Where in the world is ...


After a few conversations of late, I've come to realize that I'm not very good at communicating our family's big picture plans. This blogging thing can be a bit tricky. Moments in time make it through, but the days do not always.

Here's what's going on with us:

*We are living in Scottsbluff, NE with my Dad. All our worldly possessions are in a little storage unit not far away or in the garage or unpacked here in 'our' little basement.

Aviano, Italy

*Our hope and plan is to move to Italy sometime in the early summer. Aviano, our destination, is in northern Italy just at the foot of the mountains. Rick says it's not so different from Denver in that regard. It's an Italian air force base about 2 hours from Vicenza (I'm just saying... Army friends).

Airplane school

*We are spending our days raising monthly support and large one time expenses that come with starting a new ministry.

*The four of us have spent many hours traveling since July. This last month has been nice and quiet and we've stayed here. The kids especially have needed the stability and consistency of unpacking. Next week, we are on the road again.

car school

*Is there one specific day of the month that you would pray for us and our preparations for the Aviano Hospitality House? We feel desperate for God's guiding as we travel and seek new partners. You can email or reply here if you are interested. I'll put your name on our calendar and email you a specific requests each month.

Temporal

Ethan calls this his sleeping cave.
His bed is criss-crossed underneath Em's bed.
Nothing says sleep like 'cave'.

Traveled through a gazillion small towns lately.
Seems to me this could be just about
anywhere in America.
For now it is ours.

2010 Chronological Read Through of the Bible Complete!

Such a focused understanding of God's big picture.
Especially lovin' the last three months of the NT.
Go Church!

The Scott family 2011 plan is reading
through books together
at breakfast this year.
Jan. = Colossians
Our passage to memorize: Col. 3.

Coincidentally, A Holy Experience has
a plan for memorizing the whole
book of Col. in 2011.

Whew!

The old is gone

Isn't it amazing...
how fun an old toy is
when it has been packed away
for months?
Love that!

Oasis

1. a fertile patch in the desert occurring
where the water table approaches
or reaches the ground surface.

2. a place of peace, safety,
or happiness in the midst of trouble or difficulty.


Thank you Susan Wise Bauer for your beautifully written history lessons.

Decorations are being put away.
Contentment settles in
as the first day back
at the routine
is almost done.
