My husband's sister and family are serving there under the Pilgrim Conference. It's quite the mission field!

And I needed the reminder to cook for Jesus :) A little over 2 years ago God called me here to NYC to cook for His Missionaries...even though I did not want to do it...He very plainly told me this is what He wants of me...I know how it is to shop, cook and clean,over and over....But I too will do it for Him.

Focus on today......God's strength is enough for today and when tomorrow comes, you will find new strength and grace. I won't pretend that you won't have your trying moments here and that it won't be hard sometimes, but on the other hand, you will find yourself being richer for it all. God is so GOOD and His love so tender. We were really disappointed at not seeing ya'll too but it's ok. All in God's timing.<br />much love and many hugs!!

I needed to read this and Im pretty sure I need to print it out and keep it close at hand for the next 2 yrs. :} Honestly it kinda made me tired hearing all that. (Tired describes me most days lately) and I try to not feel overwhelmed or worry about being too tired to be what I need to be..esp. in the next 3 months or so and into the unknown. My God is able. And in my weakness may His strength shine out. This blog post just means alot to me. Thanks again! Gotta stop being upset about not seeing yous but I know God is even in those details. All my love and a hug for that sweet squishy pumpkin on the last picture. ~JanJan3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04811525910579165455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592031449482706276.post-59419044658396649952015-07-26T21:02:28.799+03:002015-07-26T21:02:28.799+03:00Love this post..

One ...Love this post.. I'll need it for sure; )<br />One thing that came to me during the " waiting/ preparing" time of last several years was this: if we were not content here, we wouldn't be anywhere else either. Your words echo that thought. <br />Can't wait to see you! :)JesseandCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860105637996119099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592031449482706276.post-30489899376291404062015-07-21T22:09:39.832+03:002015-07-21T22:09:39.832+03:00....and we will miss you! ....and we will miss you!

Funny that so often we struggle to be...Ah, friend! Funny that so often we struggle to be what we have been all along, merely needing a change of perspective, a change of expectation, and a resting into who God has created us to be - not who we think we should be. I think it is a life-long challenge, for sure, but ahhh! i love it when after wrestling for many nights and days, healing and growth is realized in our hearts and we we get to step into a small measure of fullness, rejoicing in the God who works such wonders not just around us but IN us too!!<br /><br />Miss you!Licia Augustahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878576908220990582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592031449482706276.post-68272654947988192922015-07-17T15:33:27.739+03:002015-07-17T15:33:27.739+03:00The big lizard is called a monitor lizard and this...The big lizard is called a monitor lizard and this one was found in the chicken house.

I often look at a picture of my large family and think, this is my mission field. <br />Andrew is beside me looking at your pictures as I read. He was very impressed with the lizard (or whatever it is), and then when I got to sweet little Christopher's picture, he said, "Awwww.... The cutest part is his eyes... and his hair... and his chin." Add in his 4yo lisp since he can't say any "s" sounds. We love babies around here. Your little man is growing quite nicely. :)♥ Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023086138794869820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592031449482706276.post-6958065986342700252015-07-17T11:54:59.689+03:002015-07-17T11:54:59.689+03:00This reminds me of a couple from our church who ar...This reminds me of a couple from our church who are also missionaries in Africa and how he shared that one day his wife reminded him, "God is more interested in what he is doing IN you than THROUGH you." <br /><br />Blessings to you and yours as you return to the states!Bethany Eicherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279586692972368906noreply@blogger.com
