On the MOVE again . . . Wanna help?!

Thursday afternoon and we are in the midst of boxes. . . watching to make sure Natalie does not get a hold of the wrong thing . . . working on finalizing some messages for a youth camp next week . . . while still working at Lighthouse and Starbucks. I guess this sounds like a normal day in the life of us little Whetstones except for the "boxes" part (or maybe that sounds familiar?!). In any case, long story (which will come later) short (for now) - We are moving back to Kansas City!

Well, as one can read in our past blog, we went to Italy on a soccer missions trip . . . while still waiting to hear if we would be offered any sort of missionary contract through World Mission (Church of the Nazarene) . . . to then be offered a "Missionary Contract". We currently do not have a destination as "Intern Missionaries" however, we will be moving to Kansas City August 12th to begin training/seminary courses August 28th.

We will be posting a lot in the next couple months and if you'd like to keep us in your prayers here are a few items of immediate prayer:
1. Packing up our house and the entire moving process from Daphne, AL to Kansas City, MO.
2. Classes which begin 28 August with our first module class on Mission Strategy- which by the way requires a pre-requisite reading of approximately 1200 pages, and around 4 papers.
3. Saying goodbye to our friends and church family here on the Alabama South District and Lighthouse Church of the Nazarene.
4. Beginning our deputation/speaking engagements. (We do have available weekends this fall.)
5. The entire "site choice" process as we are still "undeclared" (doesn't that sound so Freshman collegeish?) and will be continuing dialogue with different regions.
6. The sale of some of our furniture and household items. . .
7. Yet another transition and what the future holds as we do our best to continue to seek His face for direction.
8. For Lighthouse Church whom we will be leaving.
9. For who the Lord will bring us in contact with in the future.
10. Our families . . .

For now, if you're in the area we could use your help. If you're far away, we could use your prayers. If you're somewhere in between . . .

We are eternally grateful to everyone, and we know that we have nothing to fear of the future for He is not only with us today, but our Lord is already there in the future beckoning us to come on and be a part of what He is already doing!

Until next time . . .
