Here Am I, Send Me!

This is a video a friend posted on facebook that I wanted to share...the Lord really spoke to me as I watched this. So many times we ignore the moving of the Holy Spirit telling us to share God's love with someone. So many times we think, "I could never live in a third world country like they do." So many times we say, "I don't want to offend them." If God was to ask us why we didn't go, or why we didn't tell, can we really, truly stand before Him and say, "I didn't know You called me."?


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillippians 4:13


Visiting with Friends

We don't get to make it down to Indiana as much as we'd like to (gas prices!!), but we were able to go last Thursday thru Saturday. We had a nice time visiting with the Fennells and the Picheas (who we haven't seen in 2 years!).


Us ladies had a scrapbooking night Thursday, we visited the Picheas on Friday afternoon, the guys had a lanparty Friday night, and then Saturday we went out for breakfast, and then went to a fall festival thing around lunchtime. Lots of fun!
