Blessings!

We are in Kaua'i and have internet again!  We've had such a blessed past week.  After a month of trials we finally are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Thank you for all of your prayers!

Thank God we finally have a place to call home.  We live in Kaneohe, Hi right on Kaneohe Bay.  Our home backs up to the bay!  There's a beautiful reef with tons of ocean life.  The perfect place for my husband the explorer.  He's been on the bay more than he's been in the house!  I'll be sure to take pics/video and post as soon as possible.  Hopefully we'll be getting internet very soon.  Please pray we can make the rent each month : )

Also in the praise category...our good friend Kyle Henne got engaged this past week!!!  Please pray for blessings for his future marriage!

We had dinner this Sunday night in Honolulu with my parents best friends, Red and DeWanna Tarver.  It was so nice to catch up and see someone familiar.  They rewarded some employees with a trip to Oahu and Kaua'i for reaching their goals.  They called us on Monday asking if we'd like to join.  SO we are here in Kaua'i!!  It's so beautiful.  It's nice to have this time of relaxation after the month we've had.  All three of us being pampered in "paradise", ha.  We also walked into the hotel as John Travolta was walking out.  Yes, John Travolta.  Go greased lightening, go go greased lightening John Travolta.

What amazing people God has brought into our lives (Tarvers not John Travolta, ha).  It's amazing to see how God has sewn us all together.  The Tarvers are amazing people.  They are all about letting others know they are "worth it" and to pay it forward.  Just extraordinary people.  Please pray for their lives and safe travels back to Louisiana.

Last but not least, we are on our third car in a month.  The first, Jeep Wagoneer Woody, Phil had for just a week re-sold it and made $700 on it.  Second, a Range Rover we still have and hope to sell soon that is a great car but a little too expensive tune-ups for our lifestyle right now.  Third, we've had a huge blessing of a '96 Toyota Camry.  The family is military and counselors at a local church.  They are getting re-assigned to Texas and needed to sell their third car.  They were selling it for $1500 then $1000, then said they'd love to give it to us for $500, when we got to their home they said $300.  It's in immaculate condition.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.  The Lord has completely taken care of us at every angle.  Please pray for Him to continue to use us here in Hawaii and take care of us.  More updates to come!  Love you all dearly.

Timing is Everything

Hey guys!  Please keep us in your prayers!  It looks like we have found a home.  It's a six bedroom estate right on the water.  We are planning on going into it with another family that is from Hawaii.  We are also planning on hosting a "home" church on the estate.  There's a private studio perfect for guests passing through.  The estate is large enough for day camps, home church, fishing, gardening, or even hosting pastors or missionaries coming through Oahu.  There are so many uses for the home.  If you feel lead, we are taking offerings and donations to get this up and running.  Finally, we are not only finding a home but so many doors are opening for God's plan and perfect timing for our time in Hawaii.

Please email me if you need a receipt for taxes and of course Thank You in advance!!!  We love and appreciate all your prayers and support.  I'll keep everyone updated as soon as we find out : )
