Holy Toledo...I mean Hawaii!

"What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Phil, Iggy, and I drove away from our house earlier this week to start our new journey in Hawaii.  It was snowing with six inches already on the ground.  Phil made the comment of how symbolic it was for us to be leaving and everything to be covered in white.  The last week has felt that way.  As if God has covered our lives in white, just full of pure blessings that could only come from Him.  Phil got into Hawaii on 1-11-11.  The following day he purchased our new 1987 Jeep Wagoneer with only 30k miles on it, haha!  Hopefully soon he will find somewhere for us to live.  

We are trusting God will lead us on this new terrain.  We had original plans for Hawaii but we should have known better.  You can't always "plan" when it comes to God's will for you.  So we are heading out there on faith.  Iggy and I will be in Kansas City for another week and a half.  Hopefully I can get everything wrapped up before leaving.  I sold my car this week so it's quite a challenge trying to get everything finished when I don't have the independence of my car.  The family that bought our Jeep Liberty blessed us with an additional $500 to help with our move to Hawaii.  Proof there are good...no, GREAT, people in this world.

Please pray for God's provision for our family as we start this new mission in our lives.  We are taking a huge leap over the pacific in total faith.  

Areas that we would appreciate prayer:  

• A home in Hawaii
• Health (a new doctor for Iggy in Hawaii that we love as much as our doctor here)
• Our sweet dog Hampton (that we are leaving in the care of our good friend Drew)
• Safe travel (Iggy's first plane rides)
• Finances (rent/food)
• God's plan (whether he has leading worship at a church or praying for strangers, whatever is before us)

Thanks for supporting us.  We love you and will miss you.  Please come visit ; )
