Friends

Friends, each time I write this blog I think of YOU! The YOU that sits on the other side of the screen, the you who spends your time reading these word, praying the prayers and spending YOUR time in these moments with us!

The above verse was the verse of the a couple days ago and all I could think about was YOU! Our prayer team. YOU were who I prayed this verse over yesterday and again today. We are thankful for you and for your willingness to stand in the gap for us. We are delighted to know we are being prayed for and we can see the answers to those prayers already. 

Thank you so much for YOUR part on our team! You are loved, you are thought of and you are cherished! Even if we have never met we are in this together and your seeds being sown here have eternal results. We will celebrate together someday and one day in His presence we will remember these things that He was faithful to do through us, as a team!

Today I bring you some praises:

Vanessa: had a blessed trip to her Uncle's house in CA, CiCi seems to be mending from her ear infections and cold and that Vanessa has several fun things still left to do this Fall to help pass the time during this current deployment.

Rachel: her parents are finally all moved in and her life has some very exciting things to keep her smiling ear to ear. Her son is doing well in his senior year and is blowing us all away with his drive and dedication to finish strong. Her other kiddos are in beautiful stretching seasons as well, and Rachel in this season actually has the time to enjoy the people in her life.

Jeni (myself): God has allowed many wonderful meetings to happen, right on time and I am meeting so many possible volunteers that it makes my heart burst with excitement of what's to come. I also have been able to start with AmazonFlex that will hopefully be a blessing to my family while we await to come on as paid staff with YFC.

Prayer requests:

For Vanessa: for travel mercies and for restful and enjoyable time with friends. For organization and thinking space (can be hard with a busy 1 year old in arms) for peace and joy in this month as she pushes past the half way mark and leans into that final stretch of deployment

For Rachel: for her family as they continue to transition and for her time and schedule as it unfolds. For her relationships and her home. For her fundraise to be successful and for her heart to rest in joy and peace.

For Jeni: for being able to make time to do YFC things while taking on a side job with Amazon Flex. For our homes to be provided for. For a seller or renter of our house in GA or for a quick process with the bank to do what we need to, to be out from under it. Pray that I will hear God well and that I will be exactly where He wants me to be at the moments He wants me to be there. 

For our YFC mission here: for the harvest of teen hearts, that they will know and love the Lord. For businesses to partner with us in the future of YFC Military here. For the Chaplains we have begun speaking to and for open doors on both bases. For volunteers and leaders to come along side us and for our hearts to be ever ready with the gospel of peace for all who we encounter.

Thank you again friends. We could not do this without you!!! We pray for your lives as well. May each of you be healthy in body and strong in Spirit through Him who is able. 

Peace be with you.
