What a week!

Well, the first day of a very busy week is winding down. We got some good news today though; our duplexes in Alabama are not closing until May 15...so, nothing we have to do with that this week.

Okay, so we are moving on Sunday...which isn't awful because I have been packing for a month...but, which isn't great because we have a student event, UPRISING, all weekend. I am super pumped about the weekend, just not that it is this weekend. I do wish we had more students coming because it is going to be unbelievable, but I MUST trust that God's presence will abound whether there are four students or four hundred students. Lord, please teach my heart to trust you more. Do amazing things in front of my face. Do things that are bigger than me in the lives of these students.

So, we are moving to a tiny little apartment. Why I am bummed: we can't have seven04 at our home each week...not enough space...we have to pack some things away (not the end of the world)...we won't have a kitchen table to eat on (no space)...Why it is good...we can continue to do some of the things we are called to do without the stress of finances...Buck & I get to do this together...another opportunity God gives us to trust in His plan, purposes, and goodness.

So, I am trying to remember that everyday is glorious, because I am a child of my God, because I speak daily with the creator of everything around me:

Everything Glorious, David Crowder Band

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter is than its hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And, I am Yours,
What does that make me?

My eyes are small, but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
There's life enough to see, that

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And, I am Yours,
What does that make me?

From glory to glory, You are glorious, You are glorious
From glory to glory, You are glorious, You are glorious

Which leads me to believe
Why I can believe

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And, I am Yours,
What does that make me?

Lucas Update

This from Farah

Today the doctors reported amazing news! Lucas is in remission!!!!!!!!! After 3 weeks!!!Friday before last he was at 50 percent leulemia ridden bone marrow. Today the results from this past Friday show one percent. As of right now, he will continue chemo, but he has not had to receive a transfusion since he came home from the hospital. God is hearing your prayers. Please continue to lift up the Tigers and add praises!!!!

Pray for Lucas Tiger

Lucas is the seven year old son of our very good friends, David and Tanya. For those of you who do not yet know, he was diagnosed with leukemia on Friday, March 31st and received his first chemo treatment on Saturday morning. He is scheduled to be in the hospital at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital for the next several weeks. This mornings update was that he was having extreme head pain and convulsing and required morphine at 9pm yesterday. We are praying for Dr. Irwin that he will have the wisdom to know if this is from the leukemia or from the chemo and he will be able to help Lucas. Please continue to pray for Lucas and the entire Tiger family.
