Livin' on a Prayer

Josh left this afternoon on a road trip to the chilly, snow laden city of Akron, Ohio and the equally frigid Erie, Pennsylvania. He will be back next Wednesday/Thursday, depending on if the bus arrives before midnight or not. McKenzie and I are holding down the hotel room here in Bowie, praying that a family opens their home to us, very soon. 

This is the first time in my "baseball career" that I have no idea of where we are going to live. Before there has always been a friend of a friend, etc., but this year, the Lord saw fit to stretch our spiritual muscles a little bit and is asking us to trust Him completely.  

King David told the Lord in Psalm 142: When my spirit faints within me, you know my way. I admit that my spirit is feeling a little faint, but it is a comfort to know that our gracious Father knows the way and is guiding us down His perfect path. 

I know you are all praying faithfully for us, and we appreciate that more than words can say. Please continue to pray that the Lord guides us to the right "home" and that He strengthens Josh as he begins the season tomorrow. 

We pray that you have a delightful, joyful week anticipating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.

Steph, we put our N. Virginia "feelers" out for you today. Quinn has a friend from Bowie, so I just sent him and e-mail and we also know some people outside of Alexandria that might have contacts closer to Bowie!
