We are back from the holidays in NY where we spend time with friends and family. We are so blessed by the deep friendships we enjoy...despite the miles that separate. Since being back we have accepted that Wilmington is indeed HOME, and that we are more excited than ever about what God will do through Crosswinds Church.
We were challenged last week at Port City Community Church to pick ONE WORD for the new year (check out http://www.myoneword.org/) . One word on which we will focus our thoughts and efforts, ALL YEAR. It's been an interesting process for all of us to reflect and examine. As a family we've shared together what words we've thought about. The confession of weakness, in itself, has been valuable...and overwhelming. I'm praying that God will impress the word He wants for me....I think MY list is up to about 20 or so.
We'd appreciate your prayers as we try to sort out our housing options. We hope to lease a new place, a townhouse closer to where the church will be, but we're waiting to hear back from the owner. We think that two contracts came in on the same day. The plan was to be out of this apartment by Jan 24th, but we'll have to see how it all works out. Again, we trust that the Lord will work out the details if he wants us in that neighborhood. And if not...He knows best, and he'll provide as He always has.
Crosswinds Church has secured commerical space in Leland and will be "moving in" at the beginning of February. We are excited about the coming months; Mark will be busy as he works to prepare the building AND juggle schoolwork, family, and work. We are most excited about the people who will become part of what is happening at CW. Would you pray with us that "CROSS-eyed" people would join the CW team? That our impact would be multiplied? That our focus would be a God inspired vision?
We are humbled again...and greatly inadequate for the task ahead. Thank you for holding us in prayer and for your continued encouragement. You are precious to us!
1/9 P.S. We did get the townhouse!!!! Thanks for your prayers!
