Hey guy, I just received Erin's comment on our blog so I thought I'd respond. (By the way, this book on Revelation sounds pretty good. I want to get it. Thanks for your review!)
Anyway, yeah...unless the Lord does something miraculous we won't be meeting our goal of leaving this month. We're still hanging out at 71% and not moving much at all. We've been there since October, roughly, and so my flesh wants to be sad.
But, I have to say that God has been very kind to send encouraging things our way to let us know that He has us and He has a plan in which we have to trust...by faith, all by faith.
So, our big concern now is the kids' school year in Lima starts March 3rd or thereabouts. It wouldn't kill us to have them go late. However, we think it'd be best to get them there for their first day to start when everyone starts. But, God knows more than we do about what would best for all of us.
I'm battling. We're battling. But, God is with us. We do know that.
Thanks for your prayers. You guys have been a source of God's encouragement to us. I hope you know that.
