(Click on title to view the full post)  This has been an interesting, waiting period!!! As we have gone various places to tell our story, we have basked in the privilege of having our family available to go with us and help us. But we have also realized that as we travel, and even as we speak locally, family members can't always just pick up and go! We have been spoiled, but that's nice.

Anyway, we are currently involved in preparation for being able to "go it on our own", just the two of us--Tom and me. That involves a lot more than we would ever have imagined. We have had to video, record, add photos, and are in the process of mixing the music that the girls recorded as a part of our media presentation. Videos have to be re-done (too much background noise) more pictures taken and included. There were so many technical kinks to work out-- I am amazed at the complexity of it all! But, hey-- we are learning.

The most important part of our learning is of the heart. Just what is our message? What is it that God is truly after? We have known from the start that its not just to tell a wonderful story. Jesus told a lot of stories, but each story had an objective. Our overall message is 'Restoration', but we are asking God to equip us to bring that to individuals, marriages, families and groups. We obviously can't do that in our own strength, or through our own resources. So this has also been a time to get serious about allowing God to do it His way. Its an on-going adventure.
