Moving Forward

We can't believe that we are only 6 weeks away from our big move to London, England. We sure do feel like we are just running around like chickens with our heads cut off.  Here's the tentative game plan for our last few weeks here and how you can be in prayer for us in this part of our journey. 

6 WEEK COUNTDOWN

Week 1: send in Tara's final visa application, finish sending out our support letters, and drive 12 hours to VA to speak at a church (hopefully two!) on the weekend. Please pray for a safe journey and for the Lord to speak through Ben and I as we share whats going on in London and how we will be ministering to the people there with YWAM.  Pray that Tara's visa will be accepted and processed quickly and without any complications. 

Week 2: Organize our apartment into what to sell, what to keep in the U.S., and what to take with us to London. Hold our last garage sale fundraiser at Tara's parents house (please come) and take whatever is left to Goodwill. Also move out of the apartment and into Tara's parents house that weekend. Pray that all of this goes smoothly. That the garage sale will be a success and that we will get everything organized and where it needs to go.

Week 3: Spend precious time with Tara's family and whoever we can squeeze in. :) Start completing the packing process to London. Hopefully sell Tara's car in efforts to help with fundraising. Pray that Tara can stay focused in the present and enjoy the time she has left with her friends, family, and co-workers. 

Week 4: Say "so long" to friends and family in Hendersonville and surrounding area. Head to Cleveland, TN for 3 photoshoots that weekend and then travel 12 hours to VA to spend time with Ben's family for 2 weeks. 

Week 5:  Hang out with Ben's fam in Smithfield, VA. Ben needs to see the eye doctor at somepoint and get new glasses. Pray that we will be able to cherish the time we have with Ben's family. Ben's Dad may be having his knee replaced that week so pray for health and for everything to go smoothly. 

Week 6: We leave! ahhhh! Stuff needs to be packed. We are on our way to London. Pray for financial provision. At this point we still have a LOOOONNNG way to go in terms of financial provision. We trust that that Lord will provide as He already has. Its all in His timing. 

So, as you can tell, we are crazy busy. :) Please be in prayer that we will be wise with our time .Pray for our parents as they have to let go of us and trust God to take care of us where He has called us to go.  That's all for now.
