God's grace

Everyday is a lesson on God's grace. I often miss it. I'll let a day go by without really cluing into how His grace shaped my day. And then every so often something big comes along and suddenly I'm awakened once again to how gracious He really is.

We're at a point now where we need to hold off on any more trips to Ireland until we get more money raised. At first, when we were faced with it, I was pretty bummed. Ireland is where we are supposed to be and every time we go the connection grows stronger, so the thought of staying away for a longer time than usual pained us.

But here's the thing. What is really needed is for us to get moved to Ireland full time. In order to do that we need to have a certain amount coming in every month and have a certain sum in our account to cover all the costs of relocating. So God's grace has come through by helping us to focus our attention more acutely on that goal.

And His grace will see us through as we continue the climb up Mt. Fundraising. We shall reach the summit and what a view it will be!

I was just thinking about you guys! Can't wait till your're here for good! I'm bummed I didn't get to really chat with you this last time around. I'm praying the next time will be very soon & we will be sitting on your couch in Ireland :)
