The last post, the last stop.....

Greetings! We have been enormously blessed by many of you who have commented here or sent us emails with encouragement and prayers for the upcoming journey. Thank you.

This picture is basically how we're feeling today.....it a loooooonnnnnnggg way down......a long ways away.......

And now, here we are with three days left and so relying on the Holy Spirit to fight for us. We've come up against a bit of difficulty with shipping our stuff over as we have Tim's piano and guitar to ship and we are still praying for a buyer for our car. Money is tight, but God has answered all our prayers in the past regarding this journey, so we expect nothing less than His gracious, undeserved provision once again.

After praying for a sign from the Lord that He was on the move in our finances this month, I got an email from my naturopath that floored me.

You see, I have one more appointment with her before we leave for the Philippines and that visit was to include a pap smear (ah yes, the dreaded test for the offspring of Eve.....) and yet, I have been on my period for over a month now! AHHHGG! So the pap smear was canceled, but the doctor and I felt like I needed to check in and get a few supplements that I would not be able to purchase in the Philippines.

Given the kind of week we've had, I was a little hesitant to continue with the plans to see her not knowing how much the visit and the needed supplements would cost. I quickly prayed and asked the Lord to give Tim and I wisdom as to whether we spend the money it would cost or find an alternative. I wrote my naturopath asking for a rough estimate of the cost and she e-mailed me the sweetest note. I was so humbled and blessed.

In it she asked if she could pay for my needed supplements and the office visit as a donation to our ministry! I was overwhelmed. Encouraged and full of joy......Once again, God had provided exactly what I needed and humbled me in the process. Wow. What an incredible gift and I am stunned at the generosity and kindness of my naturopath!

With God taking care of all the details, I know that the car will sell and the money will come. God is so good.

His faithfulness astounds me and His grace makes me cry.

As this is my last post before I write from the Philippines, I thought it appropriate to re-direct people to our new blog site that will follow our journeys around the Philippines. It is : www.theadventuresoftimandbethany.blogspot.com

We will begin posting upon arrival to the Philippines July 9, 2007. Our flight leaves Vancouver at 10pm and arrives in Davao City Monday afternoon.

Please keep us in your prayers as there is much to accomplish and we need favor with immigration officers, shipping companies, airlines, and banks.....whew! Here we go!
Be blessed.
