April fools

• Yes, we are fools for the Lord!  so many people ask if we know that we are in a down economy!  Of course I know that!  We are in it right along with everyone else.  I haven't worked regularly for over 2 years but God has met our NEEDS!  What I want to know is, "Do you know my Lord?"  If we are indeed called, then He will fund His mission.  He knows who we need to talk to, all we have to do is be  obedient. 
• April Fools day found me taking some collecitbles down to O'gallerie for sale. I couldn't believe everything that was considered a "Collectible" that didn't sell in our garage sale. I had lunch with a friend and then coffee with a long time friend who has been a missionary in Spain for the last 30 or so years. They are retiring and home for the duration 'til Jesus comes. They will be volunteering at the church where we met them. She had some great tips for us on overseas travel!
• As I sit here praying and planning today I am awed at how quickly our leave time is approaching. I am scheduling our trip to San Diego to raise support, visit our children and newest grandchild, visit my parents in Yuma, AZ. Every Saturday in April is now filled, and then May is when Miles is scheduled for his 8 week training in Nampa Idaho. That wil encompass all of May and June. He will have to come back from time to time for various events like our Banquet / Auction scheduled on June 11th.
• As long as I keep my eyes on the task of one bite at a time I do well eating this HUGE elephant of preparing to serve Him. Everytime I look at the entire task I get overwhelmed and want to just shut down. We are only responsible for what God puts on our plate each day. The rest gets "eaten" in His time! He has been faithful so far and I know He will continue to be! Praise His name! We cannot do this, only through His strength!
• I am also awed by our God and how much He has provided for us in the 9 weeks since our first newsletter went out. He has provided 60% of our total outgoing funds. We have an awesome prayer team, but could always use more of both. :)
•  God bless you all this week as you keep your eyes on Him and are busy about His business.
