The way God moves...

Is amazing! He always has a plan and works everything out for the good. It is so wonderful to see how His hand has divinely moved things into place to show us what He has for us.

Lets start with this, we absolutely know that God was calling us to Montreal. He opened the doors necessary to get the process moving and we felt called to walk toward those doors. When this all began we had two options on the table, Montreal or Montana, and the doors for Montana seemed shut. Once we realized that God was calling us to Montreal, we moved forward with the preparation. We got so far as to make and stuff all our support packets. However, after a series of events, we are confident that the doors are now closed.

And still, I know God had us move forward toward Montreal for a purpose. In the last 5 months Johnny and I have grown so much. We have both been humbled, I have learned what it means to be a submissive wife (a decision I must make everyday), and we have also learned what's important to us and what our style is in ministry. I also feel that our pursuit of Montreal brought certain weaknesses to light on every one's behalf- Ours, Global Adventures, Calvary, and Regeneration- that we can now all work to improve. Without the problems we have faced, we all would not have had the opportunity for growth and change like we now have. One of the analogies we have been using is that we, like Abraham with his son, were asked to go and follow God, to trust, have faith, and make the sacrifices necessary to serve Him; because we were willing and faithful, it is as though we performed and God is not longer asking us to go. We are at peace with where God has brought us and excited to see what is next.

We are revisiting our other option from 6 months ago along with a few others. We are excited to see where we end up and what God has for us there. Pray for His leading and that He would be laying us on the hearts of the people we may join.
