Lima Beans and Waiting

Wow... the reality of "becoming" missionaries is really starting to take a little root in my heart. I can't imagine what that must sound like to anyone else. Let me try to clarify with a little picture. Do you remember in VBS or Kindergarten planting Lima beans? ... For what seems like so long you have a little Dixie cup with the dirt and the bean in it... you know the bean is in the cup because you drove it down in there with your finger and covered it back up, watered it, watched it, watered, watched.... finally, something green begins to show and there is no question of "what's that"? ..it's the LIMA BEAN! finally!... okay, now to make since of that illustration... we've been holding our Dixie cup of dirt for sooo long. We KNOW that God put a seed for international missions in there and covered it with Guatemalan soil and here we are... starting to see what the root has been busy doing. We are beginning to have support coming in and random things happening to bring us partners to join us in this GOD size endeavor! We are watching our little home in the west side of town being transformed , we have had yard sales( the last one tomorrow ) where we have sold 90% of our "things", we have been able to share our heart for Guatemala with several groups and lastly (my personal favorite) we have mailed out our FIRST NEWSLETTER. What mom doesn't enjoy sending info and photos of her family to 100 + of her closest friends every month? I LOVE IT!!! Thank you all for receiving the info and praying so faithfully for us ! WE FEEL IT!!!!!

My intention with this blog spot is to try to post on Sundays our praises , prayer request and just general news as we live out this crazy life of being transformed into international residents doing the very same sorta thing there as here... Loving Jesus and praying that our love for him draws others to an interest of knowing ,loving and serving him too! ( only in Spanish - hopefully sooner than later)

I hope that you enjoy the photos that I posted. They are pretty random but will catch you up to speed with what we've been up to and then things should make sense from here on out.

We love you all-

Livin' like Lima's
