Egypt Update #4

I missed Jim's calls yesterday because I was in a meeting. I did hear through the kids that he ate some interesting Egyptian food and was enjoying helping Josh set up his website. I received a text early this morning saying he'd been to the "port" and it was amazing and that they'd been to a mosk.

I just received a text from Jim today saying it had been a great day. Earlier in the day they went to see the fishermen take their boats out. He said in his text he "pulled in some nets with some fishermen" and saw some catacombs.

Though he can't say it, you can fully expect that he is having great conversations about other fishermen from long ago who met THE fisher of men. Continue to pray that he has opportunities to tell the Story.

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.
