Thankful Prayer

We should not stop at thanking Him for all the blessings and answers to prayer. We need to go further.

Hide & Seek?

I love hiding where I can see my kids, but they can’t see me.

His “Much More” Gifts

God is not limited in His understanding of our needs and desires. It’s not because of who we are or what we’ve done but because of Who He is.

Kristin’s Book Recommendation

The plain truth is that the Scriptures never teaches us to wait for opportunities of service, but to serve in just the things that lie next to our hands.

About an hour from the airport, George got an email notification on his phone that Delta Airlines had tried to call. They said, “Do not proceed to
airport until you speak with us. Your flight has been cancelled.” We were on our way to the airport to return to South Africa for our 3rd term.

I’ve heard the illustration of our life being in 3 buckets labeled: Things I can change. Things I can’t change. Things I can influence through prayer. Sometimes we spend all our time with our heads in the bucket of things we can’t change. That will surely overwhelm & discourage us. It’s a bleak view.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

We began our traveling the end of June. For deputation, and our last furlough, we had a travel trailer. So traveling with just a minivan was new to us. While both ways have their pros & cons, we had a good trip. This particular trip, we were in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Ohio. Along the way we were able to spend a week with each set of grandparents. It always works out nicely when you have supporting churches nearby family. This was special as none of our family in the Midwest had met Luke yet! We have lots of memories and pictures were captured.

Greetings from the land of cardboard and packing lists! I am SO thankful the weather has cooled off a bit. It is a beautiful time of year to be packing. We are in the process of packing up our entire house, and moving into a storage facility for the time we are on furlough. The house we were renting already has been rented out again after we leave. We will most likely have to find another place next term. God knew exactly where we needed to be this time, and knows where we need to be next time too. There are always people we would probably have never met, except that God had placed us in the same neighborhood.
