Dear Friends, we are home now
from our 3 week ministry trip to Colorado and Kansas City! What an amazing trip it was with all kinds of
weather, divine appointments and encounters of the Jesus kind! We never know
all the Lord has planned but when we look over our shoulder to all He
accomplished we can do nothing but REJOICE, PRAISE and be SO THANKFUL!! His
protection was over us all the way. Thank all of you for your prayers!! We saw rainbows
to remind us of His continual presence in our lives and His promises that are
YES and AMEN! We saw snow to remind us
of His purity and peace! We saw rain to remind us that He knows the needs of
this world He created and moisture is one big need in so many areas.
We adopted new grandchildren on this trip and
visited with those who have been members of our Jesus family for a while. Our hearts were so touched by the love extended
to us and we gave many hugs and lots of love away. How do we condense 3 weeks into a few
sentences? Jesus IS LORD!! That says it all! One of our dear missionaries
always says “BUT GOD” and we saw that lived out every moment of each day we
traveled and ministered. We saw
marriages touched by His healing hand, we saw hearts wounded by pain and fear
healed by His loving touch, we saw lives transformed by the Word of God and the
prayers of the Saints and we saw how HE led and guided us into people’s lives
that did not know Jesus but knew they had had an encounter with Him when we
left them. In motels, restaurants, homes
and stores we saw Him in smiles, words of encouragement and the peace shown in
people’s faces and lives. A precious
little guy, grandson of some dear friends, blessed my heart by singing Jesus
Loves Me with me. His smile lit up my
world as we played and sang together. So many people need to know the reason
for our joy. It isn’t based on what we
have or who we know but totally based upon whose we are, we BELONG TO JESUS!!
He IS ALL we need! We shout it from the rooftops and tell every person we see,
we LOVE JESUS and HE LOVES US!!
We look forward to our next adventure in
traveling but we also look forward to each day that we are at home. Our
neighbors are THE BEST in the world. They care for our home and our yard while
we are gone and they had quite a chore this time because of all the rains. We
publicly thank each one who mowed and watched over our property and we praise
the Lord that as we drive out of the driveway we station warring angels around
the perimeter to protect and defend what the Lord has given us. We are so very
blessed!!
Our life scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6 and we mention it again here: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths." We seek to live and walk these truths daily!!
Join with us on this journey called Life with Jesus and Walking in the Spirit
of God.
