TRUST HIM


Good morning on this fine day!

God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me. (To us.)
 
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish
you and guard you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3

Well, last night was the first night of VBS on the Choctaw Reservation. It has been rather chaotic but then the first day usually is. The evil one has been very busy working on us but Jesus has the victory. All kinds of things happened which I won’t get into. But as I said God is so good. He is in control and we will resist the devil and he will flee from us. May God be glorified.

Last night at VBS we started our first night with 89 Choctaw kids and adults. There were 9 adults. That is a great first night. The kids were so good. That is very unusual. Pastor Daniel and Sybil from this church where we have VBS, Great Spirit Methodist Church, gave them a talking to and they mostly listened. Praise the Lord! Only a few wayward children.
It was really great. I can’t praise the Lord enough. I will post pictures with this also. I hope that you enjoy.

And after a great night's sleep, I am really thankful. None of us slept the best the first night here but no one is getting up as early this morning. And that is a great thing. We need our sleep. A mission trip is a very tiring environment: hot, busy, can be stressful, etc. But tonight should be a lot smoother. With one night under our belt, it is easier to know what to expect especially for the ones who have never been with us before, or never been on a mission trip before. Sometimes it is the unknown that keeps people in their comfort zones.
But you know what? God wants to take us out of our comfort zones in order for us to totally trust Him. He is the only one that we can lean on completely. Praise be to God, our Father!
Have a wonderful day! We will!

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...
