Our VG family has been through a wild journey over the past two years and we have greatly appreciated the prayers and encouragement we have received from friends and family. Thank you!
Update on the VG family: We are doing great. Hannah is finishing her senior year and recently got her license, looked fabulous as she attended prom, and is in the process of getting her first job. She graduates May 24. Hailey continues to lead wherever she is at and makes everyone she is around better. She serves as the upfront leader of the improve section of a 5th/6th grade ministry. Zach is making friends and playing basketball on a competitive team where he has finally found someone his age that is taller than him. Kris is doing amazing and has been blessed with a full time job that has provided for our financial and health insurance needs.
In the last 3 weeks, we have felt God leading us to ramp up the intensity in our job search for the next place that God has for us. We are working with 2 job placement agencies and talking to numerous churches about their open positions. We have also sensed from the Holy Spirit that the next 30 days are important for the next season that Jesus is opening up for us. During each time of transition we have invited people to join us as we seek to hear God’s voice clearly for where He wants us to be and this time we wanted to invite people and humbly ask people that love and care about us to pray for us – for us to hear clearly, for us to see the things that we need to see, for our kids’ hearts to be prepared for a potential move, and for the place we are going to be prepared. We highly value people’s prayers on our behalf and are excited to see what God has for us.
The invitation:
Option A: Pray for us when you think about us that we hear clearly, that we follow God boldly, and that all of our hearts and minds are ready for whatever He has for us. We will update on social media on a weekly basis.
Option B: Commit to praying for us each day. Pray for our hearts to be soft and aware of what God is doing and where He is leading. If you commit to praying for us each day for the next 30 days we would love to communicate more specific prayer requests like interview times, specific hurdles/questions, and decisions of next steps. Humbly, we ask that if you want to commit to this that you take it seriously, as we move forward in the next 30 days. If you would like to let us know that you are praying for us with Option B, we will be making a closed Facebook group where we will share more details of what is happening in the process. Please email [email protected] or send a message on Kris or I’s Facebook page and we will include you in that group.
Thank you all again for the prayers and support. We are more encouraged than ever that God is inviting us into something incredible for the next season of your life and we value all of the wisdom and support that we can get.
