Hi Ladies!
My family and I could really use some prayers! On Monday morning my husband was offered a very exciting position doing mission work for a group called FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students, www.focusonline.org). His month-long training at Benedictine College in Kansas starts next weekend and my children and I have to go along. I am due with our 3rd baby at the end of July, which is also when we need to be in Colorado (where the job is). I am going to have the baby here in Houston, as I'm a VBAC mama and I already trust the OB I have.
However, what we really need prayers for is that A) we can somehow come up with the money for the move in the next couple of days and B) we can find a place to rent in Greeley, Colorado and be able to move in by next week!
Our plan is to move our stuff to Colorado, set up (so I don't have to do it with a newborn, two small children, and a husband off at a new job at the end of July), and go to training. Then we'll stay with IL's until the baby's born.
I am so stressed trying to pack my whole home while 7 months pregnant by the weekend, trying to find medical care in Kansas, trying to find a place in Colorado that is available and that we can afford, and trying to sell off all our extra stuff to pay for the move!
Please please pray for us!!!!

Dear Andrea,
I'll pray for you. You'll get through it all somehow, and someday, you'll be telling stories like, "Remember that hectic summer when we..."
Love,
Kelly

You have my prayers!
I have to laugh though. When I saw your title I thought you were saying that you were in labor and you were moving very quickly out the door to the hospital. I am glad you are not as I see it would be way too early!

Andrea -
Prayers for everything to fall into place and for calm to prevail as you wait for those things to happen.
Peace,

Hi Andrea!
We just moved to Greeley in January. There are a lot of rentals around the university. There are a number of rentals on our street. I believe the founders of FOCUS live here in Greeley.
Prayers for your move and delivery. :-)

Yes they do (and some of the others are down here in Denver. Curtis Martin and his wife do (or at least did) homeschool their kids -- I think he has six.
I pm'ed you Andrea, but wanted to remind you to email us if you need anything. My neice just finished her soph year at Greely and is very active in FOCUS -- she was homeschooled all the way through and is from a big family, so may be of some help to you. She's also staying in Greely for the summer, so I'll make sure y'all connect!

Thank you all so much for your prayers and generousity in doing what you can to help us! I can hardly think of it or I'll burst into tears... I'm a little over emotional over here! lol 
Just to update, I did find a very sweet midwife who will see me while I'm in Kansas through the Kansas City chapter of ICAN. Now that that's squared away, we just need to find a place to live in the next couple of days and somehow come up with the money for it all! Thank you, THANK YOU so much for your encouragment and prayers!
