GO


 

Good morning on this special day!

This is the last day of VBS. But last night was awesome. Oh my! We had about 91 but it was a great night of ministry. The song in the music part of assembly that was new tonight is a worship song. It was called Worthy. Wow! It was beautiful and everyone was so quiet and then I kind of gave a short sermon. Well not really a sermon but I tried to talk a bit about living for Jesus and that He was worthy. And then in the classes everyone talked about salvation and what it means to live for Jesus. We had the privilege of praying with a teenage girl about difficulties in her life. We also have had quite of few kids that God has saved. Praise the Lord! Please pray for them that they will learn how to live for Jesus.
We are only here for a week. And when there are salvation decisions made, there is no discipleship for them. Some may go to church. So, pray that that will be something that can be remedied. 
Everything just went great last night. I am so thankful. I always help my husband with the refreshments and take pictures and help wherever needed. I was able to help with the story in the 1-2 grade class. I just love all this stuff.
 
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here. And so much for our great team. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here. We wouldn't be doing what we are doing because we couldn't do it without them.
 
And He said to them, “Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15
 
This is what we are here for: to go and to preach. We came, all 24 of us, and we have a new team member since we have been here. The church and community worker from the mission has been with us all week. It's the first time we have had a team member from Mississippi. Praise the Lord! He is part of us. We are so thankful for him and all the work he has done for us and with us as well as his own daily duties here at the mission.
 
All of us are to go whether it is to our cousins and neighborhoods, or the next city, or the next state or country. But we can't just talk about it, we have to just do it. We have to get out of the box. We have to. It is a command.
 
Think about it. Have a blessed day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

Image
  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
