So Much to Do!

Wow, I have not posted in awhile but things have been so busy. The mens CRW weekend went great and Jerry basically was in charge of the Chapel. He did and awesome job and really enjoyed it. The Monday after we had a couple walk through the house and make an offer that night. We came to an agreement by Tuesday night. PTL He sold the house!!!! They are from CA, no house to sell of their own, they just want to move in. We are to close the 23rd of May so we have been on a frantic search for a house to buy that we can move into quickly. After two offers and turn downs we found one. They will let us move in May16th. We have just been in awe watching God work all this out for us. Jerry was commenting last night how "you just want to not worry about anything ever again knowing God will take care of us." It does seem so wrong how we waste time and energy worrying about things when He tells us to cast our burdens on Him. Why do we hold on to them so tight for so long? We are such a self-centered creature to think we can fix it or handle it ourselves.

This last Sunday we met with the team of directors for the CRW weekends and they asked Jerry and I to be the assistant to the assistant directors this next year. They have a team of three all the time so two teams are being trained. What that means is that in 3 years Jerry and I will be directors for the womans and mens weekends. That is a bit scary but we get two years training for it. Jerry is excited. We love this ministry and we love that it is something we can do together. I cant imagine being the director and it all scares me spitless but I am clinging to the fact that He qualifies the called and not calls the qualified!

So that is our current life in a nut shell. God is taking care of us in huge ways and we are learning to take our hands off the wheel and let him drive. It's a beautiful ride that way and much more enjoyable :)
