Frustration

September 21, 2006 By: Ryan Category: God, Life

Have you ever been so frustrated that you don’t know what to do next?  It has been so hard on us in the past month with knowing what God wants us to do.  Don’t get me wrong–we love it here in Mansfield, but we continue to ask the question why God isn’t selling our house in Michigan so we can move on.  With a mortgage in MI, rent in OH and tuition for our soon Noah, not to mention the fact one of vehicles ‘gave up the ghost,’ we seemed so overwhelmed and frustrated that we really don’t know what to do.  So we wait!  And wait!  Hoping that all will be well in the end.

the horizon is changing

. . . in our ministry that is.  All is still fairly quiet on the home front.   Besides a trip to hospital on Noah’s fourth day of school for stitches in his chin because anouther kid pushed him into a game–all is pretty much the same.  There is no new word on our house in Michigan besides the fact it is still there and we still own it.  We would appreciate your continued prayers in this matter.  With a mortgage in MI and rent here in OH and preschool tuition for Noah we are drowning financially.  It would really help to sell our house.

As far as the Senior High Ministry @ Crossroads, we are rather excited about some big changes heading our way on the first of October.  Currently we run the same programming times as our church on the weekends (which is a Saturday night and two Sunday morning services).  I found that quite exhausting for myself, my family and the students.  We have been given permission to go to just one BIG Sunday Night outreach service.  This will allow all of our attention to be focused on this one service.

Our first series on Sunday pm is called “Shift:  shifting from a life of chaos to a life of peace“  We are very excited about this series and all that we hope it brings.  Please be praying for this change and the series.

I will try to keep you updated on what is going on with us on a more continual basis.  For the time being–just PRAY!
