Christmas with family

For the actual Christmas celebrations, we spent our time with Amy's parents and sister (who came up from Chicago) and we all drove up to Wisconsin together for an annual Christmas time with Amy's mom's side of the family. It was a crazy time of people and gifts, and games, and icy roads, etc! God kept us safe as we drove (it was freezing rain conditions most of the way up) and on the way back. It was a fun time but on the other hand, a hard time. Amy's mom is the only believer in her family. Her own parents are religious "Christians" but that is as far as is goes. Spending Christmas (or any extended time) among unbelievers is so different from spending it with believers (as many of you know and have experienced). Amy and I spent time praying each morning and night for the relatives and praying that God would use us a lights among them. Please pray especially for Amy's Uncle Jeff and Grandma Schultz, who we feel are close to the kingdom.
