6 days

Dear friends,

today we are six days apart from the time Josh is supposed to be home. We are so excited, so happy to finally see and hug our special treasure. Josh will leave on the 2nd and be here in the evening of the 3rd. We, on the other side, will be taking a bus Wednesday evening and travel all night to be in Sicily the morning of the 3rd. So keep us in your prayer as we travel for protection and safety.

The time with my family was hard and good but now I am ready to get together with my other half.

Once in Sicily we'll be looking for a house, try to figure out what to do with our car(since as you remember it was hit and destroyed one of the last day in Sicily), we have to sign the kids up for school, we have to move all of our furniture and many other things. So this month will be packed...pray ,please, for strenght and energy.

The sooner we can figure all these things te sooner we can  take a couple of days just for the family.

I am grateful to God because this time went faster than expected and because he gave me strenght day after day and especially when it seemed even harder and didn't think I could make it anymore.

Thanks to you all my friends that have kept us in your prayer.

God bless you

You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Cor.6.19-20

God created us to live with a single passionto joyfully display his supremeexcellence in all the spheres of life. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.

Starting to blog

With today I am going to

start putting up updates about our family and our lives spent serving the Lord in Italy.

As we get ready to start a new church plant in Sicily, the Lord has done ...strange things around us, but we are confident that everything is for our good. So while Josh is in the States raising support I am staying at my parents's house in Puglia(south east coast of Italy). 

Last night Hannah, Benedetta and I travelled by train coming back from the north visiting some friends and celebrating the marriage of a dear sister in Christ.

God is amazing in how he takes care of us. On the train a strange guy came into our cabin and sat down and closed the door and the curtains...and I was super scared....The whole time I was praying that God would bring in the people that had the reservation.  At a certain point I almost went out and asked one of the italian guys outside if they wanted to come in. God is good! At 1.30 a family from Bari came in and they filled the cabin I was so thankful!!!

So we are home now and getting ready for josh to come in only 23 days....
