Again we deeply appreciate all of your prayers and encouraging words and would love to know how we can pray for you!

I Got The Job......
Praise the Lord, I finally got the job at Starbucks!!!
I just have to say that God definitely knew what He was doing with our job situations. Benj turned down a job that a friend was generous enough to offer because neither of us had a peace about it and the pay would, in all reality, only pay for gas money and tolls because it was so far away.
Anyway, Tuesday morning I really didn't want to call Starbucks to check on whether or not I was actually hired and Benj stopped what he was doing and said that I needed to pray about it. So that is exactly what I did and even asked God to put my name on their hearts and minds and that I would find favor with them somehow. I received some clear direction that I did in fact need to call them instead of just waiting even though I still did not want to call and be an annoyance. As soon as I called the manager said that I was hired even though I can't start till the 24th and that she thought it was funny that I called because she was just thinking about me and looking over my application!!!
Praise God--He heard my every word and I am so thankful that this is where He wants me! I am really praying now that this will be a place to meet and influence many people and that He will use it to grow Discover Church and that I may be an encouragement to those that I work with!!!!

Yesterday's Trip to the ER....
First I want to thank many of you for all of your prayers for Benj's eye. I do appologize for not being clear with everyone what was going on too. A few days ago, he noticed a cloudy spot toward the middle of his eye making it hard for him to see out of his left eye (he's not in any pain whatsoever).
Monday we went to the eye Dr. to see if there was something wrong or if he just needed glasses. After looking at it, the doctor from walmart said that she thought it might just be a common thing (a hemorrhaged blood vessel) but that we would need to take him to an eye specialist to get it checked right away!
Yesterday, (Tuesday), we waited a glorious 8 hours in an ER at the University of Miami to see a specialist. Benj went through a few tests and after a whole day we still don't know what it is. There's definitely fluid by the retina and the doctor said he should come back if it gets larger or if it doesn't go away in a couple of weeks. She can always inject medicine into his eye to dry up the fluid but we are praying he won't have to go through that :)
Again, thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray that it goes away on its own! We will keep you updated and we just praise God that it's nothing too serious!

Overwelmed with blessings from God.....
We have had a great weekend and I just wanted to let you all know of some great blessings in our lives that God is overwhelming us with!
As many of you know, Benj and I went to our best friends' wedding in Pennsylvania two weeks ago! We had a good time seeing friends from school, however, we were somewhat discouraged because of the amount of money needed for plane tickets, hotels, food, and other expenses. The evening we arrived back in FL, we checked the mail and there we found checks just over the amount we spent on this trip! Praise God and Him alone! What an encouragement to know that we have a God that cares about us so much!!!
He continues to encourage us and amaze us every DAY that goes by. Even as we are still waiting on my job situation, He blesses us and we have peace knowing that He is providing and He does have a plan!
God is good--all the time!

Pics of new home and recent events....
I'm so sorry I haven't been posting any updates lately! Here are a few pictures of our new home. We are renting a condo in a beautiful area and we are meeting some great neighbors. They have really gone out of their way to meet us and even to help us find jobs, which we are still praying God provides something :)
A couple of weeks ago we had a "Totally Free" Car Wash where we just wanted to serve and get to know the community and people were just blown away that we weren't even accepting donations. We wanted them to see that they are loved and that we just wanted to show Christ's love in a practical way! We washed about 100 cars that day and many heard the Gospel of Christ and had many great conversations as well!
We've also been trying to build our core team and had our first vision cast to share this church's vision with other believers. Please pray that God will continue to build this team!!!
I will try my hardest to update more and more now that we are getting settled! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Back to Reality...
We are finally back and loving married life!
Benj and I got back from our honeymoon last Saturday and just had a wonderful time. We went to Gatlinburg and stayed in a beautiful cabin and had such a restful week! We even took a helicopter ride, went to an aquarium, played some put put golf, and ate at some great restaurants. The shopping, eating, and resting was a treat after a long week of wedding details and busy schedules. The entire week was such a blessing and I hope you enjoy the pictures below!
Now we are back home for a short while and have been blessed with lots of work this week! God is so good and has provided so much from the wedding and even more from being able to work this week for some extra moving money!
We have finally found a condo to rent in FL and we are excited to move down the weekend of the 20th! Please be praying that all of the paper work this week goes well. It is approaching quickly but we are extremely excited to be able to get started with the church plant and get settled as we start our new life together. God is doing some exciting things in FL already as Chip (our lead pastor) and his wife have been holding small groups in their home.
Benj just updated our website at www.thelitters.com and the new newsletter and prayer calendar are up! Please keep us in your prayers as we spend our last week in Ohio with family and friends and as we begin packing too!
Thank you for your continued prayers and please let us know if there's anything we can be praying about for you as well!!!
