We have a new friend!!!!!!!!!!! We would like you to meet Matthew our buddy…An incredible 2 year old that God is using to minister to us. Faith is not something that we can fully understand but something that happens after you have believed. It is like traveling through time and then getting there….Where??????????? Exactly!! Where??? Wherever the Lord wants to direct our obedience while we don’t fully understand. This is Matthew, who in his young age and innocence, not fully understanding what he does, yields to the Holy Spirit to do things that are unthinkable for a child his age. This precious little boy prays for us by name (Mr Geiner and Miss Denise) and knows that our mission in life is to tell people about Jesus. Also, by his own choice, he decided to donate from his “life savings” to support the ministry in Costa Rica. You see Matthew’s mom was talking about us going to Costa Rica when we had the money to do so, and he said that he had money and wanted to share with us. His mom simply gave him his piggy bank and an envelope and told him that he could choose how much to give....he busily filled it up! .This child brought tears to our eyes and gave us a new prospective on faith. See faith and time go hand in hand and even though we didn’t totally understand it, now we look back and see how much He wants to give us His best… if we only let Him sometimes, and stop swimming against the flow of the will of God!!! Then we would discover the abundance of what He is offering.
For those who know us and have seen the struggles that we have experienced in the last couple months…you know our desire to be “there” ASAP! Yet, if we had left the 30th of June like WE had planned, we wouldn’t be in the position that we are today, with a furnished house and transportation waiting for us. We also would have missed the blessing that Matthew has brought to our lives and hopefully yours. We love you, Matthew, and we thank God for you!!!
In other news...we got the house. Yes we did rent it as of the 15th of this month. All we have to bring is clothes and books. God is abundantly good!!

We are one step closer!!!!!!!!! Even though the house hasn’t sold yet, we truly believe that we are very close… there is someone interested and is trying to be approved, so lets keep our hands together, our eyes closed and our faces scrunched.

What is next? Well we are actually packing books and some clothes, the rest is being sold or given away.
What is God teaching us? We are the work of His grace, what else can we ask for??…going to Costa Rica is about Him, and His care for us is our good. It is refreshing, and it provides for certainty in what we cannot see.
