God's Time

As I sit here on yet another snowy day in New Hampshire I am dreaming of warmer weather in Guatemala. Oh how we long to be there serving the Lord in every capacity we have. It seems so cold and chilly and the warm weather is so appealing to me! But I need to stop and think of how selfish that is. We are here right now, not there. God's timing has us in a little community that we were never going to live in. What opportunities we have while we are here.

We are starting up a Bible Study tomorrow night for the neighborhood. What an exciting time that is. This is our pre-term for Guatemala I guess. God knows when we will be in Guatemala, right now He has us here. So, we will faithfully be making our contacts, praying about what He has for us, and throw another log on the fire.


One thing I have learned over the past several years is that God has us right where He wants us and it isn't good to try to hurry up and get to the next thing before He is ready for us to be there.

Happy New Year!

As I sit here, thinking of the clever things I could be posting here today to give you a "quick" update on things that were wonderfully glorious, as well as the saddest moments that took place, all I can really think of is how wonderful and faithful our Lord is to take care of us in ways that we could never imagine!
The ways that He provided for us this past year still bring me to tears as I think of the past year we had. How many changes that He brought us through, and we are smiling at the end of it all. Praising God at the end of the day and able to thank Him for what He and He alone is doing for us!
We can look back over the past year and see all the diffcult things that happened, but see how God's hand was in everything we did. Guiding and directing us every step of the way.
the words for the old hymn "He Leadeth Me" come to mind right now as I am writing this.
What a wonderfully blessed year we had and look forward to another year of what He has prepared for us!

Here are the words to the hymn I hope they touch you as they do me!



He leadeth me: O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Refrain
He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
by his own hand he leadeth me;
his faithful follower I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me.

2
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
by waters still, o'er troubled sea,
still 'tis his hand that leadeth me.

3
Lord, I would place my hand in thine,
nor ever murmur nor repine;
content, whatever lot I see,
since 'tis my God that leadeth me.

4
And when my task on earth is done,
when by thy grace the victory's won,
e'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
since God through Jordan leadeth me.
