An Evans Update

An Evans update : We are praising the Lord for his goodness to us during this entire process of support raising ! We have never gone hungry, slept out in a cold night or had to give away or sell anything that has truly mattered. The ONLY exception might be David's 68 convertible red Mustang that we sold to a man in New York.... that was VERY hard for David. That was his first car and the car that we took out for our first date ! Another married couple in town also had their first date in it ( J & L) ... good memories but God only asked us to let go of the things. He is so gracious in allowing us the wonderful memories forever. 

As David and I continue to walk through "last" events, holidays,etc... I often forget that our children are processing the same type emotions. This weekend our "older" 3 are at Disciple Now weekend with their youth group. They were so excited ! I was caught a little off guard when one said to the other... "can you believe that this is our LAST Disciple Now weekend? " It is hard to imagine but by the time that we have served our first term in Guatemala our boys will be graduating and heading off to college or jumping right into life...They are such amazing children growing into beautiful "big" people. We are grateful for everyone who has invested time into our children. They are Gods' work ...for His purpose and for HIS glory ! 

Our support is raising and I will try to give an accurate percentage on Monday when we receive our report. We have been blessed to have several speaking opportunities this month and in March. We are seeing that the Lord could truly be calling us out as early as June ! This is INCREDIBLE to think about. After listening for the Lord in regards to missions...taking LOTS of short term mission trips..we are embarking on 10 years of waiting to be sent out onto the mission field ..... some days it just feels like we need someone to pinch us...other days it feels like they pinched us ..hard ! Either way , there is no mistaking this great call God has put on our lives. As our support continues to climb we are reminded that we were not created to be self serving or self seeking but to be surrendered and submitted to the one and only TRUE God! Peace, joy and contentment come for us daily and we are experiencing in abundance when our eyes are fixed on the Lord ! 

Peace to you from our home to yours tonight. And , for everyone who has children at Disciple Now this weekend .... WELCOME HOME ......(the theme for D.Now),
