Yesterday, Keith and I spoke at VBC on behalf of the IMB and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. We have known for months and I have been stressed about it ever since Keith informed me that I must share my testimony. I love the Lord and love sharing, but not infront of an entire congregation!!!
Keith did an excellent job. I know I am a bit bias, but Keith is such a great speaker. I laughed, cried and was totally inspired!!! I, however, spent my entire 8 minutes weeping...OK, flat out bawling!!! This was the first time we officially spoke as former Missionaries to Russia and it was heart breaking. Please pray for us as we continue to seek the Lord's will regarding our future. Pray that we would have patience as we wait on Him. Keith has several good job possibilities...so pray that the application process would go quickly and we would be able to discern where the Lord is leading us.
Please also pray for our dear friends, former team mates, colleagues and family, the Ws. Today, C was given 3 days to leave Russia and will be unable to return for atleast the next 5 years. He will be leaving Russia alone on his Birthday and the rest of the family will flow shortly. A few weeks ago, they were recently denied the right to adopt darling twins that they have been getting to know over the past year and now their time in Russia has come to an end. Pray the Lord would make His will clear to them, heal their hurts and poor out his love, grace, mercy peace and an abundance of joy upon them.
Pray, as well, for Gideon's teacher, Miss Cook. Her dog died on Friday and she is really stuggling with this huge loss. Pray that she would be able to return to class (there is a substitute teacher today) and finish the last week and half of school strong.
OK...thank you for perservering with me and continuing to read about my many burdens!!! My final request is...I have been coughing for 3 weeks...OK, honestly almost 4!!! I feel fine, am able to continue with my daily routine...with added naps :-) but I am struggling with the decision of knowing if a doctor's visit is truly needed or would be a waste of our dwendling cash. I do not want to pay to go to the doctor to be told that I have a cough!!! Please pray that the Lord would heal me or make it evident that I really do need to go to the doctor...or the hospital, which would actually be cheaper...at least until Janurary when our insurance ends!!!
Today, Keith and I even went to Boot Camp...I laughed sooo hard as I watched Keith mone and suffer through one of the hardest Boot Camps yet!!! OK, I could laugh instead of cry since I was sitting on the sidelines coughing!!! After class, he said he was too tired to even get out of the car!!!
Thanks for your prayers!!! We love and appreciate you!!!
