Yes, it has been a long time since any updates. I have come to the conclusion that May is just as busy or m
ore than even December with its Christmas rush. We have been up to our eyeballs in recitals, programs and even kindergarten graduations. That's right, we have an official 1st grader! Would seem that our family has many doors to walk through these days. We watch our children grow every day, changing sometimes before our eyes. With the end of this school year, we start a new chapter in our lives. I am now a retired preschool teacher. Yet my teaching career is only beginning as I will now prepare to start homeschooling both children. I am so excited about that adventure. It is just on
e of many facing the Culbertson's these days. Things have been crazy, to say the very least. But even in craziness, God is good. Because the other reason there have been so few updates lately is because there is nothing to tell. Since news of our invitation from Isaiah 55 we have been playing a waiting game. There have been som
e things to accomplish, more testing and forms to fill out. But mostly we are waiting and praying. The craziness of May and the milestones of our family life have certainly helped in that waiting and kept us from too many feelings of anxiety.
Now we find the next, and maybe biggest moment is at hand. In one week we leave for Atlanta to meet face to face with staff of Mission To The World and seek final approval to be missionaries and go serve in Mexico. One more door to walk through. One more chance for God to confirm or to say "Far enough, the door is closed." We still believe with all our hearts that we are on the path God has set before us. We still feel very called to this mission. And we still hold fast to our hearts desire, to follow God, door open or door shut, and to learn from Him what He has for our family.
The updates will come quicker now friends. Pray!
