here and there

Hey all!

Sorry there haven't been many pictures since the first week- I will do a whole 'before-after' and some scenic stuff once we get somewhere that you can tell from a picture- i think right now it would be "oh hey, you put that bottle over there!" which isn't worth a picture.

well how about some amazing providence stories instead!!

We have been blessed to get to know some people who love the Lord in the area! One is an artist (yay!) and she is interested in a collaboration of art movement like myself (bigger yay!) so as i get more settled we will see how to go about drawing artists together- especially to the Glory of God.

We also met someone who does tiling professionally and will tile our bathroom and shower for us!!! this is extremely exciting and, one day, when you see a picture- you will understand why. He even had some beautiful blue/green collage type strips from a job he just finished that we can use! I knew a big remodel of the bathroom wouldn't be a financial priority so i am thankful for the Lord blessing us in this obviously unneeded way.

I started a grant writing class today and will finish it tomorrow- it goes through how to find foundations that will fund the projects you need and how to write the grant properly! If you have time and are gifted in writing this is an excellent way to bless a ministry you care about- there are millions of dollars in grants that can be applied for. So i am hoping to help the camp in that way.

We will be insulating the house this weekend- it has insulation that is about an inch thick so we will be adding to it and then dry-walling. - no chimney yet for our wood burning stove but that will come and *hey, chris got rid of our atrociously ugly pink toilet seat so there is a lot to be thankful for.

Missing friends in Indiana! especially the many listeners and collaborators and Bethel! :)

Please pray! Pray for funds for the camp to finish up some big projects this winter- the biggest being their chapel - the "tabernacle" and for safety for Chris and those that help him work on it. I think my first grant will be a request for funding the renovation and tech-update of the office so please pray for clarity of thought and that it will be accepted.

Finally please continue to pray for growing friendships here that are encouraging and challenging :)

more to come-
