In January 2015 we were at a crossroads…stay in the engineering world or work full time at the church?  This was as big as we could dream, but God had other plans. 

When an opportunity arose to move our young family overseas, our hearts were ready.  Our good Father had planted the seeds years before and we had spent months seeking wisdom and releasing our future to Him.

The crazy thing is that this decision wasn’t just an adventure for us, we knew that it would change everything for our kids…forever.  It would change the way they saw the world and they would never be able to go back to small town America mentality.  Confident this was part of His good plan for them, too, we boarded that plane with anxious anticipation.   Once again, our good Father came through bigger and better than we ever could have imagined. 

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we can ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.”
Ephesians 3:20-21

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
