God's calling


The other night while at the dinner table Allison asked why we are going to Jamaica. Erin told her that it was because Mom and Dad liked it there and wanted to go. I had to step in and explain the true reason we are going. I was able to share with them how in Matthew 16 Jesus said "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." That God can speak to us many different ways and also confirms that through the Bible. I then realized that as we have been sharing our ministry vision with others, I haven't focused on sharing with our younger children and making sure they understand why we are going to Jamaica.
As we still prepare we are hearing progress on our work permit. The past few weeks we have heard that the paperwork is in progress but not ready, and we will have to call back in a few days. As frustrating as this is for us we know that this is God's call and we have to be obedient and wait for Him to provide.
