Hi! Michelle and I arrived in Ohio; Michelle`s parents house. All is well! Thank you for your prayers and support of us and the ministry at this time. We came back from MS to attend my brother Chuck`s wedding and to pick up Abigail. As many of you know, she has been staying with the Taylors while we took Jake to Ballet Magnificat and the girls to summer church youth camp in MS. We will be leaving for MS again on Sunday.
These days have proven very exciting for us. I thank God for His faithfulness and your connection with us as we make this transition. PTL!
SPEAK TO GOD ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER
In the book of Job 42:10, it says "After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before."
This past week proved very full for us. From checking out a school for the kids to searching for housing and meeting up with many wonderful people, we found ourselves on the go. Yet, in the midst of this kind of intensity, God lead us, on several occasions, to pray for someone else. When we obeyed God`s leading and prayed, it allowed God opportunity to supernaturally work in the lives of others.
In these uncertain, busy, challenging days we live in, I want to encourage you to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit and get involved in the lives of others. Do you remember Joseph? While in prison, he interpreted dreams for others. And when he did, God released him from prison to the palace. In the verse above, Job, when in the midst of the worst crisis he had ever faced, prayed for his friends, God reversed the curse and led him out of his situation.
In the midst of our daily routines, may God give us eyes to see in a new way and release the Glory of God into the lives of others. PTL!

3. Jake and his time at the Ballet Magnificat summer intensive ( spiritual growth and increased dance techniques) PTL... Jake was again chosen for the Pre-Professional Level. He is one of about 20 dancers chosen from 350 or so students. He is most excited about the story line which we have only heard in part so far. We have heard that the camp over all has been exceptional this year with many dancers asking for prayer for personal needs and really wanting to get closer to God. Michelle will begin sewing costumes for BM in ernest next week starting on Tuesday. It is a joy to be involved with such a great program.
4. Safe journey back to MS on Sunday July 3rd.
