Egypt Update #3

I talked with Jim today while he was at the home of their sponsor, Josh. It was about 10:15 p.m. there and they were working on setting up a website for Josh.

I didn't have much time to talk to Jim because I was late for a meeting at work. But he sent me an email of his experience at the zoo, I thought I would share with you:

"Things are going well. We went to the zoo and took pics of people. It was incredible. The people are very friendly. I have had some great talks with taxi drivers. It was sad for the animals. They are so mistreated but the families there were great to shoot." (video that is...)

Please continue to pray for their safety and the opportunities God has for them to minister.

Pray for me and the kids. My brother and his family are back at home in Canada but my kids had grown accustomed to staying up late with their cousins that they have had a difficult time settling in at night. I am so worn out from work and playing host that my patience is thin. I know I am blessed because I have really good kids but tired Mom and hyper kids is not a good mix.

Love you all!

Never have I felt more secure in a friendship than with her. Then there was a turning point and it all changed. When I look back and try to figure out what went wrong, I go over scenarios in my head and what-ifs but I always come up with the fact that it really doesn’t matter how it came about but that it has happened. I must deal with it. Yet, every Sunday I grieve like one whose family member has died. Certain songs I hear just bring the hurt back to mind and I find myself grieving all the more. I compare many women I meet to her and they come up short. I’ve heard the saying, “Time heals all wounds” and have foolishly said it once or twice myself. However, I am not sure that it will ever heal...I can only pray that o...

All Things

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 How often do we wonder what God's plans are? How often do we think that He is not paying attention to the "trivialities" in our lives? I confess ... I am confident in the message of Romans 8 but yet I am weak and doubt time and time again. God, help my unbelief. Infuse me with your Spirit; grant me confidence each day.
