Christmas in July!

WE ARE BLESSED!!!
Joshua 24:14
"Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

We have been counting our blessing everyday! THANK YOU to all of our family and friends who have prayed, loved and wished the BEST for us during our seminary days and now through our transition in life! We feel VERY humbled and overwhelmed by the Lord's blessing on us! Please continue to pray for our trust in the Lord and that we don't listen to any worldly views on how we should live our life, but that we continue to keep our focus on the Lord's will for our life!

Let's catch you up: Brett got a job at Hope Community Church in Raleigh, NC as the College Pastor (check out their website: http://www.gethope.net). MaryMayes became a big sister on April 16th (Madelyn "Maddie" Moriah), Brett graduated on May 30th with his Master's in Divinity, we packed up all of our things in Cali and shipped them to Raleigh, NC (where it is currently in a storage unit), sold my Acura Integra (so hard to part from). So we needed another car for our family and a beautiful couple gifted us with a minivan for free in GA. WOW!!! We had a blast with our family in GA for the month of June and now we are currently in temporary housing in Morrisville, NC(for free ~ WOW) until our house closes this Friday (finger's cross everything goes smoothly). We will be living in Cary, NC. We are excited about getting our things out of storage here in NC as well as back in GA that have been stored since after we got married and moved to Cali! It feels like Christmas to our family!!!! We continue to THANK AND PRAISE the Lord for His provisions and His love for us as we continue to faithfully follow Him.
It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth.

Psalm 40:10
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.

We are soooo EXCITED about what ALL the Lord has done, is doing, and is going to do! We look forward to sharing our continued adventure! PLEASE COME VISIT US ANYTIME!!! Our home is your home! The Lord has provided it for us and we feel it is a place to share with everyone! You have a FREE place to stay and would love to introduce you to the church.

We will give you our updated information hopefully this weekend! Pictures will be coming soon!
LOVE,
Holly, Brett, MaryMayes and Maddie

Then he said to his disciples,
"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Matthew 9:37-38
