Wow, We Did It  !!!



It’s hard to believe that we have laid everything at God’s feet.  As most of you know we have had a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past few years.  After all, how many families can say that they have hit a moose and have walked away unscratched. 

      
                                            
It was on that frightful night, on a lonely Maine Interstate Highway, that our families lives directions were changed forever.  We were doing what we thought was a good fit for our family, serving in a church down south. However we have come to find out that sometimes the direction we feel is where we should be is not necessarily the plans the Lord has for us. So we finished our time at the church we were serving with, put our belongings into storage and decided at this time, the best thing we could do was to take our family to PEI to visit family and see what our next steps would be.  Little did we know a Moose was God’s way of showing us! We remember the moment after we hit the moose, Effie frantically turning around to the kids and saying we need to thank The Lord that we are OK. However, now looking back at that dark night we think we were thanking God for more than just safety.  Instead, we think we were thanking Him for a new direction for our family! We can tell you first hand, the past two years have been challenging but we have really seen God’s faithfulness and the importance of Trusting Him. During a moment of being homeless, jobless and vehicle less we would never have imagined that our family would be stepping out in faith to be full time missionaries!  I can’t tell you though, how excited and filled we feel as we embark on this adventure! So, we are happy to share with you that WE have accepted a missionary call to a position with Saints Equipped to Evangelize.  (www.saintsequipped.org)
