Today is a busy day! Happy Birthday, Laura! Our sister-in-law turns 24 today...wish we could be there to celebrate you, Laura, but we are so blessed to have you in our lives!
Good-bye, Bexley! Bex, (pictured top row, far left) Stacey's best friend and college room-mate, leaves for her first 3 year missionary term in Africa today. God's sense of irony is displayed here, as that both girls met on the first day of college in 2001, pursued the Lord's call on their individual lives, and leave for full-time foreign missionary service exactly one week apart!
Also, Elisa and Maria (pictured front row) are visiting us in Columbus until tomorrow! It is great to be with them and to be able to catch up before we all head off in the many directions that He's leading us.
Finally, Lisa, Stacey's sister (pictured top row, next to Stacey) is returning from Namibia to the US today, and to Ohio tomorrow. This has been such a life-changing summer for her, and we CANNOT WAIT to have her home and have a few days to spend with her before we leave on Monday!
As you can tell, the Lord is continuing to provide for all of our needs...."only be strong and courageous."
Hey Stace,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading Judges lately and makinga study on the life of Deborah. Talk about fearless. How greatful I am to watch you and Matt step out fearlessly in faith. Prayers for both of you... and Lisa as she travels. Abby
