Many moons ago, I felt a message from the Lord telling me that He might ask me to move away from my comfort zone and that I should follow without hesitation. The only time I have ever lived further than 30 minutes away from my family is when I attended Texas Tech for half a semester in 1998. Almost my entire family lives here in Dallas including parents, grandparents, siblings with families, aunts, uncles, cousins and so on. This is VERY different from the Dyer family who currently has parents in Indiana, grandparents in Pennsylvania, and siblings in Amman. God began to give me thoughts and later urges to move away from Dallas. I told Ben and we decided to keep our ears, eyes and hearts open to this possibility.

When Ben lost his job, we naturally began to look around for other positions. He has been doing some contract work and we’re keeping afloat. God has kept a roof over our heads, food on our table and has provided Sophie with medical insurance. He is faithful and continues to give Ben work. I have never felt the call to go back to work myself. God still wants me at home to take care of Sophie and Ben. This was hard at first because I felt a little useless. Now I realize how much I am helping Ben succeed at his job by taking care of things he doesn’t like and things that are hard for him so he can concentrate on his work.

For months now, we have also felt God telling each of us that He might ask us to change churches. We came together and prayed and felt the Lord leading us to Lifechurch.tv. Craig Groeschel has spoken at Fellowship Church before and we really liked him. We started attending the internet campus because there is not a physical campus near to us. It’s amazing how God immediately began speaking to us from the very first message. We knew that this is where we are supposed to be. Out of curiosity and while exploring their site, I found a job opening that seemed to fit Ben. I prayed and then showed Ben.

Long story short - too late! - Ben is now doing contract work for Lifechurch and has applied for a full time job. The job would move us to Edmond, Oklahoma. When we began talking about this possibility in August, we both were hit with a real WANT from God. We want to go to Oklahoma. We want for Ben to get this job. We want to attend this church and get more involved. We have been praying for this since the middle of August.

Now I’m asking you, Gentle Readers, to pray for us. The Bible tells us that if we ask for something then God will give it to us but ONLY if we are persistent and ONLY if it is in His will. We truly believe that this is God’s will and we have been asking persistently. Prayer is our mightiest weapon and we’re asking you to join us in this specific prayer. Please pray that God will grant Ben this job and send us to Edmond. Pray that we will have the discernment to see God working and follow Him even if it doesn’t make sense right away to us.

Thank you for your love and support.
