I write to you guys as Eric is off at his new job dropping off his tools and welding gear. We want to thank you for your prayers over the summer and are excited to see what God will do at his new job. We believe these hours will help give him more flexibility to have time for fundraising and preparing to speak at churches.
With the extra time off we were able to borrow a friend's cabin and go celebrate Eric's 30th birthday in Minocqua. It was a great time to relax, take our focus off of everything else, and celebrate where God has us. We enjoyed a lumberjack show and some Hawaiin ice both completely new experiences for me. Speaking of new experiences, Eric saw his first ever Rugby match on the Olympics. I am slightly worried at how excited he got. We found out from friends in Somerset that there is a Rugby club in town, so he could play on the weekends... good thing we have insurance :)
This year we have been slightly torn at the Olympics and have found ourselves cheering for both our home land and England.. makes it extra exciting when they both medal.
As summer winds down and we wonder where it went to I am preparing to head back to school. It is an interesting year because I know tha school isn't my focus this year.. My focus is to prepare the best I can for the mission God has given us. This shouldn't be a new way at looking at life, God has given us each a mission and a purpose - things He has called you to. A good question is to ask yourself if you are living out your life preparing for the mission God made you for. Or do you find that you are being distracted by the small things around you?This month will be our first enews and I am excited to send it out. If you are not signed up for our newsletter and want to be please comment or email me your email address and I will add you to the list.
One final piece of good news.. we are 10.6% funded!
We want to thank our partners for listening to God and joining us as we reach out to the young adults/families in Somerset.
