The wheels on the bus go round and round…



Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Isaiah 41:10

We claim this promise for this time of transition in our lives. We had a time of strengthening this weekend in Texas with the Shining Light board members and the supporting church there. Learning more about our upcoming responsibilities, feeling quite inadequate, and being so very thankful that we do not go to the work on our own! On the other hand, excited to be this much closer to the dear children and staff, ready to join our new family there!

    The 2 days out of the van were a good thing! This morning we left at 7:00 ct from Texas and have driven on and on! We spent most of the day in Texas. Hours and hours of scrub brush, oil wells, wind turbines, and every few hours a town. And flat for as far as you can see. Tonight we stopped at 8:00 mt in Lordsburg, NM for the night and are hoping for an early start tomorrow again. We also praise God for protection for the van. We have not had any problems at all aside from the fact that we have to keep feeding it gas, which I guess isn't considered a problem but is unhandy! J

    Thanks for your prayers!
