___________MEANING____________

I've been MEANING to post more. I've been contemplating some LARGE and some small things in life...all of significant significance...I just don't have the words yet to express what I am wrestling/grappling/ learning/ deconstructing/ experiencing....I'm working on it though. All I know is that sometimes God is so big...you can barely see HIM....because we are blinded by our own vision. I've been practicing being quiet...like last week I sat for an hour without moving, reading, writing, looking around...etc....that might have been the longest I've ever been awake and quiet....I want God to know I want to hear His voice. I want Him to know I'm serious....and along with that....I want to show myself I am serious, so when I go to tell the world about this God that speaks, this God that listens, this God that came down and lived among us and then decided to send His Spirit to dwell within us...that I know that, that I experience that, that I live the truth of that on a daily basis. You are all such an inspiration and blessing to our family. Your prayers are coveted...

Back in Germany

Hey Everyone! We are finally back in Herrnhut, after an amazing time back in the states with family, friends, and supporters! We really have been struggling financially for a few months, and so we really took some time to pray into finances, and really seek out more partners for our ministry. God has been answering and we are so excited to see what else He is going to do! We have added new supporters and we are just really excited for this year of ministry!

We arrived in Herrnhut on Tuesday, and on Wednesday we started staff training for the Discipleship Training School that starts in a week! WOW! It's been so busy!!! CRAZY! But it's already been a great three days of training, brainstorming, and praying that God really shakes things up with this DTS. We are really interested in seeing a physical manifestation of the kingdom of God in this school. We want to be challenged, and to disciple our students to live lives worthy of their calling! We all can work on that no matter how long we've been followers of Jesus!

Anyways, back to our time at home! Thank you so much for all of you who support us in prayer, finances, and relationships....you all really are a huge part of our ministry! Our time in Michigan was amazing, it excited us for coming back here and really empowered us in our role in ministry here. We are so STOKED! We love you all and more updates to come!
