Northern Ireland Update 4

We were truly blessed by our friends and family on our wedding day.  We had so much fun and loved the worship time during our wedding ceremony.  We spent 5 days in Edinburgh, Scotland that were absolutely great.  We are now back at Beki's parents house trying to find a place to stay for a couple weeks.  Dad dropped off paperwork at the lawyer's office as soon as they returned home so now we are just waiting for our interview to get scheduled in London.  We are praying for a quick return home and finally get settled in our house.

Beki and I started reading Colossians together.  This morning I was challenged by the power and purpose in Paul's prayer and words.  I want to leave you with this passage as food for thought today.  May these words, may this hunger, and love for people be an essential part of our lives.

"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.  May you be strengthened with all power, according to this glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light." - Colossians 1:9-12
