I am quite sure I am working purely off of adrenaline as I mad rush around the house finishing last minute cleaning projects, packing, and any other things that enter my mind that *need* to be done. I am pretty sure my kids think I am crazy :). In all of my madness, just the thought of Africa brings me to tears. I am anxious, nervous, excited, joyful and eager to experience God in a new way. My biggest desire and prayer is that I can love the way God loves. That through me, His pure love will be bestowed upon the people of Mozambique. I want nothing more than to be a vessel. To be what He desires me to be. I am nothing without God and I am nothing without His grace. What an honor that God sees me fit to show His love in this way. My prayer is that I can do this humbly and selflessly. All the honor, all the praise, all the glory belongs to HIM. We are so excited to go on this journey. Thank you for going with us....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I chose a family photo and scripture for each month. <br />
<br />
Tonight, I flipped from August to September. My eyes immediately were drawn to the photo, which is one of my favorites of Jake and I. <br />
<br />
Then, they moved over to the scripture I had chosen. <br />
<br />
<b>"Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19.</b><br />
<br />
<i>The Great Commission</i><br />
<br />
Last January, Jon and I had no idea we would be headed to Mozambique, Africa during the month of September. We did, however, <b>PRAY</b> our willingness to go where He lead.<br />
<br />
It has been just overwhelming watching God work through every detail of this opportunity. From the prayers and support to the care of our children, He has provided a smooth road. Watching our dear family and friends <b>WORSHIP</b> God through us by their prayers and support has literally brought us to tears.<br />
<br />
Thankful. Times Ten.

<br />
"I'll go. I'll show<br />
The power of your love<br />
The world. Will know<br />
The power of your love"<br />
<br />
And that's what we are jumping out of our seats to do. After years and years of recognizing the desire and impression on our hearts designated towards outreach and missions, we have our first opportunity to "go". And we are going to Mozambique, Africa. How awesome is that?! <br />
<br />
We are beyond words to be given this amazing opportunity to share God's love. Where we feel unequipped, we know that He will equip us. Where we feel unskilled, we know at he will provide the tools. Where we feel a language barrier, we know the Spirit will work through our actions. We know and trust that HE is in this all. And He will provide all that is needed. <br />
<br />
We are asking for prayers. Lots and lots of prayers. Please pray specifically that God will be working in our hearts, preparing our hearts and minds for what's to come. Pray for our health, leading up to the trip and during the trip (we have received our immunizations, but are still at risk for malaria and other sicknesses). Pray for our children, as we will be away from them for over a week. And please pray for our financial efforts as we raise money. <br />
<br />
We are so excited to share this journey with you and can't wait to see the way that God will use us to show His love. <br />
<br />
XO, <br />
Jon & Erin<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I resolve to grasp the true meaning of the verse...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Be Still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We Wiensies love to talk. We love to laugh.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The word, "shhh" is often heard in our home because one of the kids is being too loud. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year, I desire for the word, "shhh" to have a different meaning. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I long for an understanding of being quiet in a way that's different than just not being loud.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I long for my children, my husband and especially myself to learn to be "still". </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Why did she shock me? Well, what some of you may not know about Lexie is that she is very shy and does not like attention from anyone other than her family members. During the church performance she freaked out and her teacher had to hold her the whole time. Seriously sad day :( and she was all dolled up and knew all the songs and movements, but was too scared when facing 1500 people. So, I didn't expect anything different during her preschool performance. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">But, she did it. And she sang her little heart out and did all the moves.

She would run excitedly to me, reach for her next ornament, run excitedly back to the tree, hang it and start the process all over again. I found myself taking ornaments off the tree, just so she would have more to hang.</span><br />

Ran out of lunch items for kids to take to school. Lunches consisted of pb&j, a fruit strip and 3 pink marshmallows (leftover from baby shower)<br />2. Lexie decided to have 2 meltdowns. I chose my battle (allowed her to wear clothes that were mis-matched, but was firm about fixing her hair)<br />3. Getting Lexie into her carseat was a battle times two<div>4. Lexie messed up her hair while I was putting her into the car seat<br />5. Dropping off Lexie in her classroom was equally relieving for both her and I<br />6. On way to Walgreens to pick up card for friend and realized I left my debit card in back pocket of jeans worn day prior<br />7. On way back home to get debit card, I saw a dead cat on road that was very similar in color to our family cat, Woody<br /><br /><em>Then the day perked up :)</em><br />1. Celebrated my dear friend Carey's birthday amongst other friends at Paradise Bakery for breakfast<br />2. Received an apology phone call from Lexie "Mommy, I say I sorry, love you."<br />3. Went to lunch at NYPD Pizza with friends - and enjoyed a thrilling ride there<br />4. Held a newborn baby<br />5. Ate lemon cake for above mentioned friends' birthday<br />6. Had fun night at church<br />7. Walked in the door from fun night at church was greeted by my sweet cat, Woody.<br /><br /><div align="center">Wonder what tomorrow has in store :)</div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11079456074664950972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319896608335940493.post-71251496957349762872010-09-29T19:11:00.000-07:002010-09-29T21:21:46.032-07:00Let's try this again.
