This is the day that for almost a year now, I never thought would come… but finally, it has arrived! I'm sitting at the airport with my awesome team and leaders as we are getting ready to fly out to San Salvador, El Salvador! Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my team prayerfully and financially.  You have been a major part of equipping me to share the love of Christ with the country of El Salvador.  I could not be more grateful for your generosity and support.

God has already been at work the past couple days throughout our orientation/training time.  He is beginning to reveal to me what total dependence and surrendering my ALL to Him every day looks like.  I could not be more excited to see how He continues to move and tear at the strings of my heart.  He is so faithful. So loving. So merciful.  

Here's a little truth that I am clinging onto and proclaiming over the next eight months.  

Psalm 34:1-3 says...

I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
    let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
    and let us exalt his name together!

Psalm chapter 34 has been weighing heavy on my heart the past couple days.  God calls us to praise Him and bless His name at all times.  I want His name to continually be on my lips.  I want my soul to BOAST in the Lord.  I am praying this over this year and over each of you this morning! May we be a people who choose blessing our Father's name over complaining, grumbling, arguing… May we exalt Him together at ALL times!

Thank you again for taking the time to check out Watson's and my blog!  We are thankful for you!!

Here we go...

     The day has finally come. Lane leaves tomorrow morning. We have enjoyed this summer together spending time together growing in our relationship and in Christ. We have shared many fun times doing things like hiking and kayaking, and hard times like today when we have to say goodbye. We are so grateful for the time that we have had together over the last few months. We are also so thankful for all of you that have supported us through prayer and time of fellowship. Our friendships with each of you are so valuable to us and we are so incredibly blessed to know you all. Though we know this time will be one of the hardest of our lives, we know God is faithful and that we can trust Him and all that He is doing in us. We are excited to see how He uses each of us and to share with you all what He is doing. 

     After today, I (Watson) will be the one primarily posting on our blog although Lane should be able to once every week or two. We hope to use this as a way to communicate with you all that God is doing and keep you updated on the things we are doing. The doors God has opened for each of us to impact our communities, although they are on different sides of the world, are incredible. We can't wait to share with you all what He does. 

     We hope that you will continue to follow our blog and read as often as you can. We know that we can find rest in Him and hope that in May when Lane returns we can begin using this time as part of our testimony and to share with others the amazing work Christ has done in us and tell the stories of His faithfulness to us. We love each of you and are so very thankful for your love and support.

Watson and Lane
