a little bit longer

Well the BC Lions won their game and the Edmonton Eskimo's lost theirs. We're in the playoffs! We are honestly surprised though. Richard and I really thought we'd be heading home this coming week. But God had other plans and we're grateful for them. More time hear=more paychecks, which we really need as we transition back to Lubbock. But more time here also means Richard will have more time to finish up some of his music at the studio, so we're glad about that, too.

We are both just ready to get back. We miss what we consider "normal". Normal priced gas, normal priced groceries, work, school, friends, family, the dollar menu :), sunshine through our windows, fountain Diet Dr. Peppers!!! :) We miss Experience Life, Monday night prayer meetings, Cru on Thursdays... We just genuinely miss our life in Lubbock.

But we'll patiently wait for the Lord and we'll continue to trust Him during our time here. We'll keep everyone updated as we begin the playoffs. We'll be home soon enough! :)

just an update

Welp, the BC Lions won their game on Sunday. We still have a chance to go to the playoffs, but we HAVE to win our next game and the Edmonton Eskimo's HAVE to lose their game. So we'll see what happens. If we had of lost on Sunday, we would've known when we were heading home, but now we are still waiting to see how this season finishes. Of course we would love for our team to go to the playoffs, but Richard and I are both ready to get home, too. So we have mixed emotions at this point.

Richard had another opportunity to go speak to some kids at a Christian school yesterday and was able to perform his song again. We hope that Richard will have more opportunities to do things like that when we get back home. Here is a link to a new song of his on youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYF4DOpCSZg. Enjoy!

Most of you know that I plan to work with Campus Crusade again when I get back home. I just started the process of raising support again. It's such a nerve-racking process, but God has fully provided two years in a row, so I shouldn't expect anything less this time. It will be difficult raising support during the transition as Richard and I leave Canada, take a 3 day drive home, and move back home. But I'll manage. :) I am excited to start working with the staff team again and with the students at Tech. I have missed the community, the encouragement, and the insight that comes with working in ministry. Please pray with me as I continue the support raising process. I will post my progress every once in a while. And if you are interested in being a ministry partner, here is a link to my giving page...https://www.globalservicenet.org/giving/Lori-Jones .

We'll keep everyone updated as we find out more about when we're coming home. Please pray that we would trust the Lord during this time. Pray that we would have a safe trip home. And pray that the Lord would provide all our needs during this transition.
