21 day Jesus fix, post from Jillian

Three weeks from today!!!! We leave in 21 days. This amazing opportunity is the constant conversation in our house.  We go from "How can we prepare our hearts for what we will see and experience?" to "Do we have enough underwear?"  Yeah, that is some range isn't it?

The whirlwind of the end of school year activity has begun.  The kids are either winding down in their studies or spending 4 hours each night on review packets for exams.  Once again, range.  Michael and I are continuing to minister to our church family, all while trying to figure out the details of the summer here and there.

I have had so many conversations with co-workers, extended family and church visitors about the DR.  What a great way to sow seeds of God's love.  I am praying that these Q & A's plant a little inspiration into their hearts.  I am stepping quite a ways out of my comfort zone.... if I can do it, you can for sure! It doesn't have to be huge.....stop and have a conversation with your neighbor, send a note to someone you thought of today, follow up on that thing you have a passion for, look into their eyes when you ask them how they are doing....really.

Serving doesn't have to be hard! Serving is always a blessing to those served AND the servant. Being front row to giving joy is just about THE best thing.

Thank you for supporting us in prayer and finances.  We have been blessed with 75% of the funds needed for the summer!  We cannot even begin to express our gratitude for the love shown through this.  Your prayers are helping us stay on track and that is crazy important to me. Please continue to lift us up.

We would love for you to pray for the following things that have been on our hearts

flight plans completed
-  finished tasks at home and church
-  level heads when it comes to packing
-  mercy filled hearts for Michael and I
-  bold and servant hearts for our kids

Kitchen

-  the full time missionaries we are going to work with
-  PJ Bogoniewski who will interim at CenterPointe
- LauraBeth taking care of our home
-  the ability to jump in with both feet when we get there

The count down is on......thanks for partnering with us.
