- Job(less) update - My last official day of employment is 7/15 & we have resolved to not worry about the hunt for a new job until I get back from Ireland. This has been a good time for Sarah & I to prayerfully consider what God wants us to do with our lives. We still have a lot of questions and (dare I say) doubts, but we sincerely desire to learn and grow from this experience.
- Support Raising update - As of today, 88% of the support for the mission trip has been given. There is only about a $300 gap between the goal and what has been given so far. God has truly blessed us with a supportive and generous church family and it is such an encouragement to have people partner with me in this trip. I am so excited to see what God does with all of this in the coming weeks.
- Wristband update - I ordered and received the wristbands that I will be taking along to give to the kids at the basketball camp. They turned out really well and there will be enough to last several years for Todd (the missionary I'm going to help) to use.
- Long term missions update - We are in the 2nd phase of the application process with a mission agency for consideration of becoming full-time missionaries to Ireland. This is a very exciting opportunity, but it is also a little scary because of the huge change it would mean to our lives. Please pray for us as we continue to trust God to lead us.
Wow - this post is really full of random thoughts! Honestly, there has been so much swirling around in my head that it just feels good to get a few things out there. By the way, please feel free to leave any comments or questions that you may have and I'll do my best to respond.
I haven't even left for Ireland yet and I am already amazed at what God has done so far. It is such a blessing to see His hand at work and to be able to share the ups & downs along the way. Thank you for keeping the Bryant family in your prayers!
