This is getting close to our prayer card to give out to people. I tried emailing the proof to Gary in Alaska, but I don't know if he can see it on our little internet connector. He said he won't communicate today because they are seeing glaciers in an inlet rather than being in a town.
I am trying to balance my time between packing away our things, doing some Bible studies I need to finish for my ACSI teaching certificate, and studying Thai.
The Lord has been demonstrating His faithfulness to me this week. After reading Isaiah 41:10 in my quiet time and then Lamentations 3:22-29 for my Bible in 90 days reading Tuesday morning, I focused on trusting Him to quiet my fears. Several have been coming and going this week. Then, I read Amos and Hosea. Although they show God's anger at His people, they also show the great love He has for them. They show His anger that they have rejected the love He has shown them and His great longing to show them His love again if they will turn back to Him. It made me consider the ways I have failed to appreciate the love He has shown to me and how great His love is. Realizing His love and work in my life will be the source of the trust I need to quiet my fears.
