Emotions

I am happy to say that a decision has been made. We are going to pursue coming back to Austria long term. This definitely has not been an easy decision to make but is something that we believe that God is calling us to. When I think about the decision that we have made, many emotions go through me: excitement to continue living life here in a job that we love and with people that we care about, sadness for the family and friends that we will be apart from and only see every couple years, happiness that Naomi will grow up bilingual, bummed that we will be living in an apartment for the duration of our time in Austria, nervous for how we will adjust back to life in the states while we are there for a minimum of six months, curious how God will provide housing and a vehicle to use during our time there, not looking forward to support raising again but excited to see how God will provide. Overall I am happy about the decision that we have made and am excited and curious to see how God will use us in the future. We would definitely appreciate any and all prayers while we are going through this transition process. We are needing to go through a new application process, bring a lot of things to a close, and prepare for things in the states. In the mean time we will also be preparing for English Camp. Please also be praying that we will find someone that will be interested in our furniture and things here considering we will not be able to store very much. Please also be praying for our relationships with those here, as we will be away for a while. A big prayer request is for the youth group here. We will not be here in Austria next semester already since we are leaving in August and two of the other leaders will be quitting in the fall as well. Which just leaves one so please be praying that God will provide those to take our place, preferably Austrians :) I thank you for all of your prayers and support!
