Countdown

We had such a great month last month. Call it a "babymoon"; it was nice to be about something besides lists and boxes for a few weeks. Alas, the time has come for moving on, moving out, going out! Our target date is November 1st, Lord willing. We are still waiting for one document and must finish packing.

A few points for prayer:

• Health and strength - two of us have become ill in the past 10 days or so, since the weather turned and we are not out in the sunshine regularly. As we move far north and into a new environment at the start of winter, we are especially desiring that all our children will handle the change well, physically. (Our oldest became quite ill at the close of our visit there last summer.)
• Peace - big changes are all around us, from the arrival of a newborn baby to leaving friends to ending our weekly routines, and on and on. Again, it is our little ones for whom this is so drastic. We seek God's comfort and the stillness in our hearts that helps us remember that He is God and is in control of all. His love does not change!
• Provision - we have researched, analyzed and estimated our moving and living expenses as much as we can; now the Lord must take care and make up for our lack, both in knowledge and in means. Our hope is for no big financial expense surprises.

These things, and anything else the Lord puts on your heart to pray for us, would be a great help and blessing to us right now.

"Brethren, pray for us."
