Then there were 2

Tim & Chad @ Chad's home

Chad and Tim are gone! (It's natural to cry, as our dear friend Lawrence apparently did) They are now at Chad's house laundering and hopefully resting soon so as to be at the airport for their 11:50 AM flight to Ecuador with part of the Grove City College soccer team.  If you've come to think they're just super neat, you can continue following their summer at gccsoccerinecuador.blogspot.com.  They got to say their farewells to the Hecks on Thursday thanks to the Hecks delaying their departure to visit their eldest daughter in Chicago in order to see them off (They're the greatest!)

This leaves Gabe and Spencer to survive this weekend on their own and then finish our responsibilities at summer school strong.  They are pleased to have all the food to themselves, but perhaps not so thrilled about being further outnumbered by ravenous children :)

Chad and Tim are extremely thankful for all of your prayer support thus far and for the experience that has been the result of said prayer.  Please continue to pray for them, especially that they would find time to reflect on all of the lessons God had them learn this summer

Gabe and Spencer now need additional prayer for energy as their workday picks up 2 more hours to fill Tim & Chad's absence.  Pray also for the counselors under them to take full advantage of this last week in their mentorship.

Father, may You be our focus, not our tiredness, not our new circumstances, not the work You have for us.  May we find great love, joy, and peace in Your simple, infinite existence long before we seek such things in Your Callings for us, Blessings to us, and especially the lives within us.

If there are words for Him, then I don't have them,

Chad, Tim, Gabriel, and Spince
