Friends are coming!

Dear Friends,

I don't use the term "friends" lightly. Have you ever sat back and evaluated the value of your friends? Move somewhere far away and it will happen all too soon.

Brian, Ben & I went back to visit our Texas friends & family at the end of January. I can tell you that I am still enjoying the high from our time there. We left with our hearts full, no overflowing. We realized how much we value your friendships. We are so grateful that God has placed each of you in our lives for a season and a reason. We were able to really refuel and re-energize from our time with our friends and family. Thank you.

Speaking of friends, we finally have people taking us up on our offer to stay with us when you visit the Loveland area. I hope no one gets upset when I name names but I am just so excited. The Jeffreys are coming at the end of February. They will be our first guests other than our son, Ryan. Then, over the course of Spring Break we have the Wilburns, the Masseys, and Ryan & Morgan coming to visit. We are so excited to show our friends our new life and all of God's beauty in Colorado. It's really an amazing place and we would love to share it with any of you. Just call us to let us know your coming.

Please be in prayer for Ben...

*He needs to raise the last $500 for his mission trip to Belize.

*He leaves March 8th (He has a layover at DFW from 11:50am to 1:05pm Flight #2193)

*He has a perforated left eardrum. This is the reason he failed the Air Force physical (hearing test). He is having surgery less than 48 hours after he returns from Belize. Surgery is set for March 19th.

We are about to join our church up here. http://www.crossroadscolorado.com/ We are getting plugged in and meeting new people. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us as we served Him here.

Well, I have kept you long enough. Give yourself and your family a hug from the Means. We will be praying for you.

Love and miss you all,

Karen
