Hey friends, I pray your Christmas Season was refreshing and restful.
God has granted us (the team) much favor and rest and we are thankful for every bit of it. I cannot believe we are already a week into the new year. Is it just me or did it happen in a blink?
Vanessa traveled, Rachel got hitched, and I (Jeni) hosted company. The days were full but blessed to the brim. We surely will not run out of things to be thankful for!
The days in January will be filled with praying and planning. Each of us have tasks that we will need to navigate as we move forward. Our calendars are starting to compile new adventures with our youth and like race horses that have to pee.... we are so ready to start this beautiful race we have before us. But like every race comes prep and practice and some stretches and the buy in and some well.... waiting. This January while we move forward we are taking our time to listen closely to what God is calling us towards. We are seeking His heart and asking Him to guide us, train us, prepare us, and to faithfully race us toward His finish line.

So as we await our lists of to-dos our prayer is that we will grow closer to HIM. That in the crazy of everyday life we will see HIM, acknowledge HIM and praise HIM. Our prayer is that from the overflow of our relationship with HIM everyone around us will also be transformed by HIM. We are asking you to pray with us that while we seek God so closely, that God will do the rest!
Personal requests include:
Vanessa: Finishing the deployment strong while being able to balance work and "single mom" life in the meanwhile.
Rachel: For the blend of her now 8 children into one home, newly wed life and everything inbetween.
Jeni: For continued provisions and wisdom while fixing homes and getting out of debt.
We thank you for being an amazing part of our team. Your prayer hold us up when we need them most. May God overwhelm this area with HIS love and redemption, bringing salvation and reconciliation to His people.
Thank you Jeni for writing this so well and to all of you who read along with us!
