Decisions!

Lately, it seems that God has been opening many doors and giving Kelly and I much to think about in relation to our desire to be on the mission field in a full time capacity.  We have several mission agencies who have been in contact with us about possibly joining them.  If it were up to me I know which one I would go with but with so many doors opening we feel it is only wise to step through each one and see where they lead.  I have finally learned that I need to be willing to put my desires behind me and seek God's desire for me first and through this He will give me the desires of my heart.  We are presently talking with Wycliffe Bible Translators, Evangelical Baptist Missions, World Team, African Inland Mission, and Christian Missionary Alliance.  Each of these agencies have expressed interest in us and we are excitedly watching as God takes us on this new journey.  Please pray for us as we look at each of these ministries and try to determine which is the best fit for us.  Pray that God will give us clear direction and that we will listen to Him and not our personal desires.  Also pray for us as we try to pay off the remaining credit card that we have.  We need to have the balance below $1200.00 ASAP and the remainder paid off by June 2nd, we currently owe about $2200.00.  Without a job this is not going to be easy but God is faithful and has been providing us the income that we need to pay our bills.  Pray for Kelly and I as we look at our budget and try to find ways to spend less and pay it on the credit card.
