Change of life :-)

Not really... this week has had sunshine, snow, hail, rain and wind... I'm dreaming of warmer days! The kids are getting a little impatient with the weather (as is their mother) and wish we could spend more time out in the backyard... soon hopefully.

We did our Missions Report this previous Sunday in church. There weren't very many people in attendance but we pray that is not because they don't have hearts for missions... anyway it was a little stressful for Willie because I'm so not a public speaker (I say "It's not my gift" but I'm not sure if I don't have enough faith or if it really isn't my thing) in whatever case, I didn't have a lot to say so Willie had to do it - I did the slideshow. A picture is worth a thousand words so technically I did say a lot! It was so good to go through all the pictures of the 5 months that we spent on the road. It brought back so many memories and so many things that we as a family will cherish forever. All the faces we'll always remember and the time that people spent with the kids... and of course our wonderful time with the Raifords and the Glenn's.

God has a way of putting experiences in our lives to forever change us if we took time to plants seeds... Willie 'planted' some wheat in a cup for Samuel to watch grow. We have it on our window sill by the kitchen sink and it's amazing what a short time it needs to grow if it gets the 3 simply things... dirt, sun and water! If only we would grow in the same simple environment. If we would rely on God to give us everything that we need than we would grow in Him. Not sure if that makes any sense but ...

To all of you in God's service - be encouraged!! God is enough! He's more than enough... He's everything!
