We are so glad you have decided to check out our blog! As many of you know, the next nine months will look a little different in our lives as far as what God is doing and what our relationship will look like. Lane will be spending nine months in El Salvador with an organization called Global Year and Watson will be attending the University of North Georgia. We have decided to start this blog as a way for you to keep up with all that God is doing in our lives individually as well as together. We hope this will serve as an encouragement to each of you who read. Lane will be leaving August 28th to begin her journey in El Salvador, so we will begin our individual posts then. Our hope and prayer is that we will be able to effectively document and share all that God is doing in us as He continues to work and grow us towards Him. We also hope for any that are struggling with whatever it may be, that God will use this blog to encourage you by seeing Him move. Lane and I want to make ourselves as available as we possibly can be to serve each of you in any way possible. We have set up an email address (the address is at the bottom of this post) that anyone is more than welcome to send us an email at. We hope you will do so, so that we can communicate with you and pray for you in any way possible.
Philippians 1:4-6 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
These verses have been ones that we have held to in preparation for these nine months apart. These verses give us confidence that what Christ has begun in us, He will complete. We learn just from these verses that God is so faithful to us no matter what it may be. What God begins, He finishes. He doesn't stop halfway through or quit on anything. This is something we can hope in. That though our circumstances may seem otherwise, God is faithful to complete the work He began. What is amazing about this letter is that Paul is writing this from prison. And in his prison cell, he is able to pray and encourage his audience to take confidence and hope in the fact that Christ is faithful to complete what He starts in us - His promise of eternal life through His son Jesus. We believe this can also be applied to our lives today. Our salvation is a promise He is faithful to keep. For us personally, we believe that the work He has begun in our hearts for one another, He will be faithful to complete. We also believe that He will never leave or forsake us. If we learn to trust Him and not our plans or desires we can begin living in the true confidence that Paul desires the people of Philippi to have in Christ.
We love you guys!
