No Pictures, Just Thoughts

We are doing well. And that is because the L-rd is so good to us. The other day, we had a slight "accident," and as soon as it happened I thought "We should have expected this...nothing has happened to us in a while!." But I love how faith proves itself through works.

It happened immediately after we mailed out our support-raise letters for our ministry and upcoming project. I won't go into the details, they really don't matter, but there was nothing we could do at the time but wait. And while we waited, we waited on the L-rd. Come to find out, we didn't have to do ANYTHING. The L-rd completely took care of us and the situation.

Now, let me take a moment to say, we aren't always so easily trusting in the L-rd...we are very hard-headed and tend to want to fix everything ourselves, but after many trials where we had no option but to trust Him, the faith and trusting part has gotten somewhat easier.

We have a promise, not only that we are given a measure of faith, but each of us can increase our faith. It's like a muscle, it grows when you use it. So, as painful as the situations are sometimes, we are learning that the pleasure that comes after trusting in the Creator and Sustainer is more enjoyable than being able to fix the situation immediately.

We pray that each of you who visit our family page here are blessed daily by His presence, His peace, His direction, His forgiveness, His love and His faithfulness.
