Since 5/12- We were able to present to our home church Holy Trinity Orthodox Church on 5/15 and were able to gather many prayer partners and were given wonderful financial support. We are once again blessed by the kindness and support of those who after hearing what our mission is are willing to back us and go with us on this journey.
Biggest news of the month is that CHRIS PASSED HIS BOARDS!!!!! Whoot Whoot! We are proud of him.
We also had a garage sale this past weekend. Overall, it was good and we were able to make a little money. It did cause some emotional strain, but we made it, and are feeling a lot better 5 days post garage sale. We are also very aware that we have a ton of things left to sale that did not get sold or did not even make it to the garage for the sale. So........that means another one is on the horizon.
This week on Tuesday the kids and I had run some errands and were discussing the events of our day. Micah got up and went upstairs to get something. When he came back he handed me $7.
I said, "Buddy, you only owe me $3 for the baseballs that you bought at the store out of your money from the garage sale."
He replied, "I know, but we need the money more to go to Africa. You keep it."
My heart just melted at his response. This is the boy that has had some major ups and downs during this journey to Africa. Right then: It showed me that though it may be hard at times for him to accept or get excited about going to Africa he is willing to go where God is leading us as a family, and also that he in support of it.
I pray that we continue to lean on Christ and trust that He always be in charge of the path our lives will take.
We pray that you are blessed and that Christ continues to guide you.
In Christ,
Ashley and Family
