Thanks for checking out our blog! Here is where we'll chronicle the "learning opportunities" God provides for us as we seek His will in partnering full-time with Christian Veterinary Mission in Bolivia

Cleaning out the junk

We are nearly completely moved out of our house and in to our snug little apartment!  Today we spent cleaning out the hay loft to create a "hideout" for Caleb and his buddies.  After that Caleb decided he wanted to cook.  We baked baguettes and made ratatouille--yum!
What does this have to do with our lives and ministry? Well, it is just the next stage of our life I guess.  We have cleaned out all our sentimental things and random things of life. Finally, there is the spiritual insight we have been waiting for!
What worldly baggage do we take before the throne?  Have we taken the time and emotional energy to sort through it all?  As we toss out, yard sale, recycle things we have clung to for years (do I really need a sweater from high school or bank statement from 1993?), I wonder how many idolatrous ideas and pointless things clutter my brain like our basement!  Pray that God will help us all to pare down our lives to keep Him first in everything!
Pray for us tomorrow as we have a luncheon at our church and present our ministry needs.  Also, pray for more opportunities to share our story and encourage partners.
