I dont know why but I feel like I need to update! God is moving and shaking me quite a bit and I am happy to say that I enjoy the change. I would rather be feeling GOd's hand than not! Tim and Rachel and I are moving things into the 2 bedroom apt today and well i wanted to just jot down some thoughts before the who mess starts to happen! We are praying for the city for the nation and for all people to come to know Christ in the 40 days before Easter and it has been difficult but refreshing! I really like that we were told that even if we were caught up to keep going. It is my personality to just give up when I fail and I was encouraged to pick it up again and well here goes.... Tim and I are still waiting on the lord for children, but we know that God has our best in mind and are comfortable either with or without. Our desire is to contiune to work hard to pay off our school debts and then to prepare to be on the mission field. Tim loved being in Costa Rica and I am hoping to be able to travel to different palces to encourage and support missionaries world wide. My passion for the mission field has not waivered, and Tim is willing to go whereever God takes us! Our plan in the mean time is to go on short term trips when God allows and continue to be streched outside our comfort zone and into the unknow where Jesus is! My parents are sturggling with my dad now nursing a knee injury and workmenscomp not being enough I am feeling the distance between us more and more so! I feel useless and I have reminders from the people who are there that we arent doing enough! I am trying my hardest to support them and help them but I feel like I am being a bad child for not droping everything and attending to their needs. the truth is I can do more by just working my tail off to bring in the money to help them out! My prayer is that they will (inspite of the heat and humidity) move here so that we could be a family agian! I miss game night and family meals where mom makes a feast out of nothing and it has been too many years since I have had that! I would like to have mom here so that we could pamper her and dad here so that sister can help him out diet and physical aliment wise! I know to them it is a big change and scary but to me it is a good option ... i just wish they would come! Sis is getting married in the near future to Rolly! We are excited to be talking wedding but still unsure about all of the details! I love having her here and we recently went on Stay-cation 2010 A. We stayed at an amazing hotel and enjoyed a couple of days just relaxing and playing Skip Bo! We all decided that we would do it again with mom and dad one day!! Fly them down and take them to the hotel which by the way rocked!!!! It was a 2 bedroom suite with full kitchen and washer and dryer!! we felt like we were rich and it fit in our budget!! It is our goal to make Stay-cations an every 3-6 months thing just to get away and spend quality time togehter! Sis is looking for a LPN job now here in florida for when she gets her florida licsense. Ok well that is pretty much up to date! I kinda like this because it gives me something like a diary to look back at in the years to come! All of the bigger events of my life are recorded here and it helps me remember why I am here, to serve God and give to those around me! In Christ Now and Forever Naomi |
