KCMO

This first post is long...

We have been in Kansas City, Missouri for about three weeks. God has already blessed us with wonderful neighbors/friends. Our neighbors prayed for friends and prayed for wonderful neighbors... and they got both in us! So, we have become friends and get to hang out together in a nice little Jesus communal way. This is such a blessing in a new city and state!

In praying about our next step, we feel that the kids and I will go through the Intro to IHOP internship in the fall. It is a 12 week program with separate teachings for the kids. We have heard testimony that the children programs are life-altering. So, of course we want that for the kids!

After the internship, I plan to apply to join staff at least part-time. This would mean a 12-hour per week commitment to be in the prayer room (with the kids) and a 12-hour per week service commitment.

In the meantime, I have already become involved with the artist group here at IHOP. It is still in its infancy and I am really excited by what the Lord has in store. Personally, the Lord has been speaking to me about my art and making a deep commitment to spend a large portion of my time worshiping and glorifying Him through producing art.

What's up with Wade you ask? Well, he is working. God blessed him with a great job that keeps him busy... so Wade got exactly what he asked for! He does make it to the prayer room weekday mornings from 6-7am and other times throughout the week. He is looking into taking a 7-week course and then joining prayer room staff with a 12-hour a week prayer room commitment.

Regarding our houses, we are still paying both mortgages out of pocket. We believe that the Lord will soon deliver us in this arena too!

Well, if you read this far, may the Lord bless you exceedingly! I plan to update at least twice a week. So, check back often and let me hear what you think!
