1913 Saddlehorn Way...

is our new address! Today we signed a contract to build a new house in the Mill Valley North subdivision. The Lord was faithful to honor our commitment to wait out the market and save as much money as possible. Construction will start soon and should be ready for move-in sometime in September, maybe even late August. It is close to a corner lot and has planty of kids for little Caden to meet and play with. Please play for our neighbors we will soon meet that we will have the opportunity to invest in their lives and share the greatest hope we know, LIVING HOPE!.

An Offer and An Arrival

Today has been a busy day but a good day. After 4 months of house hunting, we put an offer on a house today. They will hopefully respond this weekend or by Monday. It is a home that has come down in price considerably over the past 4 months and has plenty of room for us to grow into and host guests. Please pray that if the Lord wants us to have this house, He will put it all together, if not we will continue to wait and pray. Also, Frank Johnson just arrived a few hours ago with a load to put in storage. God has sold their home and he is here to drop a load of furniture off and drive back to Millington, TN tomorrow. Pray that the Lord will give him safe traveling mercies tomorrow. AND GO TIGERS!

The Der Dutchman

I never thought that I would be eating at an Amish restaurant...but I did today and man was it good! Today, we traveled into Plain City, a town located about 15 minutes south of Marysville and ate at a well known Amish place called the Der Dutchman. I have not quite yet figured out what it means, but as soon as I do I will inform you. I bought a couple of books today detailing the life and culture of the Mennonite and Amish. It is always good to take a look at the community around you and gain a better understanding of their culture historically, socially, and theologically. Tomorrow we will be worship the Lord's Risen Day at Lifepoint Church, http://www.lifepointcolumbus.com.

Have a wonderful Easter!

Prayer for the Armstrong's

The past few days here in Ohio have been awesome! Brent and Kim Armstrong have been here in Marysville since last weekend praying, house hunting, and job interviewing. God is at work in their lives and it is obvious to see His hand upon them. They feel the Lord calling their family here to be a part of Living Hope! They have three kids...Emma, Molly, and Miles. Living Hope is richly blessed to have such a Godly family to come be a part of the foundation of what God is doing. Please pray for them as they drive back to Memphis today as well as the next few months. Pray that their house would sell in Germantown and Brent would have clear confirmation for a job. The story continues to unfold, how will you be a part of the story...

Welcome to O-H-I-O...

Starting last night and finishing this afternoon, Columbus saw a record snowfall of over 20 inches. I have not seen that much snow in all of my life! Caden did not know what to do with all the white stuff. I have posted a few pics of him on facebook. All churches in the Central Ohio region have cancelled, so it looks like the Westbrooks will have the opportunity to brush up on our house church a little earlier than planned. God has been so good to let us meet people and share the vision of Living Hope almost every day since we arrived last weekend. I had a very encouraging conversation with a prospective team member of the Living Hope staff, more to come later. Please keep praying for Marysville, and for all the snow to melt.

First Post From Marysville

Well, the time has actually come where I am writing these pages from Marysville. God is so good and we are so thankful to finally be here. There is actually a little snow on the ground with high's in the 50's today! This morning we attended Dublin Baptist, who is a co-sponsoring church and Lifepoint Church tonight, another partnering church with Living Hope. More updates to come tomorrow...
