Well, my elevation will soon change from 43 feet in Houston to 6035 feet in Colorado Springs. I got my long awaited call from HCJB Global this month asking me to begin service with them on October 1st… my birthday. What a great gift!! I love the Lord’s timing. My support level is only 80%, but I’m making plans to move and trusting the Lord to provide the rest soon.
After a short visit in June with my grandson Tristan, my daughter Renee and I headed to The Jesus Way conference with Eugene Peterson, Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, and John Ortberg. There were so many gems that we took away from the talks, but I particularly loved what John Ortberg said, “There is a God, It is not you. This means our life is not our project. Our life is God’s project.
God thought us up, and He knows what we were intended to be.”
I was triply blessed this month by the kids at my church who attended VBS. They collected quarters each day for missions and presented me with a generous donation of $106.11. Some of these same kids surprised me in May with a donation of over $400, the proceeds from several bake sales they had to raise money for a mission project. I had no idea I was the project. I thank God for their hearts for missions at such a young age, and their gracious gifts. Tristan returned from his third mission trip this week, and he’s just twelve years old! What a blessing to be able to see firsthand the needs of people in other countries and cultures.
