Life's Not Fair, But God Is ALWAYS There

Yesterday as we hit the road after a tearful goodbye with family in Tacoma, Finn piped up, "Life's not fair, but God is always there." Out of the mouth of six-year-olds. This was the theme of Summit Ridge's VBS a couple weeks ago, and this simple truth has been an encouragement to us as we grieve in leaving. We have a Rock who is higher than us, a firm foundation when we are flush or floundering.

We have seen amazing things over the past three and a half months. Detail upon detail has fallen into place in ways we could not orchestrate or conceive in our imagination. Within the last week we have watched our monthly support grow to 93%, rented our house, and sold our van. I am beginning to feel like a bit like Alfred P. Neuman, "What me worry?" God has been nurturing in us a steady faith, a calm trust in Him based on repeated experience. Everyday He's given our daily bread; in spite of our worries, our sense or urgency, and our attempts to make things happen, He has been quietly leading us along and giving us a strange peace.

YARD SALE!

On Saturday, July 14, we will be selling a bunch of stuff at bargain prices. If you have time, come on by and buy a bed, a book, or a fruit dehydrator.. It's at 3303 East 20th Avenue from 9-3.

PAR-TAY!

On Sunday afternoon, we will be hanging out at Thornton Murphy Park from 3-5 p.m. We would love to see as many of you as possible before our July 18th departure, so please drop by if you can. We wish we had more time to spend with all our friends and family, but it's the eleventh hour, people! We'll have cold pop and snacks (as in chips 'n dip, not eggplant caviar) and hugs for everyone. Hope to see you there!
