This isn't going to be a long, well thought-out post I'm afraid. No funny stories either (although I do have a couple that I'll share with you next time). I just wanted to ask you to take a moment and pray for us. We're doing fine, in that everything that's happening is something God can use. I've always said that when sin and strongholds are brought into the light, it's a good thing. Many of us spend too much time living with one foot in the darkness. That's certainly true here.
Just after I got back from travelling, I think my Facebook status was something about how it's crazy how much stuff can happen in two weeks. Those were some true words let me tell you. Some situations have come to light here that caught me off guard I'm afraid. Like I said, it's a good thing that we know what's going on, and that the people involved stepped up and were honest. But, wow...it still feels a bit overwhelming at times.
God is, as always, faithful, and I can see His hand in everything that's happening. He's bringing freedom and has already granted forgiveness. I just need wisdom on how to be a positive part of the work He's doing. There are moments when searching for the Spanish word to best express my feelings in some sort of coherent way just goes right out the window, and I'm pretty sure I'm just mumbling randomly in Spanish. At least that's how it feels. =)
So if you could pray for wisdom and peace for myself and those who are working here with me, as well as strength and wisdom for the guys who are dealing with different issues in their lives right now...that'd be great. We also need spiritual protection I think. There've been a lot of spiritual attacks lately with the guys. We took some time today to pray about everything and to make use of our spiritual authority, but some added prayer would be a good thing.
Thanks everyone! For those of you who are interested, I'll try to get around to posting some pictures of my trip. It was an amazing time. I came home feeling...well, maybe not rested exactly, but at least prepared and in a happy place. That was good...
To think that exactly a week ago I was crawling around, exploring a 12th century castle on the Mediterranean Sea. Ah life...

I'll put in a few extra minutes with the Big Guy for you. You know you are in the prayers of SO MANY people. We are always thinking about you. {And praying your Spanish gets better!}
