Well for those of you who have been keeping up with us for the last few weeks you might be wondering if we have received an answer as to what the next step is at this point.
After several weeks of praying, studying scripture, seeking God, and seeking Godly counsel we think we know the next step He is leading us to. Monday morning on my way to work I was having some prayer/conversation time with God and He began to give me the strangest peace about going to Asia. Up until this point my biggest hangup has been the vast amount of fundraising that would be required, but God has given me a peace about it. So Monday night after small group, Melanie and I talked about where God could be leading and both felt like the next step for us was to fill out the application to go. So Monday night we both filled out the application.
So now the next step for us is the initial interview. My(Ira) interview is set for this afternoon at 2 pm so if you think about it I would appreciate any prayers you might lift up. Melanie's interview is set for next Tuesday afternoon so please continue to pray for us.
In other news I have a dentist appt today at noon(makes me think of a western--showdown at noon) and I am also hoping to finish the last of my Christmas shopping today.
Anyway I appreciate any comments you may have at this point and your prayers...
Much Love,
Ira

I am excited about what God is doing in your lives. Always trust in Him and follow His lead. Don't expect comfort. God will provide in His all knowing way which isn't our way. Study, pray, and prepare yourselves. There isn't going to be a "hardest part" it will all be challengeing. But living for God... there is not better way to live your life. Those made for missions have it in their heart to do missions. You guys have it in your hearts. God placed that desire there.
I have some great books I'm sharing with Drake and Amanda so I'll share them with you too. There was a list of recommended reading for people before they embark on missions to have the right mindset and strengthen yourselves for the battle you are taking on. :)
I love you guys and I look forward to seeing God work through you.
My prayers are with you today, tomorrow, and the next day.
