God is on the move

Our God is SO big. He moves in bold ways that continue to amaze me and confound me. I never expected Him to make such a huge presence right before I left for Africa, but He did. He has been teaching me to love Him more deeply by following His leading in most unexpected ways.

I felt a clear and convincing calling a few days ago to sell our large, beautiful house and downsize. This would allow me to be debt free with more freedom with God's money to advance His Kingdom. So we now have a For Sale sign in our yard. I am excited to follow His direction and go deeper with my Lord and Savior.

In addition, my youngest son, Zach, has made the decision to attend a private Christian school for his high school education. I am thrilled at his desire to integrate biblical principles with his schooling. Two days ago, he submitted his application and was accepted to Covenant Christian School. He is now more excited than ever about school. This fits perfectly together with God's direction for our lives...a better use of His money than tying it up in an excessively large home.

These 2 major decisions culminated in the past few days right before my departure to Africa. I had a few moments this week where I felt I had reached capacity, but there is great peace in obedience. I have never felt better about my relationship with my Maker and am so thankful for how He continues to bless the boys and me.

Blessed be His Name!!!
