OOPS!

Somehow, our last blog got erased, deleted, or someway has disappeared!!!  It's good to know that information is floating around in cyberspace, and can dissolve in the abyss of networking!

So as not to overstate what we previously stated, for those who read the "lost post"',I'll make it short.

Our son Nate, is deploying to Afghanistan sometime in the next couple weeks. We just came back from visiting him. Our other son, Jonny, is headed down to L.A. to attend Azusa Pacific University. That makes us official "empty nesters.!" So now, we get to stare at each other all day long, and have no one to blame for the mess!!!

Things are moving towards getting our cards, flyers, etc printed. Bruce has been working on his computer, designing graphics, and having a good time at it! He's also looking for work, as we still need provision this side of missionary work. 

I'll be doing some upcoming  conferences; in WI, N. Cal, and WA. God is good to continue to use us in ministry here while we wait.

With all  the political turmoil going on, it's good to know that our lives are in the complete control of God's capable hands. We can rest in His presence, knowing that He is always near us.

I am forever thankful for His promises in our lives.

Our Aug 22nd info night has been postponed for a later date. We'll update you on that one!!

Keep on pressing in to the One who loves you most!!!!

Care Team

This is the first post to this wonderful technology!!! We decided to start blogging our missionary

transition. What a wonderful adventure!

Tonight we had our first care team meeting. Thanks to those wonderful supporters who offered to stand with us in prayer and many other ways to lift our hands!

God is blessing us with friends who are so encouraging. So many words of affirmation and comfort seem to follow us. It's wonderful that God brings our fragile hearts into His care.

We're now a part of Saving Grace World Missions. They will be our logistics support team.

On their web site (sgwm.com) you can click on missionaries, and find us there. They've developed a web site where you can see our testimony, photos, and get updates, donate, and check out what's happening around the world.

I wanted to announce that on Aug 22nd, at 7 pm, we'll be having an evening of worship, dessert, and sharing with power pt presentation, what we'll be doing, pics of siegen, and the bible college where we'll be, etc.  A hearty invite to everyone to come out, fellowship, ask questions, worship, and of course, chow down the goodies.

It will be at Calvary Chapel Monterey Bay, fireside room. 

On a different note, I want to say how wonderful it is to find ways to thank God during the day. It's like a scavenger hunt, looking for ways to see His hand throughout the day. Ways of protections, provision, little blessings that He loves to give us~ Rather than complaining and being down about how awful life seems, it's great to look at all the ways He's doing wonderful things.  And to experience His presence in the NOW. Not tomorrow, or later, but right this moment. As we call out to Him, He is there, or should I say He is here!!!

 I thank God for all you friends and loved ones. You are special to our hearts and lives. You are valuable and needed.  We wouldn't be doing anything without you.
