My Precious Son!

Deputation Trail

This past week has gone well. We have traveled over a thousand miles and are now in PA. Not everything has gone as planned (not sure it ever does), and at times it has been stressful, but the Lord has given us more than we deserve. I have definitely been out of my comfort zone and am learning to grow closer to Him and serve Him with a more sincere heart. I thank the Lord that He does whatever He needs to draw us to Himself.

Services at each of the Churches have gone well. David has done an excellent job preaching and presenting the ministry. Joshua has been going to the nursery and has done very well. I have to say, we have a great baby. I even get to sleep most nights! We are definitely already praying for his salvation and for God to use him mightily.

I have been reading in Revelation during my devotions and the Lord is speaking to me about being zealous for Him, hot or cold but not luke warm. I pray to be the Christian I can for God's glory most of all, but also that I may be the wife and mother I need to be. I was challenged at LBC anniversary service when John spoke about his Godly mother. I pray that one day Joshua will be able to say that about me.

Growing in Christ

Wow, this last month has been, well, it's been great and challenging and fulfilling and challenging and sweet! I have enjoyed my precious son so much but am realizing how much I need the Lord to be the wife and mother I need and want to be. I have a long way to go. Please pray for my walk with Christ to grow closer and sweeter. I would greatly appreciate these prayers and prayer for God to mold my heart into what He wants it to be and for Him to give me the desires of His heart. This is my sole desire for myself. I know it will help me to do His will.

God has been so good to us. He has more than provided for our needs and has provided the funds for David to go and visit our field in the next few months. One day David and I were discussing the need for him to go and how much it would cost and that evening we got a check in the mail for just about that amount. What a mighty God we serve!

This month is going to be busy. We leave on the first and will not get back until the 23rd. Sure hope that Joshua adjusts to traveling pretty soon!!
