Thank you so much.<br /> For our family there is a special reason we give thanks with a grateful heart today. This morning we received a phone call telling us that our dear friend in Christ whom we've known for about 35 yrs. was in NYC to be with his daughter and son-in-law in hospital to deliver their baby when suddenly our friend suffered a heart attack! How wonderful it was to hear the news this evening that ALL IS WELL! Our friend is recovering and very happy to announce the birth of his granddaughter. We are rejoicing! Glory to God for His abounding grace.<br /><br />Amy, sometimes when we're "wondering why"; the Lord gives us hugs of comfort and peace, and you can almost hear Him saying, "Amy, even if you were the only person living on earth, I still would have come down to die for you - remember I'll always love you and be with you forever."<br /><br />With much love and many prayers.helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-84117393304542046662011-11-03T07:02:43.755-07:002011-11-03T07:02:43.755-07:00praying for you today.

I am thankful that everytime I look at your blog I am humbled to my knees to know that you are out there doing the real thing. You couldn't have ask for anything more challenging than this. Although many of us say we wished we could do it, but being taken out of our comfort zone like that to the fullest is just like Jesus. YOu did it anyway because you knew that is what God wanted for you and your family.

The Lord is reminding me afresh and new that it isn't about me. Life isn't about what I can or can't do. Life isn't about me worrying about the results. Life isn't about me trying to figure out how it can all work, count, and come to pass. Life is about me resting in my Fathers care and and just doing what He has asked of me for that day. Man, I still have so far to go. Yet, the Lord in His compassion reminds me of how far I've come. Knowing that one day we will be on the mission field away from everything familiar, I too may be needing to have someone lift me up and remind me of these deep truths again. In this race of life together,<br />Trinanoneyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233648656449201038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-4535041869587828172011-11-02T03:57:03.349-07:002011-11-02T03:57:03.349-07:00God gives us the lenses to see the world His way. ...God gives us the lenses to see the world His way.

I can only imagine how difficult, challenging, trying, yet rewarding your mission is. God has clearly called YOU and your family to this. His grace IS sufficient. It's our flesh that sometimes tries to override His promise of sufficiency through Him and His grace. One thing to remember is that you are doing what He has asked, even when it's never enough (by the circumstances you're physically experiencing, witnessing, living 24/7), but you are doing more than most will ever do. Your obedience is of utmost importance. Remember, He didn't say, "GO save all of Guatemala." He didn't even say, "GO save all who are associated with Eagle's Nest". He simply said, "GO". You obeyed. He will do the rest. Oh, and He'll make sure YOU can't physically do it all because He wants to make sure HE receives all the glory. You're right, Amy, you are NOT enough. NONE of us are. Only HE is. Thank you for the reminder and the example that you are. Love you and miss you!!!Lorraine, AKA Forever Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853149597860113279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-62413173457141997582011-11-01T10:28:45.097-07:002011-11-01T10:28:45.097-07:00I needed this reminder today.
