much good news... but there is some. I was able to help out with the creative team for wildlife which is the high school ministry. On the creative team we do the stage design for each series or season. I was so happy to get involved in it. We were working on the props last night, and they are going to look great. I will take some pictures and post them up next time. Robert is enjoying singing in the choir once a week or so...he is singing this morning for sisterhood, which is the women's ministry.

I know God is stretching us here...it has been hard, but we will press on toward the goal as Paul says. Thanks again we love you all so much!- April
