October 20th 2011 - Giant's Causeway and the Concord Minutmen

It’s Thursday again and our deemed day off during the week. Usually these days are spent going shopping, seeing a movie, out to sight see or hanging out with friends but today we resolved to some more work done on the adoption front. We’d decided to call on a number of the financial bits back in the U.S. There is much information that is required on the forms most of which is not soul searching although some of the questions are more easily answered than others. After applying ourselves for a while and once again having success we thought we’d look into some other finance possibilities we have back in the U.S. I don’t know about you but making calls waiting on the line asking questions about info you don’t really understand is not my idea of a good time. For these couple of hours though it was not hardship, in fact it was actually quite fun.

Once again NLC champs this season

      Again we found ourselves with a mound of good news. Another life insurance policy could be borrowed against again without a massive payback due on what we borrow. The years put in at Concord could net us some money in an annuity program and a couple of other little amounts here and there continues to make the financial climb not as steep as it did some 24 hours earlier. 

We’ve been told that is a very faith building and bold step into the wild, and it does in fact feel like that. One of the prophetic pictures that we had while at Kings Bible College was of the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. This is a group of large stones under the sea that can be seen from above quite easily but cannot really be seen when on the water’s surface. They are there under the water but you can’t really see them, and the word said that we were to live our lives like we were on the Giant’s Causeway on one rock and then blindly stepping out to the next. We will know that the rock is there but not be able to see it, but step out in faith it is there even if just under the surface. Hey we have moved to England and are leading a church here so stepping out is something that we have done and I’m sure will continue to happen.

The Giant's Causeway, someday we'll travel there
