Just wanted to type a quick update about the Harvest Training Center opportunity. We finally got a phone call back today that we will be going to Chicago next weekend! Yes, Sam and I are going alone!!! This is even more exciting because its a week away from us celebrating our 10th anniversary. I am so excited for this opportunity and being able to be away together for 3 days, which is a first for us in about 8 years.
So, my mind is racing in preparing for this trip away. The kids are all being split up to different peoples houses while we are gone so I have to pack all of them separately (except Bryson & Landon). I also am a bit nervous about leaving my baby Hudson for 3 days. It is easy to leave the older ones because they understand that I will be back in 3 days, but Hudson just doesn't. However, I am very confident in his caregiver...no worries there and I trust the Lord to take care of all of them while we are away.
Please pray for Sam as well as he will be traveling to Hickory, NC on Thursday to visit with a Harvest affiliate church there and the pastor. He will spend the day with him and be involved in some staff meetings, etc to get a feel for the ministry there and how things are done. Also, pray for Sam as he has to prepare a 25 minute message to preach to the staff at Harvest while we are up there for "evaluation weekend." I know he would appreciate prayers as he seeks clarity and understanding.
I have to admit this past weekend I was a bit discouraged because they hadn't called yet and I was thinking, "God, is anything EVER going to work out for us." Let me just answer this and say I know that was a dumb thing to say! I was thinking very selfishly for the moment. I have complete peace knowing that God is ultimately in control of everything! If this is His purpose and plan then so be it, but if it isn't I will trust that He knows whats best and has an even better plan than I could ever imagine. Whew....that was hard to type, but so true!
