The next few steps....

    These past few months have felt different, felt like preparation, you know the type of season right before big things happen.  We have seen God move in such mighty ways as He continues to mend together the path we are to follow to England. As He forever increases our heart and passion for the community in Somerset He is connecting us with people to encourage us and help us reach out to more people.

   We were so blessed to have an advocate meeting setup for us in Watertown where we were able to meet some amazing people who have such a heart for missions. It was so encouraging because as we prayed and fasted for the meeting we had no idea what to expect. When we showed up in the tiny coffee shop we were so encouraged. Not just by the number of people who showed up (almost double what we expected) but by their excitement and heart for the young adults in England and missions in general.  We were so encouraged after that weekend of fellowship.

  But God....   oh what a wonderful phrase that is, but God, it changes things, it magnifies things, it takes impossible and makes it done, it takes unimaginable and makes is done... that phrase changes lives and situations....  But God wasn't done encouraging us on this trip. On the drive home (not long maybe 2hrs) we planned to stop for lunch.  I fell asleep but when I woke up Eric asked where I wanted to eat. I saw a sign for Pizza Ranch. For those who know me well - you know I don't do pizza (yeah I am that type of person) unless it is like 11 at night and from a specific pizza place.  But that day I saw the sign for Pizza Ranch and it was all I wanted.  So we went (Eric really likes pizza!)

 It was in that simple action that God created a scenario to encourage us and strengthen us in our journey.
As we sat down at a table Eric went to get food and I got settled in. A nice lady walked by and got her purse caught on my chair. She said I looked familiar and we started talking. Eric and I got to spend the whole lunch sharing with this amazing couple, talking about our ministry, the need in England, and just the church in general. It was such an uplifting time for us. We were so encouraged that God would create that little blessing just for us.

Today I encourage you to be blessed by those little moments God puts in your life to encourage you.
