Oh, you may not know what I am talking about. We serve in a ministry called Apartment Life by C.A.R.E.S. (http://www.apartmentlife.org/) It is a wonderful ministry that allows one to serve in a way that is unique in the church. People in apartments are reported to be 95% unreached by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A Team moves in and develops relationships and begins to introduce people to Christ through their relationship. We work with the staff as well as the residents (The kids call them customers.). There are few better ways to have continuous contact with those outside of the faith.
Since the area we are in now has a sub par elementary school both our children are in a private school, which costs us a pretty penny each month. Apartment Life is a way to help offset some of the costs of me being in seminary but it has been costing us money each month. So I praise God that he has made a way for us to move. We do not know when or where to yet but if it could get done while the kids are away and before school starts that would be great.
Pray with us that a property will come open that has a good school nearby and a good place for Tre' to go to kindergarten. And that all these places will be close to my wife's work. I have been praying that God would tighten our circles. (Thanks for the word picture Wayne.) Life is hectic enough without having to drive for hours in the Dallas traffic. The daily struggles of just getting through are hectic enough but when we have to run all over the city just trying to expose our children to those things that will round them out as well educated adults.
Well it is all God's Amazing grace. In the next few weeks and months we need grace upon grace. Which reminds me of a story. The wife and I need to reconnect and communicate. Some much needed rest can happen and some important work can hopefully get done.
Watch and enjoy and thank God for his AMAZING GRACE!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMF_24cQqT0
