Journal of a missional mom, Entry #5: WHERE?

Talked to the IMB consultant again. There's a job that fits Cody's business skills in a place he told us not to name on the Internet. 

Seriously? 
WHERE?

Journal of a missional mom, Entry #4: Feeling insecure!

Oh, God, what have we done? (And I mean that as a prayer!) 
Met with the IMB consultant. Shared our call. 
He shared the process. Lots to think about: 
  • Getting out of debt. 
  • Staying healthy. 
  • Thinking about the kids.
We need to be sure. "No pressure," he says. 
I'm sure, I think. 
I'm also petrified.

What if I don't have what it takes???

Journal of a missional mom, Entry #2: What's next?

This is getting weirder. In the chaos of kids and breakfast and gettting out the door, Cody said this morning, "We need to talk." Met for lunch. He's feeling called, too. 

WHAT'S NEXT???

OPEN!!!

Journal of a missional mom, Entry #1: Go WHERE?

Weird thing happened last night in Bible study. 
Felt God say, "I still want you to go." 

GO WHERE?
