It's March, already?!

Hello! How are you all? We hope great! I can't believe it is March already! Time flies! Well a little update-we didn't get the house! Boo! At least for now we didn't get it. The bank would not go down enough, and it needs a lot of work before we ever could move in. So we decided to pass right now. Our realtor said they may come back once they realize no one will pay what they want. So until then, I guess the looking continues. It's hard because nothing compares in my mind to that house, but I know God has something out there for us. I hope soon! The walls of this apartment seem to be closing in on us!

Things at church are going good. We are feeling the economic crunch a little bit with the giving. So please pray for that. Pray for everyone in general, not just the people at The Ridge. I know churches everywhere are being pinched. We just finished a series called "One Month to Live", and I personally thought it was great. I learned a lot about myself, and about God. It was very challenging. Last week we started a new series called "Life According to Jim." We are going through the book of James. Then the church is going to start a reading plan to read the entire Bible together. I am very excited about this. I have read the Bible before, like front to back, but it was all when I was at college and it was homework. So I don't remember a whole lot, I just remember having to read it. We are ordering books with reading plans, if any of you are interested please let us know and we can get you one.

Neighborhood groups are booming! We are starting a new one this week in Muskego. This will be the third one in this tiny little town! It is awesome to see people who are willing to commit to a neighborhood group, and who are committed to doing life with each other. God is awesome!

The Ferguson family is doing well! Eric is busy with church, students, leaders, and life. But God is great and still blesses us daily with stories of people who have been helped by The Ridge. I am officially finished with books and tests! I am seeing clients now, and it is going great. Thank you all my volunteers! Molly is wonderful! She is talking a lot, and is so much fun to be with. She is definitely going through the terrible twos, but we are managing so far. She loves people so much, she is not afraid to go hug someone or kiss little boys, which her dad just loves!

We hope Spring brings new life to you all, and the sunshine reminds you of God's faithfulness. He is so good friends, and we pray that you know that. Blessings to all!
