Would you believe that it started to snow on Saturday again and they were calling for 1-6 inches! WE only got about an inch so Sunday morning services proceeded as planned but Sunday night was cancelled since there was a lot of ice in the parking lot. Sunday nights they usually do awana's which is a program we are not familiar with so this still wasn't a "normal" Sunday!
Driving to church with the boys (running late as usual!) I heard this lyrics:
Sometimes your calling, comes in dream
Sometimes it comes in the Spirit's breeze
You reach for the deepest hope in me
And call out for the things of eternity
But I'm a man of dust and stains
You move in me so I can say…
Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life I make an offering
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of your plan
Here I am
When setbacks and failures and upset plans
Test my faith and leave me with empty hands
Are You not the closest when it's hardest to stand?
I know that You will finish what You began
And these broken parts You redeem
Become the song that I can sing…
Overwhelmed by the thought of my weakness
And the fear that I'll fail You in the end
In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces
I can't put this together but You can
How true, God is using our failures and upset plans to minister to these students and all along it was HIS plan! Matthew took the opportunity this morning to share his testimony and in doing so gave advice to the students on how to most effectively share their own testimonies. We only had 10 students since the weather was bad-ish but this is our "core" group and it was encouraging that they are coming and excited! They even made a cake for Matthew and brought it this morning! It's wonderful that they're accepting us!
Gibson is much better, his fever broke on thurday and he has steadily improved. Please continue to pray for us and the students at Fox Hill Road, pray for Matthew as he works on planning and scheduling events for the youth and for the boys and I as we adjust to our new positions in ministry!! Thank you! ;)
