Pressing On

We have really enjoyed getting some rest this last week. Not having meetings is not our first choice, but it's been good for our little family to take a break. We would normally drop in on non-supporting churches and try to make contacts for future meetings, but we really felt we should just get charged up and ready for our next road trip. So, we've been attending services at our home church. It's been great and wonderfully refreshing.

Last Saturday we spent most of the day out and about. We stayed a couple hours at a park, where walked around, sat around, dangled our feet in the water and let the fish bite us, and just relaxed. It was great to be somewhere and nowhere at the same time, with definitely no worries about time and schedule.

Sunday was such a good, refreshing day. We so enjoyed being at home with our friends.

Today was a day of follow-ups, cold calling, and final work on our prayer letter. I had to "purge" the old distribution list. There were churches on there that I don't even remember anymore. I had to add a bunch of new churches as well. We've booked so many meetings in the last 2 months that it took me a while to get all of them added to the list. I am holding off on the the new churches that I won't be in until the spring of 2011. I spent a good chunk of time getting the necessary work done and I didn't have time enough to add the churches we won't be in for nearly a year. That will wait until the next prayer letter!

I was able to make some good contacts today, and scheduled one meeting in Texas. Praise The Lord!

Tomorrow will be mostly follow-ups in Wisconsin and Texas.

Tonight or tomorrow, we'll find out how our support is coming. We aren't expecting too much as far as new support, but it would be wonderful to be surprised!

We're also getting ready to get ready to be on the road on Saturday. Sometimes, we have to really motivate ourselves to get going. This next trip is going to be so long that it takes a bit more planning. For example, we'll be gone for nearly 2 months, and by then the weather will be changing. So, we pretty much have to pack everything in order to be ready for anything.

Ashley is continuing to improve in her sleeping and eating habits. It's been difficult on all 3 of us, but keeping her on a tight schedule is working very well. I put her to sleep just a few minutes ago and she'll be ready to wake up in just a little while to eat her 2nd supper!

All in a days work!
