Reasons to give thanks.

We hope this update finds you all enjoying this time set apart for giving thanks and enjoying all that comes with this season! As we walked through November, there were several times we were struck by the kindness and blessing of God in our lives in some very tangible ways. The biggest way was His answer to our prayers for a house to rent closer to the heart of the city! Thank you to each of you who joined us in prayer since the last update. He led us to a place that is less than a 10 minute drive from the market we sell at, our church building, and the wholesale produce vendors and bulk food store we source most of our products from. Plus, it was cheaper rent than we were previously paying and the house has some very fun and traditional Thai-style elements! We are so thankful.

We found the house on a Friday, signed the lease on a Saturday, and were moved in by the next Thursday! Things move very fast in the Thai housing market. :)

We all love the new place, and Nova especially loves the outdoor area.

 Another way that we have seen God's kindness and provision over the last month is through Sauced & Tossed! Each month, we have seen our sales steadily increase and the month of November left us shocked and thankful at the growth God has provided. We are so dependent on Him to sustain our business, and are so grateful and humbled by the way He has blessed it this past month especially.

And as always, we are so thankful for our employees and the roles they play in our lives and business! 

And then finally, we are so thankful that we had the opportunity to take a long weekend off of the business and enjoy some time at the beach as a family! It is such a gift to do this life together as a little family, whether work or play. 

PRAISES & PRAYER REQUESTS:

- Praise for God's provision in finding us a new home that is close to the heart of the city where we do much of our lives. It was truly an incredible gift from God.

-Pray for Prince. He's a S&T customer that comes to the truck often and has shown interest in Jesus and Christian community. 

-Pray for continued surrender of S&T to Jesus. November was a huge step forward towards sustainability (one of the four goals of BAM). We praise God for the encouraging mouth but also want to continue trusting in Him as we head into December.

-Pray for grace in parenting. As new parents, especially living away from family, we feel over our heads in raising Nova at times.
