Euroclass 2009

Well, after lots of prayer and consideration Martin and I have decided to take the job at Euroclass next year. THANK YOU all so much for all the prayers and encouraging emails that I recieved! You have no idea how much it means to me to know that I have this huge prayer base at home!

On Friday I was still feeling a little anxious knowing that we had to have a decision made quickly. But, God is so good. In my "Equipment for Ministry" class we are learning about the different gifts of the Spirit. On Friday, the topic was Spiritual Wisdom, perfect timing! After the teaching he asked if there was anyone who felt like they needed wisdom over a specific decision. I asked for prayer and 4 girls prayed for me. I was given so much encouragement and prophetic words, it really made me feel so much more at peace about the whole situation, which was especially good because Martin called me a few minutes later and said that he had set up a meeting with Peter (Euroclass Leader) at 2:00 that afternoon. So, I went into this meeting feeling so much more at peace than I did before. In this meeting we just talked with them with some last minute questions we had should we take the job, and it was so good.

Martin and I left Peter and Sarah's house feeling so encouraged and uplifted. It's going to be such as blessing for us to work under this couple and be discipled by them as well as us getting to disciple the teenagers. I think my brother nailed it on the head when he said, it sounds like I'm a little homesick, but I know that God is not through with me here. That is right. I miss my home and my family and friends so much, and I hate that I am missing out on important things happening, but I also know that there is always a cost in following Jesus. He calls us to look straight ahead, not to the sides or behind and follow him completely, and that is what Martin and I want to do with our lives.

We are so excited about this opportunity. We are excited to be able to do what we love as our job. Euroclass is in connection with a boarding school (this is where Danes ages 15-17 go...kind of like high school) so I will also be considered an employee there and may get to teach some English classes as well. We are excited for the road ahead.

Thank you again for all your prayers and encouraging words! It means more to us than you know! Please continue to do that!! AND... we can't wait to see you all at the wedding! :)

Love from Lynsey and Martin
