Hello again! As always time seems to fly; our trip is now only two short months away. I (Kimberly) know April and May will go by fast. My students will have their dance recitals in April and May is a huge coffee event month for our family business.

Through continued support and total trust in God with our funding;  Im  happy to share with you some exciting news, we are over 90 percent funded! We want to thank all of you who have so selflessly supported us, whether it be through donation or prayers.

With June quickly approaching we are just continuing to ask for prayer. Satan is on the prowl and doesn’t want this awesome experience to happen but our God is bigger and will guide us away from any road block that will come in our path.

Proverbs 3:56 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your way submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

When trusting in Christ, our faith will deepen and continue to grow.

My GNO girlfriends got together with me (Debbie) on Tuesday of this week to celebrate my 50^th birthday at Applebees (which is on Saturday).  They gave me new tennis shoes to take when we walk around as well as a beautiful cross necklace to wear.  They told me, “When you wear this think of us praying for you and Kimberly, every day while you are in Taiwan.” We will!!!

Another friend was over getting her haircut and blessed us not only with a monetary gift but also with her testimony of how she and her husband came to give it to us. She had determined in her mind what she wanted to give to us. She had prayed about it and talked with her husband who said, “Where is that going to come from?” She said, “I don’t know, but I feel that is what we are supposed to give.” Shortly after that her previous employer contacted her.  She had taken early retirement and most of her pension money had been able to be rolled over into another IRA, however a portion of it wasn’t available to be rolled over.  I already had tears in my eyes before she said, “Do you know, that is the amount I had determined to give?”  I believed it!  Our God is so awesome.  This is the card they gave us plus the necklace from my friends.

We are also praying for my cousin, (who was the flower girl in our wedding 30 years ago) and her family.  They are over in Taiwan right now preparing to bring their little guy home; http://thelordgoesbefore.blogspot.com.  Please pray with us that their paper work will be processed smoothly and they will have their family home in the states soon.  I told her, as much as I would love to see her when we are over there, I sure hope we don’t!
