Called by Name

I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.

Isaiah 45:3

My treasures are not very hidden...

The secret place is not very quiet most days...

Slowly by slowly, as we say in Africa, I am getting to know Him

I would have not realized 7 years ago setting out, that He knew me so well if He had told me these were my surprise gifts!

I thought because He knew me, He would call me to preach, teach, even heal...

I get to instruct, discipline and kiss booboos...

For this season, for these days...this is my treasure.

He knows me.

I am loving getting to know Him.

Thanks for carrying us on this journey to know Him more...and make Him known along the way!

To Reach the World with Jesus!!!

 

Because these little dears are my day time focus, we organize certain ministries for after dark! Last night we got to share "God's Story" a video by Simply the Story in our yard on a big wall of bougainvillia. We have invited a group of about 12 Muslim men to come for dinner and a movie!

 

Only four showed (typical that we would get all excited and had somehow have miscommunicated in our invitation). We LOVE it that Jesus is not impressed by numbers! :)

 

Anyway, one of the men whispered to Billy of his interest in Christianity, but his fear of family and their opinions. We continue to pray for the open hearts we got to share with last night...and do sit with weekly in town. Thank you for praying with us that Jesus will meet each one in His best time!

 

Thank you for carrying us in the days...and the nights!
