How was your Thanksgiving? Our was great! My family was partially out of town for hockey games, so we had our own little Thanksgiving with my remaining siblings, my brother and his wife, and our sweet friend Lindy. Thanksgiving break for us included a Thanksgiving morning football-in-the-snow game for Justin, skyping with Justin's parents Steve and Brenda, a hockey game for me, a youth group event of Mission Impossible which was super fun, and a couple of long naps for Justin which I think were much needed! :)
We met with our Pastor, Phil Reemtsma, on Saturday, and talked about our support raising timeframe, and brainstormed some ideas. We also printed our support letter, which is also our thank-you for the summer (I know. So late... so bad.) only to have Evie get ahold of it and draw her own "letter" on the master copy. So that will need to be re-printed and copied to mail out. Simple things, it seems like, but they seem to take monumental effort these days!
Norah took her first steps yesterday! She has been drawing up her courage, I think, over the last couple of weeks. Yesterday she started striking out on her own and she is now attempting little trips all over the house. They usually only last 3 or 4 steps but she's getting there! If you're a parent you know that this is pretty exciting stuff!
Here are some ways you could pray for our family right now:
-For us to know the right churches and people to contact about joining our support base; overall discernment and wisdom, as we truthfully don't always know what we're doing!
-Peace about the future (this one comes from Lynsey) :)
-That even though we've got several areas of work & ministry right now, we could give 100% to them all
There is a baby I used to babysit and I'm trying to get him to take his first steps with me instead of his parents :D
