As I write this blog entry the kids are in bed and the dishes are done, at least to my expectations. Brandee might think differently, but on this night it appears the daily duties of house and home are coming to a close. So, now with a full day behind me I thought I’d try to give you a quick snap shot of what I am thinking about this evening.
Our family schedule is just about to open up a bit as the boys will be completing another season of basketball on Saturday. They have both done a great job and we are very proud of the boys God has given us. I never thought it would be so much fun being a Dad and a coach. Even though we like basketball we are looking forward to having a couple evenings a week and all day Saturday to work on the seemingly insurmountable to-do list.
A couple of the big things on the to-do list are: finding renters for our house, acquiring health insurance for a family of 5 going to the Middle East, and securing financial support.
- The house rental issue is a big thing and we have been praying that the right renters would find us. We would prefer not to have to use a property management company, so if you know of anyone looking for a house let us know
- Health insurance would be easy to purchase except for the past health issues of our eldest son, so pray for insight as we look for the right insurance company that covers preexisting conditions.
- The financial piece is moving forward, although not as fast as we’d hoped. We are about a third of the way to our goal – which went up $20,000 since our initial letter. So if you are planning to financially support us, it would encourage us to see those support cards come in.
In all three of those areas we would greatly appreciate your prayer as we move forward with our plans in faith and hope.
Thanks for reading.
Travis
