Update!

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've updated.  I seriously felt like I didn't have anything to say, though.  We have been crippled by a lack of hearing God's voice, and therefore, haven't felt good about making decisions.  So last Friday Tim and I spent the day fasting and praying and the next day we sought some Godly counsel from a couple of different people currently in marriage ministry.  I'm happy to report that we do have some direction that resonnates with our spirits.  Lord willing, we are going to go to a marriage conference in June (the 20th - 25th) in Dallas, Texas, and then we would like to take 2 months and go out west with the kids to finish the 2nd leg of our trip as strictly a family trip.  Then we plan on coming back here and settling in for at least a year until we hear more direction.  As you may remember, we have been feeling more and more called to minister to pastors and leadership marriages and families, and we've had some things open up in this regard right here in our own community.  So, we are believing this is where God wants us for now.  It has made me wonder why the Lord wanted us to sell our house if we're going to be right back here, but then I'm reminded that He was very clear He wanted us to be unencumbered, and we have definitely been that since we don't have all the responsibilities and costs of home ownership right now.  Wow, now that I'm writing here, I have SO much more I want to say, but I always try to keep these fairly brief.  So maybe I'll share more another time.  Our 2nd leg of the trip is still a little up in the air due to a few reasons - gas prices being one of them!  But the 2 main pieces of direction we know are the conference and plugging back in here for the next year.  We've even been able to plug back into the 6 week marriage class at our church we used to teach that started back up this week.  Thank you so much for your prayers for us as we move forward!
