Today I write this post with much sadness but trusting fully in God as He shows me daily His unfailing love and His faithfulness.
As you may know, I am currently home in Missouri for Christmas. I came back with the intention to return to Costa Rica in February for another year. However, under the wise counsel and support of my church and pastors, LifePoint Church, and through much prayer, God has shown me that my time in Costa Rica has come to an end. Therefore I will begin my transitioning phase back into life in Missouri.
I will return to Costa Rica 15 January for a week to settle my affairs, pack my bags and say goodbye to my girls and friends. On 21 January, I will join my home church on a mission trip in Guatemala for a week to serve as a translator and return to the states with them on 28 January. After this I will transition back to Missouri and re-establish myself into life here and begin the job search.
I have asked my financial supporters to give for the next six months as I transition back to the states. This will allow me a time of transition, during which I will be supported through my fundraising dollars and with the help of my home church, LifePoint, working closely with them for accountability. If you would like to give you may do so through LifePoint Church; make checks payable to LifePoint Church and mail to 51 Riverdale Road Ozark, MO, 65721, and write in the memo line “Sunshine Loveland”. Please do not send support to Christ For the City International.
Some special needs I will have during this transition include a place to live, furnishings, a car, and a job. If you are able to help out with these or know of anyone who can, contact me at sunshineloveland@gmail.com. The most important to me is finding a car. I can’t get a job without a car and I’ve got some good leads on job opportunities.
Thank you for your prayers during this time of transition. Thank you for supporting what God has been and continues to do amongst my girls at Renacer and for your continued support as I transition back to the states.
I will continue my blog to encourage others as God takes me on this journey. I will also be post my prayer requests in the next few days.
“I am overcome with joy because of Your unfailing love, for You have seen my troubles, and You care about the anguish of my soul.” Psalm 31:7
