November was quite a big month for us Lams... :o)It all began with an incredible trip to San Diego, California. It was so surreal to be back in our homeland. A little south of our hometowns in the San Francisco Bay, but California nevertheless! About 33,000 gathered for the Call San Diego, to pray for the State, coming elections, and prop 8.
Every time I took a break from my meeting with students and parents at the Luke18 Project booth, my heart was gripped by the beauty of God’s presence in the stadium as people prayed. Even now, reflecting on it a month later, I am still touched to tears by the memory of it. I am so glad God invites us to pray and participate in the expression of His love and longing for a people, especially California.
After coming home, resting and acclimating to the prayer room from the trip, so much of Kansas City just felt right. My heart knew this was the place we are supposed to be as intercessory missionaries giving our days and nights to prayer and serving Luke18 Campus Prayer Movement. It was fitting that everything came together, quickly for the purchasing of our first home!
Excited and full of gratefulness, we moved into our new house over Thanksgiving week! WOW! The house is about 7 minutes from IHOP and about 5 minutes from our old apartment—which made the move gracefully smooth!By Wednesday night of Thanksgiving week, we already had guests over for Thanksgiving dinner! It was a joyful night, with so much diversity! We had southern pecan pie, a lemon-lime turkey, Amish style cranberry sauce, the best green bean casserole I’ve ever tasted, and Thai’s infamous yams. It was awesome—hectic with so many cooks in a new kitchen—but so much fun.
Another eventful day in November came on the 22nd--my 30th birthday! Thai orchestrated a day full of adventure, from Cheetah sightings at the Kansas City Zoo, to athletic challenges like ice skating. He coordinated (quite skillfully) a surprise dinner, and then a surprise after party! It was a really wonderful day!As November was a month of events and activity, our hearts were so grateful for all that God has done in the past year. So many of you, our readers, intercessors & supporters, make it possible for us to labor as intercessory missionaries helping to lead the Luke18 Project at the International House of Prayer. We are so grateful for you, and each of you are truly a gift of God to us as you partner with us in our ministry and our prayers are with you!
We pray your Thanksgiving was one of deep joy and gratitude, and hope for new blessings and revelations of Christ as we draw near to Christmas!
