Calling all saints to pray...big decisions in the Morris house

So today is Hannah's official last day of Kindergarten. As she is working on a book for her last bit of schoolwork today, I am starting to think forward to what the summer might mean for our family and ask you all to pray.

With Ken feeling called to go into ministry (specifically, ministering to men, and I think that I will be used to minister to wives), one thing that he is feeling that God might want him to do is to go back to school. He has applied to and been accepted at Calvary Bible College in Grandview, Missouri which is so awesome!! His first semester there would be the upcoming fall semester. With his current job (long story, but basically he felt God leading him to leave his last job and God provided him with something literally the following Wednesday) money is tight right now and we are praying about God's provision for the finances so that school can become a reality. We have already been approved for about a $3,000 Pell Grant which would cover the cost of basically his first semester of school (Calvary Bible College is $290 a credit hour). Another aspect that we are praying about is moving the family onto the campus. For us to move out there we would be saving ourselves about $300 in rent each month PLUS we would be getting an extra bedroom and a backyard for the girls to play in (something I've been asking the Lord for)!! The only caveat is that our rent isn't up until January 1st of 2011, so we would have to pay $1600 in order to break our lease. Something Ken is also wondering about is whether or not that means he needs to look for a job that would be closer towards Grandview so that he wouldn't have as far of a drive if we did end up moving out to campus.

All that to say, would you please pray for the future ministry of our family? Would you please pray that God would give us clarity and confirmation of His will for all of these details, because we are confident that he does care about the details, and also that He's always on time. Pray for us to receive confirmation that Ken is for sure to go to Calvary, that if we are supposed to move out that way that God would provide the means for that to become a reality. And if we are NOT supposed to move forward with all these things, that God would close the doors. We most importantly want to remain in and live out the Will of God in our lives. He's carried us through many things, and we know that as we continue to abide in Him that He will make us able to do what He has called us to, and will take care of the details in order for that to happen.
