First Week as Youth Minister

What a week! Hans started full time on Monday and he has been busy plotting out the school year. We are anxious! Hans is doing a great job... you can tell that God has molded him for this. God is using him soooo much already. It is exciting for me to hear about his day and who he met. We are able to spend breakfast together. We have never been able to do that since we've been married considering he has always had a job that requires him to be at work before 7:30 am. It has been so nice to have breakfast as a family and Abe really enjoys it. Maybe we can get into a routine where I can actually get a shower with someone supervising the kids :o)

The other news is that we received an offer on the house in Indy. A decent offer, I should say. One that we are going to accept. Please continue to pray that all the kinks get worked out. God is so good to us. How could I have forgotten. I am sad to say that I did forget about how God moves and works and is faithful. I don't ever want to have to be reminded of his faithfulness again... I just always want to remember!

If you want to pray some specifics for us here you go: 1) God would raise up volunteers for us 2) Hans and his school work- that he would be able to get things done, spend time with us and focus on ministry. 3) That we would continue to have faith and be humbled before God because, afterall, He does get all the credit. 4) God would work out all the financials concerning our house in Indy. 5) We can devote time to "trian up" our own kids appropriately without "exhasperating" them. 6) That we can be pleasing to God (aka have Faith Hebrews 11:6)

I want to close with this:

The Commission to Faith

Lord, today I accept my calling

not to perfection or performance.

My calling is to faith.

I have been chosen for this generation.

I have a place in the heritage of faith.

I'm going to stop wishing and whining

and start beleiving and receiving.

What your word says is mine.

I won't let others steal my hope.

I won't argue with a Pharisee.

I will believe and therefore speak,

for You, my God, are huge.

Nothing is too hard for You.

Our world needs your wonders.

Rise up, oh Lord!

Please renew Your works in our day.

I confess the unbelief of my generation

and aske you to begin you revival of faith

in my own heart.

For You are who You say You are.

You can do what You sat You can do.

I am who You say I am.

I can do all things through Christ.

Your Word is alive and active in me.

Satan, here me clearly:

My Father is Maker of heaven and earth.

You are under my feet,

because today and the rest of my days,

I'M BELIEVING GOD!!!!
