The Wurglers

Well, the Wurglers are officially on a deadline. We have been asked to move out of our current living arrangement to make room for a son who is moving home. Rather than feeling discouraged, we have been hopeful that God would move and complete this initial support raising phase by the time we need to move - August 15. We are praying, and would ask you to pray with us, that we would be at 100% of our support goal by August 15 so we can move straight to North Dakota and not have to deal with the inconvenience of finding another place in Sioux Falls. 1 move will be enough, Sara says. In light of this, we have seen God come through in more amazing ways lately. We continue to be in awe of His provision and are constantly led back to the fact that it is He who is indeed working right now in this season and He is the one causing things to happen. If we were in "High Gear" before, we have somehow jammed the stick into a new, unfounded gear that previously did not otherwise exist. As ...

July 1 was another exciting day. Sara had been individually praying for specific support goals - asking and trusting the Lord to have us at 60% of our support by June 1 and 70% by July 1. He blessed us with the June 1 goal - a solid 60% of our monthly goal. So throughout June, she decided to trust Him again by asking for another 10% to be raised in 30 days. Unfortunately, June 30 came and went and with it, the hope that God would answer another of her prayer goals. She lay in bed that night, a bit discouraged but still hoping in the Lord to provide for us. She knew going into the week before July 1 that we needed to see $195 of support come in to be at 70% and it hadn't. Before drifting off to sleep, she prayed one more time, asking the Lord to provide that $195 in the next week or so, as if the Lord came up short in meeting a deadline and extending a "grace period" to get it done. The next morning, July 1, she checked the staff account balance, something she does a few t...

Recently a cousin of Sara's passed away. Her name was Nikki. I never met Nikki, but I heard a lot about her in the weeks leading up to her death. I heard stories of her life, ones that would make you grimace. She was adopted at a young age by Sara's great aunt and uncle, who had children already and who love the Lord. But for some reason, Nikki never could get her life in order. She grew up knowing about Jesus and His free salvation, but she was never able to give herself to Him. She would pray and ask for His help in the worst times of life, and, when things got better, she would go off on her own way again, fulfilling her own agenda, living a precarious life of substance abuse and recklessness. At a young age she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and lived much longer than someone should have with her condition and lifestyle. But ultimately, CF took her life. She was 29. Sad news, huh? Well, here's the good part. Nikki gave her life to Christ just weeks before she died. ...
