Radical

I just found this book again recently and I am re-reading it.  It is called Radical by David Platt.  Watch this video - it is pretty raw and well...life changing.

Radical

Lord, please continue to break my heart for what breaks yours...

Today I saw a man on the side of the road.  He was crippled, clearly.  He was asking for food, not money. Then I saw the lights on the cop car - flashing bright it pulled over and a woman got out.  I don't know what she said but I imagine she told him to get out of here, you can't ask for things here, it's illegal.  My heart sank I'm sure he had no where to go, no roof over his head, no food on the table, no family - but maybe he did.  That wasn't for me to know right then.  All I knew was that my heart hurt.  My friend said it best today, "they are people, not objects to be tolerated."  There is so much pain on the sides of the road, so much pain in this world.  I pray that God will continue to move Brett and I and our family into the mission field in the years to come.  Lord come, bring us every day new mercies and grace for those in need.

Just wanted to post this because I'm SO doing this for the girls! =))

Praying

We have our lead paint/pipe inspection, 4 point home inspection and our termite inspection tomorrow.  Praying for all to go well and there isn't any major issues to be addressed.  If it all passes then we will be ready to move ahead with closing.  We are scheduled to close on April 30th but we will be able to close much sooner if everything goes well tomorrow.  So please pray with us as we ask God to protect our new house.

As far as our current house goes, we had our apprasal today.  We should know what it's going to come in at in a few days.  Praying for the right number so we can list it on MLS and hopefully get a few bites.  We have 3 people we know are at least semi interested at this point which is a huge blessing.  We know that God has this under control and we are trusting in him to help us sell our house.  He always provides and we know he will walk with us through this time in our lives as we strive to serve him with all our hearts.
