His Timing

It should never surprise us when we walk in obedience to what Father is asking us that He should provide all we need.

This last month no really the past 2 weeks have been crazy in the way of making decisions and seeking the Lord's leading. We totally stepped out in Faith to what we felt was Father's leading and WOW how He has so blessed us. We know it is because it was HIS TIMING for this all to happen.


I'll be taking Justin back to get him settled into college and get his truck and other items for his first semester at college. Kayla will also be attending her Senior Year in Opelika, something she has wanted to do for a long time. And I'll be starting back to school as well to begin working on my nursing degree. :) - We won't be starting our Stateside assignment though until December. I will have to be back in China for some travel and then Thailand for some meetings so that will mean Kayla will be either having some family come up to stay with her or she will be staying with some friends for awhile.

I just wanted to highlight some of the Praises we have had these past 2 weeks. :)

1. We had our yard sale which was going to cover all our moving / shipping for our furniture to get to the states. We knew what we needed to ship them and the Yard sale will cover all but 600.00 dollars of it. THAT WAS HUGE!
* Also a first for us - everything we had in our Yard sale sold by 9am. We opened our gates at 6:45 and I couldn't believe how fast things sold. I have never seen anything like this before! IT WAS A GOD THING!

2. Kayla needed to find a home for Cody Cat as of Friday night there were no takers. We had told her the only other option was to take Cody to the vet and allow them to try to find him a home but that if they couldn't then they would have to put him to sleep. We weren't real excited about that option as you can imagine- we LOVE CODY cat. Well, Kayla made a poster and a special young lady came to see Cody. It was a match made by Father! :) She was obviously a Cat lover and took to cody bites and all.... ( cody was attacked by a big dog last week and had to have stitches... she didn't mind that at all and coddled him even more) So cody has a home as of today :)

3. Everything in our home that we wanted to haul back to the states will be crated back - that means :) we don't lift one finger to pack the stuff ( first ever for us) and we don't have to lift this stuff to put it on a truck. It will arrive in Birmingham somewhere around July 22nd and then we can arrange for them to deliver it for us to Auburn. :) Again, all fully paid - Thanks for the sales we made at the Yard Sale!

4. Thanks to Farmville Baptist Church and their care and hard work , they have found us a nice apartment to live in until another M' house comes available. PTL>.. again, Father used individuals who were obedient to His leading to provide for us.. so thank you all who obeyed what Father was asking you to do! And to Bill and his family for working with us on all the details.

I couldn't start today without saying Thank YOU LORD for all you've done... in our lives. I often feel so inadequate and not worthy of all the CARE you show to our family!

We are truly BLESSED!

Thank you all for your prayers - I know many of you are a faithful to pray for us and our work and we thank you!

I have tons of pictures to post from our Burma run to getting ready for the Yard sale.... :) so come back for those tomorrow! ;) Also we are excited about these next few months as we get to move back into China and be more hands on until our official stateside starts in Dec. :) Father knows how to bless us!


love to you all....
