It's been a month since we arrived in Orlando, and if I do say so myself we have adjusted with ease. We are working with the School of Missions and have various other responsibilities that help this base run.
Upon returning, we wondered what God was going to do. We very clearly heard last May that we should work for several months and then join up with Y. I wondered why we should do this because we live by support of our friends and families (people who believe in us, our calling, and that God has a plan for this world). There was not one person who questioned us and God provided for us in Greenville in so many ways we felt truly blessed. Needless to say, I'm excited for this season and so far God hasn't disappointed. There is a Turkish Cultural Center that some friends told us about. We are taking Turkish language lessons for $35 a head, including books. WOW! What a leg up! We are enjoying that gift. On top of that, we have several people who have shown interest in joining us on this unknown, following God's voice, adventure to move to Antalya and start a ministry. I admit I had doubts we'd find anyone ever. Again, wow!
Now, I know, that we don't always see God at work. That sometimes it feels like our prayers hit the ceiling and there is no evidence of a greater being but I'll remember times like this, the proof of Him in my own life, and be able to continue believing that there is a God and He is Good and is up to something.
P.S. We have a new and beautiful nephew, Stephen Monroe born Jan. 24th.
I have a terrible cold and swallow garlic to boost my immune system.
Craig still sleeps by me despite the smell. Good old boy!!!
