Entering the Season of Advent

Friends, the Christmas decorations are up and the trees are lit; what a wonderful time of year! It's a little different to be celebrating Christ's birth without snow on the ground, but we are thankful for the beautiful days here. Our school time gives us the opportunity to talk about why Jews (as a rule) don't celebrate Christmas and the what the loss of Christ as Savior and Messiah means. We can learn about different cultures and their expression of the holiday, always bringing it back to the truth of Jesus' virgin birth and the miracle God performed for His people.

As we enter into the Advent season, we ask that you continue in prayer for wisdom as we deal with our home in Laramie. It has been on the market for almost a year, and interest in it has dwindled over the past couple of months. We are working with an agent within the loan company to try to find a solution, and we ask that God would really make His way clear. Psalm 25:4-5 says, "Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior." We hold on to these verses, knowing that God is the only One who can see down this path He has carved out for us, trusting Him to reveal the next step in His time.

Thank you for your partnership in prayer, encouragement, and support. You mean a great deal to us!
