Face to Face with New Friends

Image
We got officially meet our new friends Brandon and Wendi Grayson :) Several weeks ago while skyping with this sweet couple who live over a thousand miles away from us, Brandon and Wendi mentioned that while they were back in the states they would be spending a few days at Whitestone Country Inn in Kingston, TN. For those of you that don't know Whitestone Inn gives free stays to missionaries and offers discounts to other people who serve in various types of ministries. It also happens to be the place where we got married! Its under an hour away from us, and Knoxville was on Brandon and Wendi's drive back to Indiana. We got to have lunch and ice cream and our kids and moms (and my dad just briefly) were also able to meet the Graysons :) I think our mothers really appreciated being able to put faces with the names they had heard, as well as to be able to ask some questions they had about life in St Kitts. We were excited to get to spend some "real life" time wi...

Fully Funded Trip!

WOOHOO! God is so good (of course)! In just a couple of weeks, we were blessed with support from friends and family and now our trip September 26 - October 2 is fully funded! We can't wait to get down to St Kitts and really dig into what God is doing there. I don't think we have words to express our anticipation and excitement. Lately Aaron and I have been studying a lot about the Holy Spirit and learning to have a Spirit led life. We are reading Radical by David Platt and Forgotten God by Francis Chan. Having the Spirit lead our every decision is our biggest prayer.We don't want to get so focused on our version of God's plan, only to miss what He really wants us to do. Please be praying with us that we listen to the Spirits direction.  Now that our travel cost are covered, we would really like to be able to bring supplies for the Graysons and their ministries. We will be posting a full list of needs soon, but I know th...

Blessings and Answered Prayers!

Today has been a really hard day. My (Katelyn) beautiful, incredible grandmother, Anne Halcomb, passed away this afternoon. I already miss her so much, but she had an amazing life! I want to be remembered the way she is, for all her love and accomplishments and the way she worked hard for everything and everyone important to her. I am so so happy that she lived a long life and wasn't sick or suffering. In the midst of the hard things, God has been really blessing us as well! One of the major repairs on our condo is done! We had materials donated and some awesome people pitch in and replace the siding that was rotten on the back around the garage. It's looking good :) We are only $7 short (yes, $7, that's not a typo) of being able to buy our plane tickets for our first trip to St Kitts in September!!! We are still in need of close to $500 in order to pay for our hotel stays on the way there and back, our travel expenses, items we will bring to help with the mini...

New Blog Address!

This is our new page! I had a fight with my computer trying to get the URL address changed on the other one, katelyncomer.wordpress.com  was not the name I intended the other blog to have. I may be the "writer" in our family, but this blog is an expression of both Aaron and my hearts and its our journey together so we wanted the blog name and address to reflect that! Please visit the link to read our story from  the beginning  and you can check out our prayer and current needs by reading about  our first visit coming up in September . Please follow this blog to get e-mail updates and check out  Mission:St Kitts  to learn more about the Grayson's who are currently serving in St Kitts and who we are excited to be joing in ministry with! More to come soon! It's been a hectic summer :) Love you all!   The Comers
