In the past three weeks it has been a huge blessing to have both of our sets of parents visit us here in the big D! It's been great to have help with our new born from Beckys mother and it was fun to do some manly stuff (Pistol shooting, Cabela's trip etc...) with my Father-in-law and my Dad! Thanks for taking time off of work and traveling great distances to see us. We miss you all more than you know. We are glad to be exactly where the Lord wants us to be, but that doesn't mean that it's the easiest option. As Jesus said "I tell you the truth... no one has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, will fail to receive many times as much in this age and in the age to come, eternal life." Luke 18:29&30 We knew this verse and believed it to be true before our transition into full time ministry, but we didn't realize how difficult it would be to minister hundreds of miles away from family. The Lord blesses as Jesus said in Luke, however that doesn't mean we don't need your prayers, phone calls, texts, emails and letters of encouragement and catching up, because we need them and at times despartely so.
