The last time that I wrote, I wrote about passion and excitement. Living passionately and pursuing fervently after God and what He has for me. I believe with all my heart that I am in the right place and that I am doing exactly what God wants me to. I believe that I am Living The Life! You may ask, how do I know this? Well, let me tell you.
When you are living a life that is full of passion and you are constantly pursuing God and what He has in store, Satan does not particularly like it. For the past few months Satan has been attacking our family physically. It all started when Brooks got sick and has continued to have a cough and achy body. She has been to the doctor here and they have given her antibiotics, but it only seems to help for a while, then the cough and aches come back. Secondly, for the past few day our little girl has been running an extremely high temperature. The medicine that she has been given helps bring her fever down and she is a bundle of energy for a while, but then after it wears off she is lethargic and just wants to cuddle under a blanket. And last but not least, for the past 2 days, I have had a huge splitting headache, runny nose, fever, and chills. Just writing this post is making me feel better because I know that my God is a healer and that He will see us through this.
God has always been faithful to us and He continues to answer our prayers when we come to Him with open hearts. Thank you all so much for your continued prayer for everyone here in Kenya. May God bless you richly for your prayers.
On a lighter note, during the past few days God has given me a lot of new ideas about how to network missionaries, missionary kids, supporters, and churches all together. I am currently in the process of developing a plan to make this happen and hopefully very soon, we will begin to see the fruits of the vision that God has given me. I believe that in order for missions to be successful, everyone must be involved. I know that in the U.S. right now with the looming economic crisis it is easy to just put missions to the side and not send any money because it is needed elsewhere. The one thing that I would challenge everyone to think about is how you can give just a little, because every little bit helps. Rather than going out and buying a meal at a fast food restaurant one day, why not take lunch to work with you. Set that $6 – $10 dollars aside and send it to missions. I am not even suggesting that you send it our way (unless you feel led to). Send it to the missionaries that your church supports, write them an encouraging note, mail a care package, send an e-mail that tells them that you are thinking about them. You woudn’t believe what a pick-me-up it is to many missionaries to just know that people are thinking about them.
Let us continue to strive after God and seek Him with our whole heart. Let us truly live the life that God has for us. Let us walk on the path that God has set before us and not try to forge our own.
LIVE LIFE WITH PASSION AND PURPOSE!!!
