UPHILL BATTLE

Lately we have been overjoyed and down in the dumps almost simultaneously. Al's new job has not turned out to be what we expected.

We have some other frustrating situations; some small and some much more significant. We cannot disclose the details of these situations, but we ask you for your prayers. We know Adonai is faithful and will provide for our every need. Pray for us to be faithful to the hope which we hold in our heart. Pray for us to be fruitful with the blessings that have been showered on us. Pray for us to be focused on G-dly perspectives and decisions. We know you can hear our heart, as we hear yours.

We know that every believer out there, with tears in their eyes, does not need to understand the details to understand the pain. We cry with sadness and joy; sadness for the pain, joy for the living. We know you and you know us. Our spirit testifies to the fact that we are one body of believers - each one with his/her own load - but we can all uplift each other. And we need this. As sure as it has been won, we will win this uphill battle.

Hbr 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised;
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as we see the day approaching.
