Our House is on the Market!...Sell it Jesus. :)

Well we put our house back on the market today with a great realtor. So it's up to Jesus to do it. As we all know the market is not in the greatest shape so we had to really come down on our price, but I know the Lord has a plan for us in it all. He is good! So please pray for us, we want what the Lord wants. Looking forward to all he has for all of us! Love you all, Kristal

2008 Retreat at the MountainTop Retreat Center

Well, I just returned from once again an AWESOME retreat!! We had 60 women come and the Lord truly showed up in such a big way..not that I'm surprised..every year He blows us away with his goodness. One lady gave her heart to the Lord and Heaven threw a big party because she was now saved. Her friend expressed to everyone how excited she was because she now gets to be her friend for eternity!:) It was very sweet! One other lady rededicated her life back to the Lord and the light literally returned back into her face and eyes...wow...what a difference Jesus makes in somebody. It is so crazy that the Lord is taking us out now....when I was there with these ladies, I felt more of a connection with them now more than ever...God's timing is certainly not ours that is for sure! I am truly going to miss them so much...every one of them is such a blessing to me. At the retreats, I really get to see sides of them you don't see on Sundays..I love it. I pray the Lord opens the door for me to do retreats again, I have such a passion for putting them together and then watching as the Holy Spirit leads the whole thing. I know he will in his timing..I trust you Lord! I am so grateful for the time I have had with all of them thus far, we have gotten to make some awesome memories! THANKS LORD! I will hopefully have some pics soon to post of the retreat! I am so amazed at where God has brought us all in the past 6 years....amazing.

Such a precious time, a daddy getting to baptize his little girl! Such a neat moment for the both of them, Acacia truly has a heart for Jesus. She is only 6 years old and shows so much interest and has so much knowledge biblically and about spiritual matters. I truly am blessed by her. What an awesome decision baby girl....follow with your whole heart, mind and soul! We love you.

Found some pics from last summer....

Wow time is passing quickly..just found some pics of the kiddos from when we had service @ the park...so precious...My strong little guy Elijah. He is going to do big things for Jesus. We have been reading about the prophet Elijah every day and he is learning where his name comes from and why we named him that. It has been a very sweet time with him I must say!

Happy New Year!! 2008

Well, This year is a year of New Beginnings....especially for our family! We started our church out here in Cave Junction in 2000-now 8 years later we are going to be leaving the Illinois Valley....interesting...8 means "new beginnings" in the Bible. We finally got to tell the church on Sun...such a relief. We have been keeping it a secret since last May for the sake of the body. Now with some details finally in place, we felt the freedom to share the neat things the Lord is doing with our little family. We are headed to Bend Oregon. We are excited yet nervous. The thought of starting over all over again is a little nerve wracking...but I know the Lord has great plans for us...Jer. 29:11. I loved the body at The Fellowship at Bend when we met some of them at family camp, so did Jeremy. We both felt very at home there. I pray the Lord sends us "extended family" as he has done here in CJ.

We will be moving most likely in May or June...so please pray for our home to sell and for us to find where the Lord desires for us to be in Bend. Our kids are excited...lots of changes for them too....I am thankful they are still so young in this move. Acacia is excited to be near Ellie her friend who lives there. She plans to read her lots of books! :) So all in all....we face this with joy and excitement mixed with some sorrow to leave behind the people who have become part of us forever......I am glad it is only 3 1/2 hours away from everybody!!!!:) Lots of house guests!~~~ Love you all...thanks for the prayers....Kristal
