THANK YOU!

Thank you for all your phone calls, cards, blog comments, Facebook posts, and emails of encouragement as we transition between ministries! Your outpouring of love, concern, and care has been, and continues to be a tremendous blessing as we focus on looking ahead.

So what DOES lie ahead? Lots of prayer, research, communication, regional travel, questions and, Lord willing, an answer leading to paperwork, interviews, and a narrowing of opportunities by the beginning of the new year.

At this point we fully expect God to keep us in faith-supported ministry. He's just cleared the easel, prepared fresh paint, a new color pallet, and a brand new canvas on which to create the hues of Heaven. Karen and I are simply the brushes in His hand. We believe there's a few more paintings to be completed before our bristles finally all fall out! HA!

Keep watching the blog for updates. We'll post them as we have them so you can continue to pray for us and walk with us on this pilgrimage deeper into God's heart!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3: 5-6 (NASB)

"The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives." Psalm 37:23 (NLT)

"The Lord says, 'I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.'" Psalm 32:8 (NLT)

"Show me the right path, O LORD, point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me." Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)

Keith and Karen,
One of my favorite scriptures when I am looking for God's guidance -
We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.
2 Chronicles 20:12b
Praying for you.
