So, it has become apparent that I will only post to this blog once a month. I guess I have just gotten busy, with Chiara's doctor appointments (which are plentiful lately, but still no flu so thank You, Jesus) and with my business (which is moving a little too fast for our liking, but I am working to reign it in).Most of the families that meet in our little part of the Ekklesia have been meeting on their own lately, we have just not been able to coordinate schedules so far apart. But we did meet yesterday and have some exciting developments to share:
Doug Belton had been out of work for the summer, and he got a job managing security at the Coliseum in Minneapolis...a huge burden lifted for their family.
Carrie Ellison is still out of work, due to back problems that only get worse not better...Doug even offered her a job, but she can't be on her feet all day. Please pray for her body to cooperate and for the Lord to show her what she should be doing.
Chris Steiner's friend Marcus moved down to Faribault and they started a band. We are hoping that Marcus will meet with us soon, so far it hasn't worked out due to scheduling. Chris also showed us a copy of the first CD he produced...we are so happy for him, God is allowing him to use his gifts, now if he can just get a steady gig ;)
Kim Steiner has a friend from MOPS that is volunteering this week for a homeless shelter...apparently they have a Men's area and a Women's area, and then a family area. Her friend signed up to make coordinate a meal one night for 70 families...the volunteers provide all the food, serve and clean up. I said "we wanna do that!" so I am in the process of getting that info and our group is going to plan to committ to working there one night a month. What a great way to show the love of Christ to people who need Him!
I leave you with pictures of how Caden redecorated Cameron's room...Kim said "Oh look, now she can draw circles" I on the other hand was not as impressed with her artistic ability as her mother was...said mother now owes me 2 Mister Clean Magic Erasers
