The latest.

Have you ever felt like you had to do something even though you're not sure you want to? That seems to be my first response when people ask me why we are moving to Columbia. Above all else it is a feeling that if we don't go we will be in direct disobedience to God. I don't want to be in that place. As it is I spend too much time trying to control anything and everything.

I am resigned to the fact that we won't know what God has in store for us until we move. God's timing is also at play. If we had tried to move last year at this time we would be carrying a bunch of debt along with us. Today we no longer have credit card debt, we own our cars, and what's left is manageable. How freeing is that.

We are planning to visit Columbia at the end of May. We will try to find a place to live, visit a few churches, and scope out the city. We are planning on having Kara's parents keep the kids so we don't have to entertain them while we are there. My hope is that during this visit before we move out there we will get a glimpse of what lays ahead of us. Please keep us in your prayers. We hope to establish some contacts and get a little more grounded about where we are moving to.
