A Look Back at 2007

Every year God shows His faithfulness to us in new ways. This past year was no exception. When faced with adversity God’s help prevailed.

In early March, Dustin was laid off from his production job which was supplementing our ministry income. Needless to say we were devastated, not so much about losing a job but more because we have a child to support. All we could do was pray and believe God to provide.

Dustin has always dreamed of working for Christ For The Nations, our alma mater, but the doors had never quite opened for him. After two and half months of looking for steady income, God gave us the desires of our heart and opened up a position at CFNI. He was hired as the Director of Recruitment and Director of Drama at the school. It’s a career that truly suits his passion because he has the opportunity to recruit students to attend the school that revolutionized his life.

Also, in June our son, Aidan turned 1. His life is such a blessing to us; he brings us so much joy and love. It’s amazing to watch him grow up right before our eyes. We try to cherish every moment.

Fall was quite busy in the performing arts area as we had the opportunity to lead the drama ministry that we were a part of when we attended CFNI. Back then it was called Creative Musical Drama. The new name for the ministry is “The Remnant.” We have the honor of teaching drama to amazing young people who love the Lord. This coming year will be quite exciting as we plan to take our students on an America Outreach Trip. We’ll keep you posted in the months ahead.

Over all, God has been faithful to provide for all our needs. Were there times we didn’t know where the money would come from? Sure. But we knew if we stayed faithful in the little things, trusted God, and continued to give, the Lord would do the rest.

As we look back at 2007 we can’t help but say “THANK YOU, LORD FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR US!”
