Have I told you how much we love Mondays? WE LOVE Mondays! Tonight was a little different, usually we say to come at 6pm and they show up at 6:30, tonight however, some came at 7 and some at 8. The rain played a part in this as they all have to walk and it isn't very comfortable in the rain. So we understood and it really didn't effect much of the night. As usual we had a total of 25 people and as usual we had some old friends not come and had one new friend come!
Please pray for Salvador. He is a new believer who is also a recovering alcoholic. He has done so well with his fight against alcohol! However, now his problem is that his mom is dying of cancer. She is pictured with Annie on July 6th and again on the 10th. She is 80 years old and the doctors say she has had cancer for four years. However, she just started showing signs of being ill about a month ago. Salvador is having a very difficult time with the fact that God would allow this to happen to his mom. He usually comes every Monday night but tonight he did not come. His wife said he is losing his faith. Many of his family members are wanting to have a witch doctor come and try to heal her. We plan on meeting with Salvador and his mom on Wednesday and hopefully share with them about the healing power of THE Great Physician. It may not be in His will to heal her physically, but I know it IS His will to heal her spiritually. Please pray that somehow we can get across to him that bad things happen to good people. WE should know! :o) I say that with a smile!
I titled this Monday Madness because it is always crazy right up until the house is cleaned up and the kids are in bed. Monday nights bring a LOT of dirt into our home! Our roads are dirt roads, so it is all brought inside on Mondays! School is going great, but it does make for a really crazy Monday! I wanted to thank all of you for your continued interest in our lives. I hear from many of you who say you read this daily. I really hope I don't disappoint you with my boring entries! Love you all!
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
Oh, missy..it is always God's will to heal.. Matthew 8:2,3
ReplyDeleteim praying for Salvador and his mom. tell Salvador how much God loves him... every good and perfect gift is from Him. the enemy is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
may he know an abundance of the Father's unconditional love for him!
Dear Greg, Missy, Jerod, Alex, and Annie,
ReplyDeleteIM happy you are all doing well. Jerod, I hope your birthday party was fun, and that you and your family had a greatime at the beach. Missy I will keep Salvador in my prayers. He is dealing with so much,but we know that God will give him strength and peace. I hope is Mother is free from pain. I will pray for her as well. God bless you and your mission work.As far as politics, I enjoyed the Democrat Convention, and will watch the Repbublican Convention. I am still undecided how I will vote, right now. I will wait until the debates. The important thing, is who will put the best interests of Americans 1st. may the best man win. Take care.
