Good news

Posted by Ashley on February 16th, 2008

Just a note to let you all know that after four days of exhausting, exciting and encouraging interviews, group projects, meals and debriefs that our calling to church planting has been confirmed. We’re still working through what that looks like for our future but I did want to let you all know that we weren’t given a kick out the door. :)

Thank you for your prayers. Ezra also did remarkably well. I was able to nurse him at lunch most days and he got good naps and took to a bottle well for my mom.

Oh, Atlanta!

We’ve dropped off Francis at Bryce’s parents and are finishing up packing and thinking through church planting things before we leave tomorrow morning for Atlanta. Sadly, we won’t get to experience the city at all, but we will be qualified to tell you what we think of the Holiday Inn at the airport. Wish us well. Prayers are appreciated, too — in particular for: us to represent ourselves and our vision for church planting faithfully; Ezra to deal well when he’s away from me (and for my mom to handle him well if he doesn’t); for the assessors to get a clear picture of us and other candidates and for God to make his will clear through this process about what’s next in store for us. We’ll be back late Valentine’s Day night.
