Check out our prayer needs!

The list at the right has some updated prayer requests. We really do appreciate and covet your prayers. Here's a little list right now:

• we're really trying to figure out if we should rent or sell our house. we're fixing it up right now (translation: putting money into the house, carpet, paint, plumbers, etc) the market is really bad in ann arbor - so we don't know if it's smarter to rent or sell. please pray for wisdom.
• we're trying to figure out priorities. I'm frankly overwhelmed with the number of things that we have to do and decide. where should we store our things? should we paint or relax? should we just sit down and spend time together or should we be working on support development? there's just a lot. Amy's busy with her intensive Russian coursework (really busy) and I've been very busy at my UM job too.
• we received our new terms of call for 2008 (translation: our budget) and we have to raise quite a bit more money as a married couple and with the cost of living and inflation rates in Russia. So we're at a $1000/mo deficit right now.
• i've been working on the process and procedure to replace myself at UM. Please pray that the right person will be found for the role. I really want to leave the department in strong and capable hands.
