Great news!

We have had a grace-FILLED week here at the Weber house! On Monday, we received two offers on our house, of which, we accepted one. Being scheduled to close on the house June 7, our plan was to find a rental to house us from June-September. In September we were scheduled to go to 6 weeks of cross-cultural training at the Center for Intercultural Training (CIT) in Union Mills, NC, and then depart for Uganda. 

On Tuesday, we received an email from CIT informing us that there was a slot available in the June/July training. It would start June 8 (the day after we close on the house). Would we be interested? We could not believe how perfect the timing of this email was. If we had gotten the email a few days before, we would have turned it down, because our house wouldn't have been sold. If we would have gotten the email a few days after, we would have turned it down, because Mark would not have been able to give adequate notice at work. The offer came on the perfect day! We accepted, and are now scheduled to go to training in June.

I have been humbly reminded that God cares about ALL the details, and has EVERYTHING in His Hands. While I would readily profess this, my heart is prone to doubt and wander. Thankfully, "if we are faithless, he remains faithful - for he cannot deny himself." (2 Timothy 2:13). 

The task now is to figure out what to pack into our 20' container that will be shipped to Uganda, and to get rid of the rest. We'll then live out of our suitcases for 3 months while we attend training, and then travel around visiting with friends and family.  We hope to leave for Uganda in late August. 

In no particular order, please pray for:

1. Wisdom regarding what to take and what to leave.
2. Grace and willingness to be flexible.
3. Freedom from fear and anxiety.
4. That we would think, talk, and act in a way that demonstrates how good Jesus is.
