We are learning if we can figure something out, it isn't the way it will happen.
We are learning (afresh and even more) we have been blessed with amazing children. They are always ready to _______ ... the blank has been filled in endlessly with a variety of things. They have met each challenge and task with a sweet spirit, and a wonderful work ethic. Thank You Lord for our children!
We are learning people all around this great land are willing to sacrifice for the Lord, and in turn be a direct blessing to us. What a great God we serve! (Luke 6:38)
We are learning what it means to be loved by friends from a distance. We have received countless texts and e-mails, facebook messages and notes from our home church family letting us know they are praying, and we cannot tell you how much they have meant. There have been situations that in retrospect should have sent us over the edge... or certainly would have without the prayers of others! THANK YOU!!!
We are learning what it means when we read "my God shall supply all your needs", and "take not thought for the morrow"... for truly sufficient unto the day is the evil (read car troubles!)... and the blessing thereof! We would be more than overwhelmed if the Lord was not so gracious and patient!
We are learning it is a sweet and glorious thing to be the clay in the hands of the great God and Creator of the universe. We know our affliction which is but for a moment, worketh a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory... IF WE LET IT! The Lord is doing a work, and we must be willing to roll with Him! If he chooses to press, we must not resist. If he chooses to stretch, we must not break. Only by his grace and through the truth of his Word strengthening us will this be the result!
All in all it has been an amazing two weeks! We are enjoying our time with the Pestkes, and loving this Mississippi weather. We are nearly fully booked each week until November 1st- to God be the glory!
Please continue to pray for us to be holy in all manner of conversation. Pray we make lasting bonds with fellow servants of Christ, and that they will be moved to pray for us. Lord willing some will partner with us financially. We give all the Glory to God.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Psalm 29:2
