Hello dear friends!

I just wanted to post a quick update and let you know that the Wood family, or at least part of them, is in KS and doing well. Joe and I arrived here on Thursday with Bekah and our four littlest ones. Grandma and Grandpa have the older children and are enjoying some special events this weekend with them.

I know this is new news to most of you. KS?!?! You are probably saying? Well, that is what I was saying too! Again, having never visited the state and I questioned, "Lord what are we going to do in KS?" However, the Lord has prepared the way... opened doors no man could open and shut doors so tightly that we couldh't humanly squeeze through them! Thank you Lord for that. I know my Joe said, "Lord make sure you shut them tight you know I can squeeze through some pretty tight spots." We all laughed when we heard daddy's prayer yet we knew His heart was sincere- We don't want to do anything on our own! We only want to go and do what HE wants us to do! Joe met with his new employer part of yesterday and then will be with them all day today. They had offered him a job about three weeks ago and after much prayer, fasting, and council we decided we would drive back here this week to see if this was truly where the Lord was leading us.

When we entered KS yesterday, there was such a great peace! Actually, our entire drive (all 38 hours of it) was peaceful and enjoyable! It was simply a very LONG drive to make! The rolling hills of KS are green right now and the air smelled sweet as we drove through all the crops. We all feel very good about being here. The James family came last night and spent some time in the pool with us everyone had a blast on the 3 story water slide!

The Father is always leading us to trust Him. To know Him as our provider, healer and intimate Father! While this seems to be where the Lord wants us to be we are required to act in faith and hush our flesh. We still need to sell our home in CA and while there has been great interest we still don't have an offer we can accept. The Lord has provided a home for us here in KS; in fact, I am getting ready to go and put a deposit down right now. The couple renting to us are Christians; I am looking forward to getting to know them more. I believe the husband told us yesterday that they too home school so perhaps the Lord will open doors for us to fellowship with them soon. He did send us information on their Church body via email that my Joe and I checked out online- we will have to wait and see where the Lord is leading us.

Well, friends... I am in the hotel lobby and my little ones are eager to go! The Wood family sends our love to each of you and will write more as the Lord allows! Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!

With much love,

Mrs. Joseph Wood
