Waiting on The Lord

Friends and Family,

We want to take this time to ask you to be praying with us in this "Saturday" in our life. By this we mean that we are in a time of waiting for The Father to move and open doors for us to move to Chicago. Right now we are waiting for a full time job for Jared, as well as a place to live. We have also been working towards raising both financial and prayer support as we embark on this new journey. Jared will be looking to start taking classes towards his Master's at Northern Theological Seminary in Lombard, IL as soon as we get moved and settled. While we are still here in Iowa, we are living with Jared's parents and Jared is working with his dad. That job alone has been a blessing from God because we were not sure how bills would be paid in September and now October. 

The Lord has placed on our hearts that we need to take this time to have our eyes open to what He is doing around us and to be thankful and joyful for how He is moving right here and now in our lives as well as the lives around us. As we mentioned earlier one of those movements of The Lord is that He has blessed Jared with a job! Praise Him who provides for our needs!

Another blessing that God has given us is Liam! Through this time of waiting and praying for a way to Chicago, Liam has changed so much! He is crawling, pulling himself up, eating baby food, giving high fives and that's only the beginning! Having Liam in our life has given us a glimpse of how much to Our Heavenly Father loves us. Liam brings so much joy and laughter into our lives and we are so thankful for that!

We also want to thank our families for opening their homes to the three of us for the last two months as we lived with Jess' parents the first 3 weeks of August. There is no way that we would be where we are at now without their generosity. It is hard for two families that are used to having their own space come together for a season and they have opened their homes and lives without hesitation! God has blessed us with wonderful families!

Please let us know if you want to know more about CityWave and what our journey entails in Chicago, we would love to share!   

Thank you all for your prayers

In Christ,

The Phillips (Jared, Jess and Liam)
