God At Work...

I guess you could say that Jeremy and I have found ourselves encouraged by discouragement lately. Let me share a few stories of God's power, sovereignty, and grace in our lives. Here's an update from the front lines of the spiritual battle this past week:

Update on Jeremy:
He, his wife, Janie, and his two boys are now official residents of San Diego. While moving last week, the McGarity's discovered that Carol Garlow (wife of Jim Garlow and mother of Janie McGarity) needed to see a doctor for some tests on Thursday. On Friday, the McGarity's received news that Carol had cancer and needed surgery immediately. Due to her illness and emergency care, Jim Garlow (Lead Pastor of Skyline Church in SD and father of Janie McGarity) asked Jeremy to speak at all of his services this past weekend. God's timing for Jeremy and his family to be in San Diego during this time of need couldn't have been more perfect. Please be praying for the McGarity family. I am sure they are in need of some rest.

My Update:
A few weeks ago, I reported that James, Erik, and I had qualified to move into a townhouse property in Imperial Beach. Yes, we filled out all the paper work, submitted our application fees, and even paid our deposit. Unfortunately, after a few days of awaiting approval and some glitch in the matrix, they asked us to do the impossible... They asked us to submit a "letter of hire" for jobs that James and Erik had not secured in San Diego yet. On Tuesday we accepted our disqualification and pressed forward. On Wednesday, James and I found ourselves back in San Diego looking for another property to call home. Within minutes, James, Erik and I were qualified and approved to move into the Landing Apartments (located one exit south from Olympian High School; future home of Seven SD). Yes, we found ourselves amazed by God's handiwork. Not only did God place us in a finer complex, but He placed us within the community we will be ministering to. Our move-in date has been pushed up from July 10th to July 8th. We are certain this road-block was all part of God's plan.

Furthermore, I apologize for the delayed update. I was in Arizona the latter part of the week and was unable to get online. Thank you so much. Please continue to pray for us, Roberto
