I’ve had a lot of thoughts I’ve wanted to blog about, but haven’t had time to do it. I’ve wanted to write down thoughts about the tornadoes (or as Kiah says “tormadoes”), preparing, redemption, family altars… and of course about Harvest… but my time has been taken up with paperwork and training. And I’m okay with that. But right now I have a few minutes… not nearly enough time to develop anything of weight, but enough time to give an update and throw some thoughts out into the restless air.

We’re in the home study process right now. After all the paperwork is accounted for and our face to face training on the 21st is done, they’ll allow us to schedule our interviews and complete our home study. So far, the process has been laced with grace. We’re not that far into it and haven’t even tried to raise money yet, so we’ll see how things pan out. If how it’s gone so far is any indication of how it will continue to go, God is in this. I try not to think too much about the money part… we have a few months to come up with around $6,000. Then we’ll have a few months to come up with another chunk. Then we’ll have until travel time to come up with another chunk. One step at a time. God has really blessed us financially lately and we’re trying to be wise stewards of that. We still want to give extravagantly and live minimally, yet we want to funnel money into this adoption… and there’s the added element of preparation for what’s to come (emergency preparedness) and the money that entails. Prayers, as always, are appreciated. Wisdom is continually needed.

In other news, my novel is on hold right now. It is written, but needs some tweaking. Then it needs to be edited. Then published. I’m not sure what to do, as it could be a fundraising tool but those things cost money up front and I’m not sure if it’s a wise investment right now. Again, wisdom needed.

Oh, there’s so much more I’d like to say…

It will have to wait for another time…

Only, I’ll say this: I’ve been “seeing” red trucks. I’ve been pondering the possible prophetic implications of bringing Harvest to America. I have a burden for altars to be built in families RIGHT NOW.. as in there’s no time to waste.. and this will be a major, heavy strategy of kingdom advance in the days ahead (read: sooner than we think). I’ve been asking God a lot of questions, one of the themes being St. Louis as a city of refuge. I’ve been wondering how all of this fits together. I’ve been mourning my own dullness and the dullness of my ears to hear what He is saying. Everything in the earth has gone crazy and is going to go crazier.

I want to be unmovable, unshakable, let my roots go down deep…
