Spring?

I thought it was spring until I woke up early Saturday am (230) by a call from our ER about a multiple victim trauma....as I jogged over I could not help but notice....SNOW!!! I actually like snow except we were supposed to go that day to Lewistown to speak at church there. I got back home at 63o and slept for a while then I woke to 4 in and, more importantly, blowing snow. I took a look at the Montana road report and found that to be the case until about 30mi out of Lewistown.
I checked back an hour later to find out emergency travel only in that area. Pastor Diehl fortunately was gracious enough to switch us to next Sunday.

This came after a week where I asked God "Show me where You need t work in my life". I already (and Anna more so) an idea of some areas but then God was a bit to faithful to show me some other things.

Therefore I continue to wait on God.

Please pray for our speaking engagement this weekend in Lewistown.
Please pray that Anna and I would have and would take opportunities to live and speak the Gospel
Please pray for Joe and Becky and Harvey who are currently ministering in the Republic of Congo.

Take a moment to check out michaelcard.com He has been a favorite author/musician of mine. I heartily recommend taking time to listen to his radio show.

Thanks for your faithfulness.

It all happened so fast!

A snail was robbed by two turtles and the police come to take his statement. They ask him "Sir, can you tell us what happened?" The snail replied stammering....."I don't know officer....It all happened so fast!"

Some things that are happening "fast" for us.
#1. We finally received a completed homestudy from our local DFS worker so we can proceed further with the adoption. The next steps are for us to send it to the attorney and she sends it to the last known address of the birth mother. If it is a correct address then, she either signs off on the adoption or makes trouble. If it is not then we publish in the local paper of her last known address...and we wait.

#2. Anna is homeschooling Ian......If you know Ian the prayer items are obvious there.

#3. Speaking opportunities......There are just not a lot of them within the Alliance currently and I am having trouble lining up some dates. We are speaking in Lewistown at the end of March.

#4 Upcoming things with us are......we are reapplying for entrance into Canada soon, we are actively seeking speaking engagements, and are looking to seek some of our responsibilities in service here to others.

Thanks again for praying for us....
