Time to sell....

Ok, I know it has been a while, since I have summited an entry, since last year to be exact! But life has been moving fast and furious around the Fleming home. Yesterday we officially put a sign in our yard to sell our house. Last friday I had a garage sale and sold a bunch of stuff, I also sold some big items on craigs list. We have been doing home improvement projects, like me staying up till 10:30 last night painting my doors, all 14 and base boards. Whew! I am tired just thinking about it all! Michael is going to Denver for another vision trip the first of February and I will be meeting him on the weekend to find a house/apartment to rent, so please pray! We are finishing up things here in Dallas, support rasing and team building then we will transition ourselves on the ground in Denver sometime in March if all goes well. It is such a scary and thrilling place to be, but keeping our eyes focused on Christ and the journey He is taking us on is what is keeping us going. I rest today in Psalm 16:11 "You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas Y'all!!!! We went to santa's village on Sunday night with some good friends, the Jacobs, and took some pre-Christmas pictures. It was cold, crazy and filled with Christmas cheer! Enjoy the pictures....

What has God called you to do with your cloak?

A couple of weeks ago, I was studying 1&2 Kings about Elisha and Elijah and their ministries, I love the symbolizm of the cloak. We were first introduced to the "cloak" in 1 Kings 19 when we saw the cloak on Elisha and how when Elijah asked him if he wanted to be a part of his ministry Elisha threw his cloak, (which then symbolized status, and wealth), around Elijah's shoulder's, meaning I am "all in", you can have everything of value to me because I want to follow you. In 2 Kings 2 Elijah was getting ready to ascend into heaven and he was ready to pass on his ministry or "cloak "to Elisha symbolizing that it was his turn to lead the charge. The cloak was used not only by both prophets to separate the body of water in 2 Kings 2:13-14 but also to show who was the prophet. It was God's way of showing the people around them that they believed and followed Him whole heartily. What does it look like for God to want us to throw our "cloak" around him and just be "all in?" How does that play out in our lives? How often has God given us the charge to hand over our "cloak" to be able to effectively serve Him with our whole hearts? What would your cloak look like? Anger, money, possessions, lust, laziness and the list goes on. I feel very challenged to daily check my heart and life for anything that would hinder me in my walk with my Savior. My passion with being a completer to my husband during this church planting season is that I would not only throw my "cloak" around his shoulders but that I would help him persevere to spur others on to believe in what God has laid on our hearts. I leave you with Elisha's charge, do you have it in YOU? "So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elisha went up to him and threw his cloak around him." 1 Kings 19
