Hello World,
Boy, am I thankful. I am thankful for this beautiful world that gets smaller and smaller everyday. I am thankful for the capacity to type and for dogs to cuddle and a warm place to sleep. I am thankful for my husband, cooking for me right now. I am thankful for this moment to exist and breath.
I have been so incredibly blessed this year.
I started it in Utah. We had planned to tour in the States from that February.Then we went back to France as a huge old shock. It was an abundant-over-the-top-extra joy and the story to tell about it is one that I'll never get tired of telling. Here's the link to that awesome story. It was with immense pride and joy to find out that the wonderful lady we trained and lived with took on the reigns of leadership after we left. We came to the States this June and have spent the last six months here. We reopened an old area, and had an amazing time of it. We trained up a girl who's parents were in Covenant Players back in the 80's! Our first second generation CPer, pretty neat honor there.
I want to write more (no, I really mean that) AND let you into my world more, about what the prayer needs are, and what I'm seeing and experiencing. Since I started sewing bags out of denim and other materials, my diary has been pretty much ignored, so maybe writing here will actually keep me writing.
I do plan on sharing things I've read in the Bible that jump out to me, or just nudge me into thoughtfulness. I was reading about when Jesus rose from the dead, and the thing that nudged me was how the angel rolled the stone away and sat on it. Maybe there's an immovable rock in your life, but it's not permanant to God. He can send one of his angels to roll it away. The physical image of this simple triumphant stance just resonated with me, and I don't seem to be able to put it into words. But maybe that's okay. Maybe this image is meant to touch someone who reads this, and give some spark of faith and confidence to the One who CAN handle the things we can't.
Be blessed and Happy New Year!
