Want to begin by saying that the kids and I are in Alabama visiting family and friends. We are having so much fun and making such great memories, all around the state. We miss Eric so much when we are apart for a time, but God has brought us generous financial provision through a holiday peak season job for Eric at FedEx, so he is staying busy driving and packing for our move to Denver. We are thankful for Gods provision, especially what many of you have sacrificially blessed us with! Thank you so much for your continued prayer and financial gifts.
This morning, I was reading Psalm 119. That chapter is full of some good stuff, y’all! I especially thought vs 89-90 jumped out at me today. These verses say, “Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.”
We are to the point of actually packing and moving to Lowry, the neighborhood to which God has specifically called us to take His love and gospel truths. Denver as a whole is, honestly, like an unreached people group here in the US. It would be easy to think that our neighbors in Lowry need a very cool, very 2014 approach in order to accept Christ as Savior and Lord, to spend our energy trying to be “relevant” to the culture. It would be easy to worry that we won’t say or do this church planting thing “right”. These verses are a powerful reminder that Gods Word and His truths stand forever. We have spent over a year learning the culture of Colorado, while living immersed in it, which has been an invaluable experience! But, in Lowry, Gods truths will be as relevant as ever and will stand fast and will change lives! What a comfort and peace that brings me! God is gonna do it all and allow us to be a part of it. I know and believe it and that His way will be perfect and right!
