I have always been one to struggle with contentment. The Lord is constantly reminding me to be content in whatever circumstances he has for me at that time. As you know, David and I's heart is to be in full-time ministry with missions in the near future. We are stuck where we are right now, because we are paying off his student loan. The Lord has really been teaching me to be content here right now even though we are not in "full time ministry." I have come to realize that I am in full-time ministry. I am a Christian who teaches in a public school and has the awesome opportunity to shine my light in front of my children and my co-workers. We are working in a church plant, leading Bible studies, and I am counseling at Salem Pregnancy. We are missionaries right here and right now and this is where God wants us for the time being. I know this may sound silly to you, but God has really been laying on my heart lately to be content with where he has me. He has a perfect reason for all of it and he knows exactly what he is doing. This is his plan right now for us and all I can see is a piece to the big puzzle. He sees the entire picture and in his timing he will allow the doors for us to go overseas to open if that is his will. Jeremiah 29:11 says," For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you not to harm you..." He has a perfect plan and us trusting him with each step is all he asks us to do. May you also be content in whatever state God has placed you in.

Ministies Update
David and I are praising the Lord for him getting switched to 1st shift at Timco. It has been wonderful to see each other more. We have both been very busy though at work. He has been working some overtime and of course teaching for me is always over time. = ) Gotta love it though!
As far as our church and ministies, it is going great! God is truly doing great things. We help set up church on Sunday mornings before everyone gets there and help tear down items. We LOVE that we get to help in that way. I am also hoping to be a part of the worship team in the near future when they get a sound system. I love singing, and I am excited to use my talents for him.We also have Bible studies at the church we love to be a part of when we are able. David is still teaching his Bible study with a friend of ours at his Spanish restaurant, Pancho Villas, on Monday evenings. They had about 5 saved the first time and they are in the process of discipling them! How awesome is that? I am still involved at Salem Pregnancy with counseling one to two times a month since school has started back up. I also have a Bible study in our home for ladies. We are about to start the book of Ephesians, and I am so excited about it! I also hold a prayer meeting at school for teachers and we just held our first meeting last Wednesday. Praise the Lord that we had more come this year! It is definitely growing. It is just so amazing for us to see God working mine in our lives. I know I personally have a lot of growing to do spiritually and it's neat to see God shape and mold me into who he wants me to be.
Keep praying for us concerning missions. We are working on paying David's student loan. We are living pretty tight (Dave Ramsey style). = ) We are hoping to have it paid in full in 7-9 months. After that is paid, we will Lordwilling be heading in the direction of where God would have us to go missions wise. Please pray for us to have wisdom and discernment as to what God is calling us to do. We appreciate your prayers!!!

Praise Report
David and I are rejoicing that my loan is now paid in full!! We are so excited that now we only have his student loan to pay off. It is so amazing to me to see how God has ALWAYS and will continue to provide for us. That goes for our Piedmont Baptist College apartment we lived in for 6 months with cheap rent, our beautiful home (that we couldn't afford) that we can rent for cheap now, our jobs he has provided for us, items people have given us since we have been married, and many more!! I couldn't name them all because there are so many!
What an awesome God we serve! Please pray with us as we continue to strive to get to the mission field as soon as God allows. We hope to have this loan paid off in the next year. We hope to then start seeking God's direction for where he would lead us to do next. Can't wait to see what he has in store for us!

Our New Ministry
We are thoroughly enjoying the local church plant that we are involved in. God is doing a tremendous work in both of us as well as in our church. We are seeing 1-2 new families every week come to our church to check it out. David is involved in two men's studies. He is helping lead a Spanish men's study at a local Spanish restaurant with another church member.I also have a ladies' Bible study in our home that I love! This is wonderful experience for both of us for the mission field.I am also still involved in counseling at Salem Pregnancy Care Center. I have been able to counsel more during the summer with me being out of school. When schools starts back up, I will only be able to counsel maybe twice a month. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to stay involved in ministry and get the needed experience for the mission field.
