Father's Handy Work . . . .

Four years ago today, on September 13, 2007, we boarded a plane in Denver with six bags, headed for Guatemala and whatever the Lord had in store for us.  Wow! 

Some people say they would like to know what God has planned for them.  The unknown bothers them or even frightens them.  When we look back over the past four years, we see why Father tells us to just think about today…that today holds all we need to think about.  Had we even a glimpse of what Father had in store for us in Guatemala, we would have known for sure He had the wrong people.   We were wounded, unqualified, unprepared, unequipped, weak, unsure, isolated and more.   In other words, we were perfectly qualified by God’s standards. We were imperfect, raw lumps of clay in the Master’s hands, ready and willing to be molded on the Potter’s wheel.

He’s done exactly as He said He would.   The Lord has grown us, stretched us, taught us, introduced us to some amazing people, exposed us to some once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and led us into an amazing ministry that allows us to work together as husband and wife.  He has given us a deeper and growing understanding of Him that continues to heal and brings joy into our lives.  God has protected us and provided all we’ve needed.   And He has now given us a new mission field, full of challenges that we can only accomplish through Him.   We look forward to our next “season” in the U.S.

We look forward to spending time with our friends back in the States as our new season unfolds, and we are so grateful for the family God gave us in Guatemala.  

The Potter’s wheel is still turning!   We are work in progress….continuing to be molded and formed in His hands.  The fine, detailed work is yet to be completed as we continue to be shaped into His Original Design.  

Please hang on. . . .this ride is about to begin!!
