It's been over a month since my last post. Whoops! Things have definitely been happening, though! We moved in to our new place for which we are very thankful. Justin started his job with PCHS, Peninsula Community Health Services, and though it's tiring, long days working with challenging kids, he is enjoying it. I (Lynsey) started a job at Kenai Landing, a fishing resort and boat launch, as a front desk clerk. While this will meet our income needs right now, it is pretty difficult to find time as a couple and as a family because one of us is working every day of the week and we only have a couple of hours together each day.
We've been enjoying a Kenai summer and the ocean sunshine and warm temperatures that comes with it. We have really enjoyed playing in our church's coed softball league, and last week we got our first win! (Let's hope it's not our only! ;) Evie and Norah love softball nights too because it means that they get to play with their aunties and uncles, who are great babysitters, either at the fields or at Grammie's house.
Our support base is continuing to grow bit by bit. We've had several new people join our support team in the last month and it is so encouraging to see God's faithfulness.
We've officially planned a trip to the lower 48 for this fall, to visit family and raise support. We have presentations scheduled at a different church for each of the 4 Sundays that we're outside, and will be visiting 3 different states, so it's going to be a busy trip! We are also really looking forward to seeing family in Pennsylvania that have never met our girls.
We had a glorious week of sunshine and high temps this past week. Now the rain has finally returned, but I must say I'm a little bit grateful, because the house (and blog, and other things) have been neglected while we've been outside playing!
We've been keeping up with how the summer at Victory is going. Four of my siblings are there this week at a couple of different camps. Please be praying with us for Victory, and the powerful ways God is changing kids' and staff's lives there this summer!!
God has been so good to us...this continues to be our theme and personal reminder when we feel that we're in over our heads with this life change of starting camp ministry full-time.
Ways you can be praying for us right now:
-A praise: we were able to sell our truck, which we needed to do!
-That God leads people & churches to join in supporting us monthly
-That we remember that our work and ministry isn't beginning, we're already in the middle of it!
-That we are able to find time to spend as a family this summer
-For Victory: that God gives health, energy, and spiritual strength to the staff. For the kids, that they have their eyes opened to the good news of Christ's love, and receive it willingly.
As always, thank you for your prayers. God works in us through prayer for others. He listens as we lift others up to Him!
