Growing for His Glory: Really? No! Really?

Really? No! Really?

I just went to bed and can not sleep.
As my head hit the pillow, my eyes opened and my brain spun.
Could this really be?

Chris and I have been praying SO MUCH lately for vision. For a word. For wisdom.
We both are convinced completely that we want to spend the rest of our lives serving the orphan but have no idea what that would look like. Right? I mean, who knows.

God knows.

tonight I think a sliver of that vision was reviled.

Could it really be? Am I dreaming or what!

Lord, are you calling us to GO?

Oh. My. Goodness.
I know we serve a huge God. I know we serve a mighty God but really? GO?

Chris and I have been praying.

We are going away next week to the EXPECT conference. Yes, we are EXPECTing the Lord to speak and I think He may already be whispering. I believe the Lord could be moving on our hearts.

Sweet orphans, wither we bring you home to America, or we bring you home to "our home" in Africa, I DO KNOW WE ARE COMING FOR YOU.

oh.my.goodness.

Not much more to say now. I'm pretty much speechless at the mighty work of our Lord.

God is huge and HE IS MOVING.

BIG TIME!

Today our family is on a mission. However, our story began back in 2003. We were married, blessed with 3 beautiful children and the world’s best loving little Shiz-Tu of a man-dog! (We really love him. Probably too much. But that is not what this blog is about!) My husbands name is Chris but my kids and I call him ‘Papa’! We have been married for over 8 years. We have seen some amazing mountain tops in our marriage and we have also swam in the depths of the oceans floor. We know that God is alive, working and ALL POWERFUL. We are living proof! Our children are amazing. They REALLY do make us laugh. So many times we just look at each other and shake our heads because they are so cute and unpredictable. They force us to learn humility, mercy and grace constantly and we fail daily. It’s actually very sobering. We are completely broken people. Sinners in need of grace, forgiveness and mercy like you need air and water. We give our brokenness to Jesus. We turn in all our failures and sinful ways in hopes that Jesus will use these vessels (our lives, our bodies) for His ultimate and complete Glory and unto His Kingdom. What is this blog about? It’s about Jesus and Orphans! As you will read, we are now on a mission. To love the orphan! To serve HIS children and help provide for any urgent needs we encounter. We originally were praying about adoption. However, we are now praying that the Lord would just SEND US, if that is His plan. We have started a ministry called, "Bread For Life" and we bake and sell bread to help raise money for children in need. It began in December of 2011, we have raised almost $20,000! This little ministry is being turned into a non-profit and we are seeking the Lord for what He has in store for us next. If you can get past all the misspelled words, run on sentences and confusing grammar than sit back and be encouraged! God is on the move in our hearts and we are thrilled! We invite you to laugh, cry, pray, rejoice and hope that Christ be glorified through our lives. There is a war to fight and we are headed to battle! This is our mission, Our Story. (To start at the beginning of our blog, click here. The first few post tells the story how all this gave birth. Happy Blog-Reading!)
