I’m definitely not a preacher. And I don’t like speaking in front of crowds at all. But, last Sunday our Pastor asked me if I would share my testimony the following Sunday morning. I spent most of the week trying not to the think about it. And then spent this morning hoping that he forgot that he had asked me. . . but he didn’t.
It went pretty well. I don’t think I said any bad words. And I feel like I got my message across. It was actually kind of fun. But, I am definitely glad it’s over!
Hey Ryan,
Read your post about future plans and worrying about what to do. I can totally relate. I have been dealing with the worrying issue myself. “Will the house sell this week,” “Will Sandie’s citizenship papers come in time,” “Where will I live a the end of May when the house is sold and the girls are with my parents” However, what you said is right. God has not failed us yet, why should we start to doubt or worry that he is going to start now. He is the one who called us to missions in the first place. Nothing has interupted that plan. Everthing is still moving just as He planned it. Take confidence in the fact that he loves you very much and wherever he places you and your family that that is where you will be most effective and where you will find the most joy and contentment.
Love ya brother,
Jeff
Ola mi hito and hita, Well there’s the extent of my spanish. Just wanted to drop a line and let you know I was thinking about all three of you. I can’t wait until June to get to see you it seems like a long time since January. It is raining hard here today so a good day to be working. My gardens are finally starting to take shape and I am enjoying being outside so much, finally an end to cabin fever. I went to Mountain Home over the weekend to trout fish with my friend and it rained all weekend. Still had a good time. Ethan and I watched and incredibly scary movie, The Curse, that had me jumping more than I have in a long time. We are on the verge of finishing the studio and it’s tough since I ahve a lot of other things I want to be doing. That’s news from the Ozarks. We love you and have you always in our hearts and mind. Dad
