I have just returned from a Missionary trip in Panama City, Panama. It was a reminder for me of what being a Missionary is all about. You enter a foreign land with a different culture and way of living, not knowing anyone and sometimes not even the language! You leave all that is familiar behind, along with family, friends and your possessions (car, pets, furniture etc).
Well I just Celebrated my 51st Birthday in the Lord and cannot imagine life without Him! Through all my ups and downs Jesus has been there to see me through!
I would like to speak from the heart today and open up with the story of David when He was chosen to be King.
Throughout the Bible we can read story after story about the Faithfulness of God. We see how God takes a situation and uses it for His purpose!
I recently shared in a message about 2 Pastors that sat next to me on different flights to Hawaii and how we exchanged testimonies and talked about the Lord! I also shared about how God had quickened me about the urgency of the times and asked God to help me speak to others more! After that prayer many opportunities came my way and I was able to do just that, “Speak Jesus!”
This month we have been experiencing some pretty strong storms that have been hitting us back to back! They have caused much damage; floods, trees falling, fences falling down, roofs collapsing, cars stuck in flood waters, power outages and even deaths! We have been told to prepare and stay in and hunker down, but you know, this could get kind of scary!
It has taken me a while to be able to sit down and put into words the devastation I feel in the loss of my lifelong love. It has been over a month now and I am still trying to process the fact that Art is gone. You can try and imagine what it will be like or how you will cope but you don’t really know until it becomes your reality!
