He is Faithful- February 2016



I remember the day I was so excited that school was over!  I rejoiced, no more sitting in classes, hours studying, assignments to hand in or tests to take, thinking to myself, I am done, no more classes.   Now, I am student once again, taking Bible Classes and spending many hours studying, reading, and taking quizzes.  Honestly, I don’t think school ever ends because we are constantly learning.  I have almost completed the Old Testament Class and have thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the New Testament and Mission Theology.  I am in awe of God’s faithfulness, not only in the lives of those in the Bible, but also in my life. 

Just keep studying..Just keep studying
Lately, I have felt like a nomad, one who doesn’t have a permanent place, who keeps moving from one place to another, with suitcases in hand. It can get tiresome, but I am reminded of God’s faithfulness.  Abraham was asked to leave his family and to trust the Lord, Moses and the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years, and in each of their lives God was faithful, He provided just what they needed. In the same way, the Lord is faithful to me. He has gone before me and prepared the way. He has provided places for me to live, ministry partners to come along side His work, friends to spend time with, and most importantly a heart that continues to grow deeper in Love with my Savior.

Friends gather together to learn more about my ministry in
Colombia Dec. 2015 but first they have to put a puzzle of 
South America together.  

The Lord has reminded me over and over again the past few months, when I have felt unsettled, that my real home is not in the this world, but in eternity with Him. The words from this hymn, “Jesus
I am Resting written by Jean Sophia Pigott has spoken so much to my heart lately.

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, 
I behold Thee as Thou art. 
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, 
Satisfies my heart. 
Satisfies its deepest longings. 
Meets, supplies its every need.
Compasseth me round with blessings, 
Thine is love indeed. 
Jesus I am resting, resting 
In the joy of what Thou art, 
I am finding out the greatness 
Of Thy loving Heart.

What’s Next?
   After I write this, I am back to studying, so I can finish my classes before I leave.
 When are you leaving?
  • I am looking at a possible early/mid March departure date. I am about fully funded- 96%
 How can I pray for you?
  • Energy to study and finish my classes and that I find joy in doing it.
  • Smooth transitions that will be coming up.
  • Continued opportunities to share Christ with others while I am here in the States.
 How can I learn more?

Always in HIS hands!!

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.   The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.  The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.   You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.   The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.  The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.   He fulfils the desires o those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:13b-19 I don't know about you, but I find great joy in reading the scriptures.  Over the past couple weeks I have really enjoyed the Psalms, the fact that there is so much depth to them and that many of them have spoken right to my heart.  The verses above, I read today.  I was sitting in El Bosque Parque reading and just soaking up all that the Lord has done in my life.   I am reminded that the Lord ...

His Love Will Never Fail!

Enjoying a girls afternoon! Dear Friends, One year ago, this month, I left the states to be a missionary, a desire the Lord put in my heart a long time ago.  I left for Colombia, South America and a short time later, I moved to Costa Rica to study Spanish.  Living in Costa Rica is amazing.  From the sunny days and cool evenings to the people I meet and have the opportunity to pray with and share Christ with, I couldn't ask for anything better. And I am thankful to stay for a little while longer.  You read that correctly.   I have been given the opportunity to continue to study Spanish (which I am so thankful for), build relationships and live life here sharing the Gospel until... the LORD knows!  Flexibility is the key...   Proverbs 19:21 says,  "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."   The  LORD  is directing my steps a little d...

The adventures of Mini-Pete and Pals!

Exploring, climbing, hiding, is what we, Mini-Pete, Charlie and Tiger enjoy doing.  We've had some great adventures...Before we begin...let me officially introduce ourselves. The yellow lab- that is me Mini-Pete,  Tiger is in the middle and Charlie is the German Shepherd The journey of Mini-Pete just began with me, years ago traveling by myself.  However a year ago, I was told you need a friend to travel with, so Charlie came on board.  Charlie and I both came from the same home- so it was nice to catch up after several years and it was very kind of Shelly to give us both to Kimia.   This is Kimia-an adventurous, fun and loving person. The fact that she takes two little dogs and tiger with her about every where she goes..tell you that she is young at heart . You see, Kimia is quite adventurous and we really enjoy traveling with her.  To be honest, you never really know what your getting into until you spend a lot of time with her...Once...
