AWESOME GOD

Good day to you! 

And it is a good day. An awesome day but somewhat of a sad day for our team. We had to say goodbye to each other. Our team, our circle of prayer, will never be the same. In all the years we have never had exactly the same team members. There is always those who come back and those who don't come back for whatever reason. We are always just very thankful that God puts our team together. We have made new friends and seen old friends. But I know that some of us have drawn closer to Jesus because of His amazing grace.

This year we tried some things new. We had a young adult/parenting class. We also had an Biblical Abstinence/Responsibility lesson one night for the youth. One night was girls and one night was the boys. This turned out to be an amazing time. And this was something that was really needed. The Choctaw adults who came said that this was something that was really needed. They said that this should be done every year. The teen pregnancy rate  is very high among the Choctaw.

Some people like mission work and some people don't. It is very hot in Mississippi and very humid. Our trip is very tiring and very hard. We are very busy the whole week. There is always a lot to do. We are so thankful for our teams through the years who have accomplished so much for the kingdom of God.

We are on our way home and when getting to the Chattanooga area it is bumper to bumper through it. So we got on Hwy. 11 and taking the scenic route. It is actually very pretty through the hills of North East Alabama and North West Georgia. Please continue to pray for us. 

We are anxious to get home to our own beds. To our own cooking although the food on our trip was amazing. At least I think so! To our families and friends. God has given us an awesome week giving our all to Him!

I will post pictures again:









I will continue to think and write about the trip for several days. And then I will go back to my every once in a while blog. And you can keep reading when you can and if you will.

I will add more later. My computer is about to die.

Blessings,

Lesbear

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...
