Egypt Update #6

He's coming home!! Jim sent me a text telling me he's in Frankfurt and waiting for his flight home. He gets in around 2:30 tomorrow and I can't sleep I'm so excited.

The last couple of days the team has taken some time to be tourists. They went to Cairo, Egypt to visit the pyramids, sphinx, sail across the Nile, and ride a camel! They went shopping in the market in Cairo and he said it was absolutely CRAZY. He did a lot of negotiating with the vendors despite the fact that he really didn't want to.

I'm so thankful that God has answered prayers for their safety and my sanity (though at times I felt on the cusp of losing it big time). Thank you for all your prayers! We are so thankful for everyone!

One last thing...we are tentatively scheduling a debriefing at the church on Sunday morning, August 24th. We'd love to have you!

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.
