Moments from May.

At the beginning of May, we had the privilege of going to a Freedom Business Alliance conference as ambassadors for IBEC Ventures (the BAM consultants who have been coaching us with Sauced & Tossed). It was such an inspiring, invigorating, and encouraging time. We left feeling challenged and spurred on by the speakers and fellow business owners to do business excellently for the glory of God. The conference was in Pattaya, and right across the road from a beautiful beach, which was such a fun perk! Nova got to experience the ocean for the first time. ✨

She loved it, and especially loved sampling the sand. ;)

This month also held Nova Gail's first birthday! It is so surreal that we have known her and loved her for a year already. We had a small party for her with friends and neighbors. She is a much-loved little girl!

A glimpse into the party.

A huge highlight for us this month was having Ben and Ashlyn (Sheree's sister) come to visit! It is such a gift to be able to connect with family in person, to share the beauty of Thailand and all that comes with it with them, and to do life together for a little while. Family is such a blessing, and distance only makes those relationships feel that much sweeter.

A photo snapped this past Sunday at church. We are excited to have our first baptism this coming Sunday, and have been encouraged to see the way God is working in our church family! Because the church plant is still so new, it seems that there is still a lot of adjusting and pieces that need to fall into place. But we definitely see God's hand working in uniting us around the Truth as we learn to be the body of Christ together.

PRAISES & PRAYER REQUESTS:

- praise the Father for kindly providing such sweet experiences this month!

- praise God for one whole year of sweet Nova. Pray that she would grow to be a woman after His heart one day.

- pray for wisdom and discernment as we make daily decisions regarding Sauced & Tossed. We are growing in embracing the reality that this truly is God's business, and we are just stewarding it. 

- pray for the Spirit's work in the hearts of those we have regular contact with who have shown some interest in Him. Especially O, Fluke, Boi, Paa, and Pume.
