"Rejoice in the LORD your God! For the rains He sends are an expression of His grace!." Joel 2:23
Jesus is so kind to give us His Word and His promises! I had a moment yesterday between various visitors and meals and babies and I said, "Oh, Jesus, this is our moment, please meet me!" He DID!!! I read the first two chapters of Joel really fast, but He spoke to me and I praise Him for that.
This verse reminded me of you all...we needed rain and asked you to join us in prayer and He sent rain!
We have needed water at various times and we asked you to cry out with us and Jesus responded!
Rest has seemed unattainable at various moments and we have petitioned you all to petition Him with us and He has provided.
Once again He has out-done Himself!!! We REJOICE today! We needed just a loving Hug from Him and He sent our precious sister!!! Cricket has arrived safely and we just feel so loved by Jesus that He might give us more than we could imagine...a precious family that loves us and is willing to make such major sacrifices to express their love!!! Thank you for praying with us for our dear team from Tennessee...a lot has happened in their preparation and Cricket is joined here with only Matt and Bonnie Burton(dear friends and supporters from Ooltewah UMC).
This morning Billy, Aaron Heinrich, Cricket, and the Burtons left for Nebbi. They will be there through Wednesday. Today is a prayer time to prepare the way for the week. Tomorrow is training with our pastors...Andrew is leading again this week. Sunday they will join in worship at a couple of different churches and then Sunday afternoon through Tuesday they will meet with all of our various pastors' small groups that they have been sharing their stories with! Some small groups are the pastors' children and wife...some are church members, some simply community members. The team will be staying in a guesthouse in Nebbi. Thank you for praying for them and for us as we MISS them!
We do REJOICE in JESUS today!!! He has brought great rains to express His grace to us.
