As I stare at a new blank blog page I'm saying a prayer asking God what does He want me to write, what will give Him glory? First of all let me explain. I'am not a writer! The thought of blogging scares me to death! I really would rather not share my thoughts and every little moment of my mostly routine life with the internet world. But to give God glory for what He does in this simpletons life gives me a new hope. This hope inspires me to write that God may use it to speak to someone. As He has shown me time and time again if I just open my mouth and let Him take over He will fill it. We are not yet on the foreign mission field we are here in San Angelo celebrating the resurrected Christ and praying for eyes to see where God will use us on this mission field. Right now it seems to be with our children and some close friends and family. We have been busy getting our house ready to put on the market and getting rid of stuff. Seems like mundane events to most but its in the mundane that God always seems to level me out! His desire for me to grow closer and closer to Him each day is evident as the Holy Spirit calls me to fall face down on the floor to bask in His presence, to fill me with His love, and cover me with His grace. He makes all the unknowns in my life not matter. He gives me a fresh outlook on the days to come. He assures me that out of all the people and relationships that I 'am leaving He is enough! He will sustain me. He holds me and comforts me all along this journey and no matter how impossible all of this seems to me He is the God of possible. I do love Him because He loves me so. He loves that dying, hurting world out there and He wants us to tell the world about Him.  What, then, shall we say in response to this ? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 "I'am with you and watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." genesis 28:15
