Since last writing, the Lord has led us away from buying the house and into patience for a future home. As great as the story was, we are thankful that God was faithful in helping us test and approve what His will was for us. Thanks for joining us in prayer as we processed what our move or not move was going to be.

One of my (Lindsey) favorite things about spring is New Leader Training (NLT). Although it exhausts us and occupies a lot of our energy until the end of the school year, I love watching the eager men and women process how to center their life around Christ and how to carry that out to the men and women that in their classes. This year we have 37 men and women going through NLT. On top of the normal 8 week sessions on Wednesday, we opened our schedules for a 3 week intense sessions on Sunday afternoons for the men and women who will be on Co-op next quarter. As it is joyous the celebrate the lives that can/will be transformed, I can't hold in the excitement that I am experiencing about the 22 women that are going through it. I pray a lot about the women's ministry and for women of strong faith to come and lead a life for Him. They are here! Their stories for signing up are from I want to know how to share my faith without scaring people away, to I want to know scripture and memorize it, to I have a gift to lead and want to lead others. I cannot help but dream drams for what next fall is going to look like for these women. Their faith is showing where they can be.

On a lighter note, Lily and Moerlein are having fun in the loads of snow we have had. They really have become the best of friends and sisters.

Later days
