Tomorrow's the BIG Day

So we start our internship tomorrow. We are a lil nervous though but more overwhelmed with excitement then anything! God is showing more of Himself to us everyday. It is so important to seek God with all of our hearts. There is so much more to this life then to just live it out. We need to know Him and more of Him. By the grace of God we have paid a quarter of our tuition. We have until the end of this week I believe to have half of the monies then the rest has to be paid by the 21st of October. But with that said, God is sooooo good! He comes through for us time and time again. Just when you start to feel like God where are you? Did you leave me? Then He shows up and your like sorry God I know I'm a Lil dramatic! lol

I have heard from a few say, "well you still need alot of money Della"...but I have learned now to not look at it in that fashion. You know the whole glass is half full not half empty. But we need to look that we have gotten somewhere and we actually get to start! I am going to continue to trust in God for the rest. We have trusted in Him this far to get us out here...why not the rest? I have a God that every animal in the forest is His and the cattle on a thousand hills! PS 50:10, what is a couple thousand dollars for Him? Its nothing...

We are just really blessed we have met some new people and I have been able to hang out with my cousin LeAnn that just so happen to move out here 3 weeks before us! She is literally 15-20 minutes from our house! It has been such a blessing to have her near! We were so close when we were lil, we even made up our own lil singing group and use to try and write songs. When I would stay the night at her house we would mix all kinds of cleaning products to try and create a new one then show her mom, my auntie how absolutely fantastic it was! lol Now that I am older and to think how dangerous that was...too funny. But needless to say it is really nice to see her and have someone here that knows me and my family. And there is nothing more great then seeing our children hanging out and beginning to build relationships with each other! It makes me feel old though! But again God knows what we need around us to get through this life.

Do you believe in what we are doing?

As alot of you know we are out here to be apart of a major prayer movement. We are Missionaries...Intercessory Missionaries. We are in need of our loved ones support. Now we have never asked anyone for anything so this is just not some hoax or for the fun of it. This is really serious. Being a missionary takes people like you to support them. Whether it is financially; partnering with us on a monthly basis, sowing a seed or of course (which I hope you do :o) ) is keeping us in your prayers. We came out here completely by faith...not by the moving of our own hearts but by the moving of God upon our hearts.

We are now trying to enter into a staff entry internship that trains us in so many ways. But in order for this to happen we need your help. Even if you dont believe in why we are doing this or how we are doing this but believe in us as a family and our hearts, then follow your heart and help. We have 9 days to raise $2,350.00 to start school so we definetly need God to move on our behalf. Please take the time to pray about it...but now too much time! lol God blesses those who bless His people. Whatever seed you sow comes back over and above what you gave...God has done that a number of time for us.

Our promise to you is living a simple, fasted lifestyle in alignment with the word of God. We promise our partners to keep them in prayer at all times, to keep updates coming on what we are doing and how God is moving.

Will you partner with us? If you have any questions at all you can call or email us. Send us an email if you dont have our phone numbers...Love you all!!!

Overflow!

All I have to say is wow! We are just in awe of what God is doing in our lives. As most of you know we did not come out here for the conventional reasons like jobs or we bought a house or whatever other great reasons to relocate your family is. We came out here for a calling that we felt God put on our hearts. And almost everyday God confirms in so many ways that this was His will. From us actually obtaining enough money to even get out here. That was the grace of God...but as you all know our God is a gentlemen. He will not call you somewhere and not fit the bill.

Well since we have been out here it has been a challenge. We literally just had enough money to get out here. But God has been our supplier and has been taking care of us when we were getting a lil nervous about us getting food or even gas. But God has come through. Its been challenge after challenge along with blessing after blessing! Our purpose for coming out here was to be Missionaries and as most of you know also they don't get paid the big bucks! lol But it doesn't matter to us, as long as our family is taken care of...eating, clothed and happy that is all that matters. Our kids are soooo at peace with this move. They are so excited every time they come out of there classes. Keilani is coming out of class so happy telling us that she loves worshipping God so much and that she felt the Glory of God! How awesome is that!! It is my one prayer that our kids would know God on a intimate level. That they would not live there walk with God through us but that they would have a personal relationship with Jehovah Jireh our Provider!! That they would seek God and that He would reveal Himself that they would know how real He is. They truly love God...that makes me weep to even know that.

So today we got so blessed...we have cabinets and freezer full of food!!!! We literally could not even fit it all in!! We are living in the overflow baby! Be blessed guys and believe God for the unbelievable!

Jeremiah 29:11-13

For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 12 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all you heart.

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY...

Ok so thanks to good ol' Ike its been raining over here. Though its rainy the last day or so has been warm, like in the 70's. Now a few days ago you would have thought we were back in the Bay cause it was cold and raining...but we are not. Soooo we for now are dealing with the many changes that are going on around us. Almost all of us have experienced the bite of what is called a ChiggerBut though it is raining the all the green around us is absolutely beautiful! This one of the butterflies that we have in our meadow that I photograped.We are very proud of our house but wish so much that we could share it with you all. I randomly think about having all our family and friends over for a big dinner celebration and then remember that you all are so very far away. It definetly saddens us at times but we have to remember that God has a bigger plan for us right now. We will get through this time of adjustment.

The kids are really enjoying their school out here. They dont seem to have as many cuts as California. The kids weekly have Arts and Music class that they LOVE! So that is always a very encouraging thing. The kids love playing outside like everyday, even when its raining. Seeing them happy and enjoying the land we are on makes us so happy. Yesterday we spent like an hour outside in our orchard picking the juciest pears we have ever tasted!! So I have looked up some recipes to make stuff with them. There is also delicious apples and there is grapes that we have not tasted yet.

Ismo took the liberty of jumping on the ride on mower and mowing ALL the grass...it only took him about an hour to an hour n a half! haha! It was so cute to see him out there proud of our house. He came in and said, "I'm no longer a city slicker... I'm officially a country boy!". LOL

New Blog Spot

So I wanted to create one of these because I felt it would be the best way for everyone to check out at your own leisure what our family is up to and how we are doing. Being that we are alot further away and on a new adventure...what better way for us to take you all with us. I will try my hardest to blog as much as humanly possible with four kids and a husband. LOL But I really want to stay in touch...we miss and love you all!!

So here we are in good ol' Kansas City!!!
