out of control!

We have "graduated" our "Sharpening Your Interpersonal Skills" class and are now moving on to 2 weeks of "Cross Training", where we will be able to work on more specific cultural issues. We are in Columbus for the weekend to celebrate Father's Day with Stacey's dad, and also brought home a new friend from training. He is South African, and is the OMS director there. He's sharing a lovely wealth of stories, memories and testimonies with all of us...what a blessing, especially as we prepare to begin full-time ministry.

In class the other day, we did a "stress" evaluation, and realized through this test just how faithful the Lord has been. So many details that were causing high levels of stress in our lives 6 months ago (how are we ever going to be fully funded? when are we finally going to begin work in Haiti? where else could we speak?) have all been replaced with His perfect provision in His perfect time. We know there will be many more uncertainties in the future and many more stresses, but we are glad to be in His comlete control!
