The Tajik Journey 4-24-2008
Good Morning Friends & Family,
Here’s something interesting. This AM I awoke and spent time with Lori and the baby and time in my prayer closet. I went about everything pretty much as usual, yet today, GOD melted my heart like wax.
Last night I played a bunch of old songs with my guitar just in a time of refreshing and reflection. I simply wanted to have that personal communion before being in the public eye again since we are going to Tajikistan and working with so many wonderful leaders. I also knew that my fingers needed the time on the strings to re build my calloused finger tips after having to stop playing and singing for a few weeks due to being ill.
And GOD stirred me.
Today, I see the pictures and read the schedule for the Tajik Journey and for the first time in many weeks, I am moved inside. GOD is doing something. I needed this. Thanks for allowing me to be a part. Thanks for allowing your pastor the opportunity to grow. Thanks for supporting him and even financing his crazy adventures. Thanks for joining in on my personal faith journey. Thanks for keeping the church going and even making it a better place with your activity, lives, hope, vision, plans and services! I am able to be obedient to GOD and GO only because of you!
Tapestry, you make my life wonderful. You make my dreams come true. Every day that I awake to be in your service is another day that I am truly blessed.
I love joining GOD in these works that HE is already doing. I am always amazed at my being the one most blessed when I go to serve. I hope that in some small way, we can encourage the discouraged and empower the battered. I can’t wait to just go and make some more friends. You know? GOD is so good to us.
I am so excited for what this Tajik partnership means to my little Tapestry. I can sense a bit of destiny in all of this.
Well, I must run back to my duties.
I will miss you all next week, and I look forward to reporting what happens as a result to your prayers, fasting and support the Sunday after I return. It’s all a bit humbling. You know? I mean. You all are the support base I have always longed for.
Blessings!
