I am so overwhelmed today, and I am also blessed by the faithfulness that I have seen, and am seeing in the lives of Mike and Dezi Worstell. In the adoption process that they have been going through there have been so many reasons for them to quit. Mike even wondered out loud what it is that God was trying to teach them, but now Raena is finally here, safe and at home. I think that God used their experience to teach me something too, I have doubted so many times, I’ve doubted God’s wisdom and His plan. When I saw little Raena today, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by answered prayer, and by faithfulness. In life’s storms God is there, I saw that today.

Please pray for my grandfather. He is in Scotland on vacation visiting his family. We got word on Sunday that he was in the hospital because he had stopped breathing. The thing is, he is an alcholic, and years of abuse has destroyed his body. It might have been pneumonia that put him in the hospital this time, but it is ravaging affects of the alcohol that is keeping him there as they find more things wrong with him.
I ask that yes you pray for his health, but more importantly, pray for his spiritual health. Pray that he might find the way.
of Life and Sacrifice

At our cell we discussed sacrifice it brought all these questions to my mind again. I know that life is fragile, that I could die at any moment. It makes me wonder if I have lived a life that has made a diffirence or am I waithing to be an official missionary. This is where sacrifice comes in, do I sacrifice my life each day to serve God, to make a diffirence in this life. Reading about Paul and Silas’s missionary journey I realize that they did sacrifice, when they were beaten and thrown into prison, and the times when they were banished from towns and cities, they carried on and sacrficed. They sacrificed their backs for more beatings ultimately even their lives. The thing is this, is there anyting on this planet that I think is more important than another human. Is there anything that I would not sacrifice. Is my life, my family, my spouse, my education, my friends, my ministry, is it, is anything more important to me than sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am being challenged to be a broken vessel, a vessel that can truly be used.
