Some of you may know that we had planned a trip to Honduras this fall as a family. Life was pretty much centered on that thought for me, and I was busily cleaning and getting ready for a yard sale this month. Then, on PD’s birthday, we were all out on Lake Norman, having a much-needed and special day of relaxation when a call came from World Missionary Press. That is the printing press PD worked at for over a year in Indiana. They called to see if he could come out for a few weeks to help with a very important container of scripture booklets for Iraq that was pre-funded by some very generous hearts. He immediately felt that perhaps this was a word from the Lord. We felt keen disappointment initially, knowing we could not do both that and go to Honduras within two months. But that only lasted briefly, and then gave way to a perfect, settled peace. We feel so blessed to be led of the Lord in this way. We are very excited to go and take part in spreading the Gospel . It has taken a few days to adjust our brains to this. We feel some warfare involved, but we are so grateful to be on God’s side, knowing that He has won the victory already! The girls are very excited to go back to our old stomping grounds and see many dear friends that we hardly ever get to see. Hasta Luego!
Sounds like a change of plans. The best place to be is in God’s will, as you already know.
You have some busy girls. Back in March one was sitting the toilet stool. Now one is standing in the washer. Have fun.
We will miss! Am glad you will get this opportunity to be a blessing in God’s work
Love,
Tina
I decided to waltz by and see if perhaps, maybe just maybe you have updated. to my astonishment i found TWO new posts.
a big change of plans like that deff takes getting used to. the voice of God speaking into your lives, giving you that peace, that’s awesome. and i was so encouraged by the little mentions you made about God’s love. i was 16 years old before i ever realized that God loved me. i still get emotional when i think about it. and recently i’ve been learning even more about his heart, and how great his thoughts are toward me. it’s awesome!
what precious little girls…
