Hey Everyone, sorry for those of you who were confused with "Where in the world are Luke and Bethany?" We are in Santa Barbara for the summer. The Lord opened up an apartment for us to sublease right upstairs from our old apartment! It is actually our friends' and old neighbors', Chase and Cassie's place and they needed someone to sublease while they were traveling to the east coast for the summer. It worked perfect! We will be here until August 23rd.
So, God has really shown us that this time is a time of resting. He gave us the word "intentional" and told us that we are supposed to be intentional in our time with Him and in spending time with friends. Yeah, that is pretty much it... pretty sweet if you ask me.
In coming here, I (Luke) was a little nervous that we were gonna get stuck again -- working restaurant jobs and waiting... but the Lord clearly spoke to me "Do you trust me?" And He has reassured me that this is not going back to old things but it is something brand new, for a time, in a familiar location. He also told me that He has awesome plans for us and that we are not gonna have to try real hard to figure out what those plans are but we are gonna just fall right into it.
Wanna hear something even cooler? He told us not to work at all while we are here! What?! And He has been providing in awesome ways! So Praise Him! It is so dang FUN to walk with God.

Bethany and I went down to our friends' Peter and Josie's wedding in Pasadena a few weeks ago. GOOD TIMES! (They had hula hoops to play with right by the dance floor, NICE TOUCH!) Bethany almost knocked herself out with her own knee trying to jump thru one that I rolled on the ground by her! Gotta love it!
Anyways, we love you guys -- and for those in SB lets hang soon!

Yeah!! So RAD how He knows what's best. I know that you are a blessing to people in SB right now too as you are blessed. I love that picture of you two! :D we love you so so much.
So great seeing you two! I love watching the adventures unfold... speaking of, I may have an opportunity to go to Africa in two weeks with my uncle, a pastor here, and cousins, for two weeks... who knows? Our God is crazy good!! Pray for all the plans coming together.... God can move mountains! I will see you guys when I am back up there in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the rest, seeking the Lord and time reconnecting with everyone!

It was a pretty sweet jump though, Bethany. I was impressed.
You guys are so encouraging to me as I try to figure out this trusting God for everything too. Keep the praise reports coming. I love it!
