As you know Ruth and I just got engaged in February! It was such a perfect engagement and God provided in such amazing ways earlier than we expected. We have been prayerfully considering when we should get married and we feel that this October is the time. Needless to say we are very excited, but our excitement has not blinded us to the reality of planning a wedding and getting ready for married life. We are also both currently attending Bible College in York, England. This is our last semester of Bible College so we are working towards graduation. As you can imagine it can be easy to get overwhelmed with all the things we need to think through and get done.
We ask that you would continually be lifting us up in your prayers! God has shown us that without the power of prayer backing us up we find ourselves drained and discouraged. It has been amazing how God is already using this time to draw us closer to Him and to each other. He is calling us to trust Him and have faith in His ability. And because of our desire to please Him and glorify His name, Ruth and I have been striving to set aside time each morning to specifically pray for the future and for God's will to be done.
Therefore, we would like to pass on to you some of the prayer requests that we have been daily lifting up to the Lord. We would appreciate it if you too would keep us in your prayers.
Pray that...
Spiritually
- Jesus would continually be the focus of our relationship and that we would be glorifying Him in both thoughts and actions.
- He would be shaping us more into His image and the He would be making us a better husband and wife for one another.
- He would be greater than any circumstances in our life and that we would continue to trust Him.
- We would not be stressed out with planning the future and finishing Bible College.
- That we would be able to pick the date in October and that we would trust in God for good weather conditions.
- That He would provide for all the financial aspects of the wedding.
- That we would be able to figure out all the legal aspects of the wedding.
- That there would be people to help us with preparations... etc...
- That God would lead us where He wants us.
- That He would provide for all our needs and that we would trust in Him.
Praise God for
- The fact that we continue to grow closer together in Him.
- A great engagement and for the beautiful ring that He provided miraculously for!
- His great unexplainable peace despite future uncertainties.
- The great semester that we've had so far and that God continues to bless us.
- The encouraging support that we have had from friends and family!
God is so good and we know He will continue to be good!
We love you guys and if there is anything we can pray for then let us know! Thank you for your prayers!
