It has been a solid two months since our (re)introductory blog post, announcing we'd work for food and asking for prayers and opportunities in our time of need.
Thought two months was a nice, awkward pause before filling you in on our news. Things have turned out wonderfully for us! God has really blessed us and we are cozily settled in for a long winter's night in a 3 bedroom apartment in New Castle, CO. Andy has supported ministry work at the local homeless shelter, as well as part time photography work each week. We have remained "local" and so did not have to give up our lovely fellowship times and relationships in the area. We really feel contented, covered and cared for...
As for Uganda, it seems best to everyone that a later trip be made- perhaps June 2011? In the meantime, we are enjoying a visit from my brother and his family from Japan, considering learning Indonesian (in an effort to keep involved with our friends and any work the Lord may open up there for us in the future), and just generally delighting in the Lord and the life He gives us each day.
Thank you to all who prayed and supported us during this transition. I suppose, although we have settled into some sort of a routine finally, we are still to be "on our toes" and not to get lazy in our new, comfortable position. May we and all who desire to follow God keep listening ears, perceptive hearts and open eyes to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying and doing.
Love to each and every one of you,
