Dear Friends,
Here’s a short note to bring you all up to speed with the latest. I traveled to North Carolina this last Wednesday and returned home late Sunday night. My son David came along and on Friday Patrick and Andrew met up with me. The purpose of my visit was to twofold, I interviewed for a couple of jobs and also traveled to West Virginia with Shelter Rock to minister to families in need. We had such an awesome time; it was very hard work but lots of fun. We had a good turnout of families, not sure how many at this time. We also had several people accept Christ! We had an awesome time with the Shelter Rock family. One of the families opened up their home to us which was a huge blessing.
As I said, I also had a couple of interviews, both of them were secular jobs, one was a non profit and the other was a call center. I prayed about these positions and do not feel drawn to either job. My heart is with ministry. I have included a link to a job that I have applied to with a ministry called Grandfather Home for Children. I definitely feel drawn to this organization because of their mission. Many, many years ago when I was 18, I dreamed of having an orphanage. This dream and desire has been tucked away in my heart. The only way that I have been able to be involved with orphanages and children’s homes has been to financially support them. The possibility to work with one of these organizations in a very direct way is very exciting to me. Could this be the open door? Could this be the work that God has for me? I hope so. Please pray that if this is God’s will, He would open this door for me.
Patrick has been offered a job that allows him to work from home. This is a big answer to prayer. Patrick working from home allows us the flexibility that we need in order for me to pursue ministry opportunities in the Boone area, the place where we feel God is leading us. Get this, the company that has hired him just happens to have an office in Boone. God is amazing!
My second prayer request is for you to continue praying that the house sells. We had an open house this last weekend and have a family that seems to be interested. Please believe with me that this house is sold in Jesus name.
Thank you all for your prayers and also thanks to those of you who donated clothing for the children. Your generosity meant a lot to me and also to the kids.
Love you guys,
Desiree & Patrick Miller
