In this new year, after reading John 6, I decided to kneel down and give thanks to God for the "small number" of opportunities He has given me to share His love during this time of physical pain.
A miraculous thing happened when I opened my mouth and began to give thanks...the list grew and grew and grew as I thanked God!
I couldn't believe how many opportunities He has given me to love and share His good news with people. It was as if God was reminding me one by one of the multiple opportunities I have had and am having.
I ended my time of prayer astounded and encouraged.
I was reminded of the miraculous work of God, that when we give thanks to Him for what we have, He can reveal the unseen or forgotten blessings.
My mom was thankful to visit with one more of her cousins on the way out of PA into WV!
My final visit was with The Refuge church in West Virginia.
They had the youth sit in for the service, and it was a blessing to share with them too!
After the service, they gathered into small groups to pray for people. This group prayed for my health and God's timing and purposes for my life.
What a wonderful way to end this trip, and I praise God for His grace, protection, and strength during this time.
Thank you for praying with me and sharing in the blessings of all that God has done!
It was wonderful to visit with this Mozambican family in Pennsylvania. The father, Americo, and the mother, Candida, have been studying and will be preparing to return to Mozambique, where they will serve the Lord.
They would greatly appreciate your prayer as you think of them!
This last weekend sharing with the churches in Antioch and Milligan's Cove, PA.
The pastor of these two churches asked my mom to share a few words about what it's like to be the parent of a missionary. One man told her his heart was changed because of what she shared.
Praise the Lord!
