Here We Go....Again!

We are doing really well, summer has set in and school will be here before we know it.  A lot has been going on the last couple of weeks, which leads me to this post.  We wanted to let everyone know that Tim and I are exploring an opportunity to move our family to Ndola, Zambia.  Yes, Africa.  This is so huge and crazy and exciting and overwhelming!  It has all happened VERY fast....so forgive us for not telling everyone in person.


We, along with our dear friends the Dixons, would be working with an organization called Wiphan, that works with widows and orphans and possibly another organization called Lifespring Farm. On July 26th, we will be boarding a flight to Zambia for 9 days. We will be checking out the ministries and doing research of all kinds.

We are so excited about this opportunity, but we need your prayers.  It's just such a huge decision and one we are not taking lightly.  We love our home, here in Tuscaloosa, all of our wonderful friends, our precious families, and all of the things that we are used to.  To pick up and move, leaving all of that is really hard.  But, as hard as it seems, it is so miniscule compared to the sacrifice Jesus made for us. That was the ultimate "hard". I'm reminding myself of that, daily.  I love the saying that I have seen on Pinterest - "If God calls you to it, He'll see you through it".  I have NO doubt that if this is what God is calling our family to, all of the details, worries, fears, and "hard"stuff, will work themselves out. (I've already seen evidence of this:)


With all of that said, we are still in the "exploring" phase.  We will definitely let everyone know what our next steps will be....and we will have more details to share. Thanks for your support!
