Putting on Our Overalls


Share |

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
John 14:27

          14 days until we say goodbye to our cute pug Noel, our family and friends and board the plane to our new home in Cambodia for one year. I close my eyes wondering where we will live, what the people will be like, what the working conditions will be like, the safety, the food (please no E-coli), our ministry....the girls and how they will adjust, leaving our family and friends behind...but all I hear the Lord speak into my heart is, "trust me." So that is what I am going to do:) At our local church, about four years ago, a Kenyan pastor came to our church to preach. He said something that still sticks. He said when we walk with the Lord, He will require us to put our overalls on and "get dirty." Walking with the Lord requires us to do some work...it's not always pretty, but the Lord will give us His peace as we walk through. 

May I pray? Thank you God for this opportunity! Thank you for your peace...your provisions, and providing every time! Please find a home for our pug Noel before we leave. In Jesus name, Amen.
