It has been too long since we wrote a blog I am sorry for that. The past two months have been crazy
especially in our house because everything has been breaking. There is always something that needs to be
fixed or replaced. Our house, our car,
our computer etc seems like it has no end and that is just a few of our
problems, but at the end of every day the sun shows up the next day and we see
a new beginning.
Matthew 5:45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his
sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous.
When I think of my problems I think of this verse and
I remember that God haven’t promised us comfort or that all of our problems
will be solved. All of us are children
of God and many times we will have battles and many times we are going to fail
and doubt so the question is not when we are going to fail, but how we are
going to rise. Also, my life of ministry
brings me to another interesting verse in the bible
Psalm 37:23-24 King
James Version (KJV)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
When man falls it is not saying IF but when brothers and sisters this is life we are going to have
dark days and sunny days and God still will be with us so we have to remember a
few things:
1. He orders every single step we make good or bad, sad or happy, He is
there and He knows.
2. WHEN we fail we will not be completely destroyed, and how many examples
we have in the bible just remember that.
In our difficulties we must come back to how good
and powerful of a God we serve. That He is for us and not against us. That we
need to abide in Him; in His name, in His word, in His love, and in His truth.
We are imperfect, We fall. We lose heart. We get down, We get frustrated. WE
MUST COME BACK TO HIM! Why…. Because He is the source of life, the source of
hope, the source of all…because HE is ALL! This world is fading away but some
days this world seems all too big in our eyes and we must discipline ourselves
to refocus our minds and hearts on our good Father.
In these past few months we have had such a
wonderful pleasure of having some great friends come and visit and do ministry alongside
us. The presence of brothers and sister in Christ here with us is so
encouraging and more than a blessing. Also, having Manna teams coming giving their
time, energy, and blessings to the people we work with is such a beautiful picture
of the Lord for us to get to be a part of.
About a week ago we had the privilege of being a
part of a 17 year old boy, we have been working with, become a Christian. It
has been good to watch God change an arrogant heart into one that is humble
enough to see the need for our wonderful savior. Pray for him in his spiritual growth
and relationship with the Lord.
Please keep praying for us as a new year we have
new struggles and old struggles and remember you are not a number you are
family. Also, if we can pray for you guys
please let us know.
